“Shelby’s guidance was absolutely crucial in helping me breakthrough into my first MSL role. She helped me understand the role better than any research I was able to do on my own because she has lived it. I had several light bulb moments throughout our sessions and gained extreme confidence as my big interview and presentation were approaching. She was enthusiastic, kind but straightforward, energetic, and understood what aspiring MSLs need to know as they enter medical affairs interviews. At the conclusion of the interviews for which I was offered the position, I was told that I was a unanimous decision! I was so incredibly proud of that accomplishment. I owe a lot of the preparation and confidence building to Shelby as she helped me see things I hadn’t seen before in preparing me for a career in medical affairs.”
