Abbott Labs just announced 1900 layoffs. Now more reps to compete with!

you need to LOOK outside the industry "box" ! This industry no longer exists as we once knew it. There are tons of jobs out there, good paying just different than pharma. Take off your blinders and look at what IS available. You Won't be disappointed!
 




I agree! I am always amazed at the lack of ambition and creativity in pharma reps, past and present. Most of you feel that you should just trade one business card for another--why not look outside your pitiful little world. This industry is dying, one would hope that all of us have been networking while doing sample drops and catering, and if so you should have no problem finding something to do. Of course the job market is slow, but for heavens sake, grow up. The reps I know that were downsized and had a little ambition have all found something new, most not in this deadend industry
 




I was just laid off from Novartis and thinking about going back to pharma but very hesitant.
what kind of jobs did your friends find ?? Any tips would be greatly appreciated
 




Stock Market Anaylists, Real Estate, Hospital work, HMO's, Direct sales, Biotech, Devices. If you have worked your life in conjunction with your job you would not be caught in a frenzy!
 




what great advice from someone who's really read up on the job opportunities..."stock market analyst and real estate broker..." no. 1 and no. 2 jobs on his list...wow what winning and growing areas those two areas are...!
 








Actually, this is a prime time to be a stock analysist. My husband works for a major firm and with the growth in international funds he is kicking fanny!!! I will quit this loser company in a month when we move. I just thought of something, someone will have to sell our houses!!
