No, they don't. The positions might not even exist. DTC marketing might be cheaper.
Keep your options open.
Are all Lilly jobs posted as FDE? What has been the long term outlook for those accepting these positions? Upcoming interview but trying to avoid dead end job.
You are trying to avoid a dead-end job, but you are applying to a pharma position? I think that you might want to reevaluate what you consider to be prudent in a "viable, long-term position."
why would they spend all this money and marketing if there are no positions open? I feel as though it would be a huge loss to the company to do this for no profit on their part
There are positions open. I know there have been a lot of positions that were posted and possibly held interviews for that were filled internallly by neuroscience reps. But, there are positions still available. I received an offer last week for the position I interviewed for and have since accepted the offer.
Talked to HR yesterday about my fde canidancy. They said I passed everything and I am moving forward to the next step of the hiring process. Whatever this is...I have no clue.
