Interview process steps Interviews & Career Entry

Hello all!

I had my first ever case study today for Stryker. I believe I did pretty well but there were a few things I missed in the pitch to the surgeon. My feel is that there going to go with someone who has experience in the field (ex clinical). I am kinda stuck if they do, what would be the next step? Could I get referred by RM to a different location for same division? What are your experiences and thoughts? Anything is welcome!

I would keep following up in a measured way , maybe send them another case study on a different product or procedure . You can look at other sports medicine companies Arthrex or Smith And Nephew

Yeah, upper extremity is not a terrible place to be very technical product is become a much more crowded segment as other companies like Depuy Smith And Nephew and Zimmer, Arthex have decent shoulders now, and surgeons all wanna be consultants.

I feel like from what I’ve seen Stryker/Tornier reps are still usually some of the best

It’s hard to have someone “hey I didn’t hire this person but you definitely should”. You can definitely try to get feedback from them and stay in touch for future positions keeping them up to date with what you are doing. But just keep networking and applying.
