MEET BRIDGETTE AND RYAN TWO OF OUR JUST- HIRED INTERNS! Internships offering generous pay, lodging at apartments just behind the office, and a good chance at future employment are difficult to come by. But, here at TZ Medical, we pride ourselves on offering our sales interns all three. This year, we gave slots to eight interns who flew in from across the country to work in our Portland office. They spent four months working directly with our sales reps and managers to find opportunities for our products and make appointments with hospitals in underserved areas. A good chunk of their time with us was spent in the field, visiting cath labs and working with clients. By the end of every program, our goal is to ensure they can do the job well — and often, we bring them onboard when their internships are up. Two of this year’s candidates who impressed us were Bridgette Warda and Ryan Buononato, 22-year-old graduates of Bowling Green State University and Texas Christian University, respectively. When their internships wrapped, we hired both of them on as sales representatives, and we couldn’t be happier with our choices! Bridgette will work with hospitals in Ohio, while Ryan will do the same in Texas. Ryan agrees, adding, “It’s one thing to learn everything in the classroom and be on the phone setting up appointments, but actually going out into the field, seeing how sales reps conduct business, and seeing how everything goes in the cath labs and IR labs — in other words, putting what we learned into action — was the biggest takeaway for me.” While both Bridgette and Ryan agree that tackling our catalog of products and memorizing each one took effort, by the end of their internships, they were experts. Now they’re putting their knowledge to work for us and fulfilling their own goals to boot. “I probably learned the most when we did ride-alongs,” Bridgette says of her experience.
TAKE A BREAK
“The internship was a really good opportunity to get your foot in the door for medical device sales, which I knew I wanted to get into,” Bridgette said.
