Egh, I currently work for a Sunless tanning company and i often work beauty shows for them My job at shows is sales. sell as much stuff as possible. Most of the guys who frequent the beauty shows are married or gay (hairdressers, esthetcians ect) so usally I dont get messed with too much. But thier are some creepy guys out their and since I have to try and sell to everyone you get those guys that just go to shows to talk to cute girls, I cant tell you how many times I get hit on by old guys.

Yuck, if the pay was right and hopefully Dr.s would be more proffesional than the businessman at beauty shoes than maybe. But if its all guys that want to hit on you thats just horrible! I though maybe a rep would be an okay job but it just sounds like a gt hit on and be mean kinda job! No thanks

Oh yes I heard it usually requires a batchelors in a science (bio chem ect) but Ive also heard of companies taking people wh odid not have degrees at all.

I have heard that it's very hard work..I see quite a few drug reps, and yes, they are all model-looking and young (20's to early 30's). In talking with them it sounds like they have to work their butts off just to get some time in with the physicians.

Around here the docs have started getting really nasty about seeing the reps. As in, unless they are stunningly gorgeous and bringing free food or taking the doc out to lunch, they're refused entry to the supply cupboard or to talk to the doc at all. I've worked with docs who were hostile about the reps a time or two.

Ya couldn't pay me enough to do it. And just look at my picture
