Hi Avijit,
I am currently working as an Area Sales Manager, or first-line manager, in a pharmaceutical company. In all the interviews I have attended, there is one question that always troubles me: what is the role or job function of a first-line manager, and what are the frequently asked questions in interviews regarding this position? I would appreciate your help in this regard.
Thank you,
