CIBA VISION OPENINGS!!!

I have 8 years pharma experience---REJECTED. After reading this thread of messages, I suspected that was one of the reasons I didn't hired either. Additionally, My base is already $70k. Perhaps that was another reason I didn't get an offer. Oh well, trying not to take it personally. It just wasn't meant to be.

Congratulations and good luck to everyone who did receive an offer!
 






I have a phone interview next week with CIBA Vison for an open territory position can anybody give me some insight on the interview questions they are going to ask. I think the interview is with the RIGHT THING, INC. Is it the whole STAR method of behavioral questions? Any specific questions that anybody can remember would be appreciated. Thanks! I'm Nervous!
 






Hey loser; go prepare for the interview yourself. If you are coming to cafeph to get interview questions do us all a favor and do not bother to interview. You will join the rest of these losers on here that are bitching about not getting the job. Do I like did and do hour research and do not expect a handout,btw I will be staring my new job with ciba tomorrow.

Tell me about a SPECIFIC time when ........ happened and what did you do to overcome this. You'll get about 10 questions like that and the next day, you'll be asked to get your ass ina plane and go to a cattle call interview. Good luck and enjoy the night in NC or wherever they will send you for a fun filled 24 hours.

your base salary is not high vs what what i personally received--that is one reason you can completely rule out.

perhaps something to think about.... all of you with your many years of experience and some even with opth exp..... did you CLOSE on each and every intv and role play?

So you are saying they offered you over $70,000 base.....I find that a little hard to believe.
 










































I dont think is true. I was told that if you had over 5 years of Pharma experience youd be eliminated. I was told this during my last interview (the 3rd). Unless you are already a Novartis rep I think you are not being honest.

If that is true (which I highly doubt it is) why would they spend the $ to send out to LA highly experienced candidates with over 5 years of pharma as you put it!?
 










































Ciba is a great Company just poor management. These new jobs probably won't last 24 months. Way over staff. Almost four years ago they did a cut back and layed off some great sales people.

I would keep looking.
