When are the interviews for your new weightloss drug?

 

Re: job interview

any news on the job interviews. I was suppossed to have one next week. However in light of the drug not getting approval and may not see the light of day until possibly not year. Has the company made any decisions going forward? Thanks

 

What specific position were you interviewing for? You are fishing or stirring up trouble as no positions were being interviewed for yet.

 

Okay. Guess I have to be more specific. I am not stirring up trouble. You dont evenknow me so dont make accusations. I got an email from Ms H in HR requesting if I was available for an interview the week of 7/26. Is that more specific for you????? I am waiting to get her response but in light of the situation with the product it appears that interviews may not go forward. Sorry you did not get an email from her.

 

how many positions are they hiring?

 

anybody know this Jamie guy? What a tool? Then they want to follow you with a GPS. They are trying to spin this as a good thing. Dont pee on my leg and tell me its raining.

 

Anyone?

HELLO?

 

Job posting taken down/offer extended and accepted

 

It will be a great job for about 1 year until company gets bought by some big pharma. It is a shame because company culture will be wonderful, people will love working there and hen big pharma with its deep pockets and desire to replace patent cliff products will step in.

 

Does anyone know who is the NSD and how soon they may hire managers and reps. With 2 potential launches I would think they would expand a little

 

Contract Sales Force. Short term gig before they are purchased. CEO and sr exceutives will cash out big time

 

Which contract force? Quintiles, Ventiv, Publicis? Please share info. if you know. Thanks!

 

Who is new NSD

 

CT from Amgen. Search their board, how does a guy like that get another job? Good luck!

 

CT was a disaster in Amgen. He got fired from there. It was really bad.
