The pharmaceutical industry is hot, but the requirements are also very high.
There is not a large market for high-tech talents in the province, and special job fairs are often held by a single enterprise. However, last Saturday's first job fair for public welfare medical biological talents attracted more than 40 enterprises, and the applicants were almost jostled. More than 40 biomedical enterprises are looking for talents with nearly 1 000 positions, such as deputy general manager, synthetic laboratory technician, product research and development, clinical inspection, etc. China is the fastest growing pharmaceutical market in the world. It is estimated that by 20 10, the sales will reach 60 billion dollars, which makes the fresh graduates who haven't found a job happy.
A fresh graduate majoring in pharmaceutical engineering at Taiyuan University of Technology in Shanxi Province is a little nervous when writing and reciting English words. There are two boys sitting next to her, both classmates and Zhejiang people, who want to go back to work in Hangzhou after graduation.
"A pharmaceutical company gave me an interview opportunity to be a pharmaceutical sales representative, but my ideal position is drug inspection, which requires high technology." Jamlom, a male student, said that almost all the students signed this year. Because they are going back to Zhejiang for development, the three of them are the only ones in the class who haven't found jobs yet.
When Jamlom filled out his resume and prepared to apply, he secretly told reporters a job-hunting skill: "First, find a few units that are not particularly interested in internship, and then apply for a company that you like." But soon they were unhappy, because it was not so easy to find a good job.
Interlaced like a mountain, it is difficult to be a medical representative!
If you can't find a job that matches your major, many people will turn to sales. They think that selling is selling things, and the professional requirements are not high. But it's hard to be a pharmaceutical sales representative!
"I have been doing drug experiments in the laboratory when I was a graduate student, but I think it is still suitable for sales." Xiaojun, a recent master, said with a smile that although he has a postgraduate degree, the company values experience more.
Zhang Huaping, deputy manager of human resources department of Xinghui Tian Li (Hangzhou) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., told reporters that they need talents with professional counterparts and years of experience in drug sales, especially those who can work independently. "Most of the applicants today are fresh graduates, and there are very few talents who meet our requirements."
"A medium-sized pharmaceutical company may have only 50 people in charge of the company's daily operations, and more than 200 others are doing sales." Teacher Chen, who has been engaged in the pharmaceutical industry 18 years, said, "Many foreign hospitals have settled in China. After the new round of medical reform, the demand for drugs in community hospitals has increased, requiring more pharmaceutical sales staff."
Although there is a shortage of sales staff, we still need professional counterparts and sales experience. Yu Qi, manager of human resources department of Hangzhou Jiuyuan Genetic Engineering Co., Ltd. said, "Sometimes doctors will call you and ask you why you have such a reaction after taking this medicine. The major is wrong, you can't answer it! "
A boy majoring in foreign trade English was also applying for a sales position, but was rejected by the interviewer. "Interlaced like the hills, young man. Your major is wrong and you have no experience. I think you should go to the marketing department to exercise for a while and come back! "
Tips:
The sales position in the biomedical industry is very challenging, and the professional requirements are generally harsh. At the same time, with the rise of the position of medical representative, the threshold will also rise. Sales managers usually need to graduate from medical college, have more than 2 years of medical sales management experience and have certain customer resources.
R&D talents are scarce, and enterprises shout "thirst"
A woman is looking for a company with her husband's resume. Because her husband is doing research and development in a pharmaceutical company in Shanghai and she works in Hangzhou, she wants to find a company in Hangzhou for her husband. Although my husband himself didn't come, many companies were tempted to read his resume. Several companies invited him for an interview. One company even said that he would come to work next week.
With the expansion of industrial scale, many biomedical enterprises not only process drugs and sell products, but also start to set up research and development institutions. As a leading figure in the research and development, manufacturing and pharmaceutical analysis of Chinese and western medicines, he has always been regarded as a "sophisticated" talent and has been favored by the industry. However, due to the relatively weak R&D talents in the domestic pharmaceutical industry, the demand for such talents is the most urgent.
Mr. Chen, who has worked in a pharmaceutical company in Ningbo for 15 years, said: "Many small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies have always ignored R&D and just copied some drugs whose patents are about to expire in Europe and America for profit, but this is not a long-term solution. Therefore, with the development of the pharmaceutical industry, they have also begun to work hard on new product research and development, so such talents are very scarce. "
"We are going to recruit 5~ 10 R&D personnel. Last year, we just introduced a postdoctoral fellow, which enhanced the scientific research strength of the enterprise and made us more competitive." Yu Qi, human resources manager of Hangzhou Jiuyuan Genetic Engineering Co., Ltd. said, "Although it is difficult to recruit R&D backbones, we recruit a group of R&D assistants every year and then train them into R&D backbones."
Tips:
R&D personnel in pharmaceutical and biological industries not only require professional background, but also pay more attention to qualifications and accumulation. Graduates' practical operation ability is low, so it is difficult to become research assistants immediately after entering the laboratory. But it also shows that as long as they can stand their temper and accumulate for a few more years, they will have better treatment and status.
Few people care about "health consultants"
People pay more and more attention to their health, so there is a special shortage of health consultants now. In fact, a health consultant is to help customers establish healthy living habits and adjust their health according to the company's products, customers' physical condition and diet.
Chen Hongmei, human resources manager of Zhejiang Zhai Yigou Shopping Co., Ltd. told the reporter: "We plan to recruit 40 health consultants by the end of this month. It seems a bit difficult now. Now only three suitable talents have been recruited. "
"In fact, we need fresh graduates more, but many graduates with professional counterparts either go to hospitals or pharmaceutical companies, and rarely want to be health consultants." Chen Hongmei said helplessly.
Since 2007, the country has continuously raised the requirements for drug quality, so drug quality is also very critical for enterprises.
For the emerging position of "health consultant", Xiao Liu, who just graduated this year, feels that "there is no prospect". "Now the demand for our professional positions is still very large, so it will not be considered for the time being."
Tips:
The demand for medical professionals is almost two worlds. Freshmen are often rejected because they are inexperienced, while experienced people are robbed because of the large demand for jobs. Therefore, if there is a position that is willing to admit fresh graduates, seize the opportunity, because in this industry, experience is a ladder.
