She broke into medical device sales, moved across the world, and now she’s navigating the UK healthcare system. Rachel Littleton shares what it’s like selling medical devices in London as an American, the steep learning curves she faced, and what no one tells you about the first year in the industry. This is for the person curious about what it takes to leap into a new career and a new country.

Key Takeaways:

Network with intention by reaching out to actual reps and hiring managers on LinkedIn, not just clicking apply.
Expect to feel overwhelmed in your first year. It’s normal, and pushing through it is part of the process.
Treat every person in the clinic like they matter, because they do. Secretaries and MAs can be your biggest allies.
Focus on helping patients first; the money will follow when your purpose is in the right place.
If you ever get a chance to work abroad, go for it. You’ll grow professionally and personally in ways you can’t imagine.
