Q. Can SPBT help me get a job as a sales representative with a pharmaceutical company?
A. No, our mission is to improve the professional skills of trainers who are already employed by pharmaceutical and biotech companies. We suggest you search several Web sites that specialize in placing people in this industry.

Q. I am a trainer formerly employed in the industry. Will you post my resume on your Web site?
A. We would rather that you e-mail your resume to Bob Rodman at brodman@spbt.org. He will keep the resume on file with SPBT and will contact you when someone is looking. Also, be sure to look at the online job placements.

Q. I am a representative in the field, and I want to become a trainer. Does SPBT have courses that I could take?
A. We do have open courses you could attend, but most companies have a career path that you should follow. The competencies necessary to fulfill a training position should be available from your manager.
