Since you are an M.Pharm, you have great opportunity to become a registered pharmacist by undergoing the evaluation exams. Once, you are a registered pharmacist, you can decide whether to continue as a pharmacist (which can be lucrative) or try getting a break in the pharma industry which is not easy to say the least.

Pharmaceutical sales is the ivory tower of this industry and it would be rare(although I know a couple of exceptions) for immigrants to gain entry in this area. Looks and personality matter a lot, so you find a lot of blondes and jocks in pharma sales . Some of them are recruited straight out of university. Competition is intense and positions are few, as there is one company selling one drug (due to patent protection) unlike the Indian industry where you would find 100 brands of Ciprofloxacin. Also, due to the recent mergers of Pfizer-Wyeth and Schering Plough-Merck, there will be a lot of experienced, unemployed marketing and sales people looking for jobs.

One way that immigrants can get around this barrier is to gain entry in a company in a different position, establish yourself and then apply internally for sales jobs that become open. I know of instances when the receptionist has switched over to pharma sales, because of 'internal promotion'

In summary, the best option for you is to start prepariing for the pharmacist licensing exams, pass them, get some experience as a pharmacist and then decise if you want to move back in the pharma industry.

You could have found this link by yourself under a minute by googling it.

Don't take it the wrong way, but you are thinking of taking a life changing step and have to be proactive about it.
