Are you passionate about your commitment to healing? Are you looking for a way to turn that passion into action?
Moss Nutrition Products, Inc. seeks a special person for a special opportunity. If you're a tireless advocate for better health... if you want to extend your reach and magnify the good you do... if you naturally combine expertise with integrity, skill with communication...then you'll welcome this chance to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of patients.
Moss Nutrition Products, Inc. provides the highest quality products and advice to health care professionals and their patients. Profitability is a natural consequence of our ethics, our expertise, and our personal commitment to customers.

Eager to connect people to what they need. As someone committed to health, you build customer satisfaction and loyalty by helping them get the products they need, not by manipulating them or selling them untested or needlessly expensive items. You will be most effective if you are a 'people person', if you enjoy developing meaningful relationships, and if you take great satisfaction in being of service.
Comfortable with the toolbox. You possess excellent typing (60 words for minutes or better), computer (PC), and telephone skills. You are comfortable with performing these activities for much of the day. You are accurate and efficient at data entry using our Windows-based software system.
