This friday I am going to Hamilton for a bussiness meeting:)I am not sure how it will go but I hope I learn about the people in that company. The interview with the bussiness analyst was interesting..but ofcourse I don't have that background, so I won't be suprized if I won't get the jon, but within the interview, I learned about engineering companies in pharmaceutics..which seemed exciting. The interesting thing about marketing in pharma is that it is very different than any other industry, you don't really need to work hard due to two reasons, one because the good drugs sell themselves and you don't really need to advertise for them and second is that if you discover a certain active ingredient then you will have at least 10 years to make profit when you patent it since no one can use that active ingredient.ofcourse the patent time is usually 20 years but because it takes 10 years to finish clinical study on certain drugs and it has to go through channels of health canada, FDA and other health organizations, it might take more time and hence less profit;)anyways it was an interesting conversation.I am going to see how the interview for the other job goes..I think that one is more relevent to my skills but I hounestly don't have supervisory experience!!!!!!!
