i passed the initial screening and exam!  ;D

sharing my experience this morning.... enjoy reading, hehe

Muntik pako ma-late... as in saktong 10am ako nakarating sa GSK office then sakto din na kakapapasok lang ng guard sa lahat ng applicants, sabi ng friend ko who's now a med rep at GSK eh ayaw nila ng late comers so hinabol ko talaga yung line ng applicants na naglalakad papasok ng function room.

pagkaupo namin, ms. eden asked for our resume and tor. i think 30 plus yung batch namin this morning.  then asked us if there's anyone who already applied before or if may relative working sa GSK. She made a point na di pwede mag re-apply & di pwede may relatives sa company. kahit daw nagte-training na then nag-stop eh hindi na ulet pwede bumalik. Naisip ko nga, grabe higpit nila.. no second chance. Then she also asked us if we're all willing to be assigned anywhere in the philippines, kung hindi raw eh pwede na umuwi.

Anyway, after that eh one-by-one, we made a self-introduction. Lahat sila after magsalita eh may question si ms.eden like, "why do you wanna be a med rep? why should we hire you? why do you wanna work in GSK? , etc." Ako lang ata hindi niya tinanong after mag self-intro. siguro because i've already justified why i want to change a career.

before the exam, may 5-minute break for those people na gusto mag-cr.  ;)

then the exam is just for 12 minutes.. but it's 50 items and man, puro problem solving! then some english proficiency questions. As in short yung oras.. so nung 2 minutes left na lang, pinaghuhulaan ko na lang yung sagot! hehe..

after the exam, we've had a 20-minute break. She just checked the papers then pagbalik niya eh tinawag na yung names ng mga nakapasa and we we're sent to another function room.

11 na lang kami natira... mostly mga nursing grad pero yung iba wala pang work experience then yung iba eh just like me, walang related na work experience. i advise na pabibo kayo dun sa self-introduction para ma-impress siya.

... so we were in the room na... wala pa 5 minutes na nag-stay kami dun sa room eh pumasok na si ms. eden then nanakot pa. She said, "Sorry guys but you failed... "    so kaming 11 eh napatulala lahat! then she said, "you all failed to fail the test!" then she smiled.  ;D

she then handed us a small piece of paper with congratulatory message and it has the link for the online assessment. Since the training is set to start on October 22, she told us to finish the online exam today before 9pm. at first 6pm nga lang eh pero yung ibang nakapasa eh uuwi pa ng tarlac & bulacan so she extended it until 9pm. She told us that we will receive a text on monday daw, she'll let us know if we passed or failed. After that eh expect to have 3 interviews... meron daw interview with the regional manager, district manager and panel ata yung isa.

Before siya umalis eh she gave us a form. 1st page is like a resume lang then yung 2nd page eh may pinasagutan saming essay. 5 items ata yun.

anyway, i've submitted my online assessment before 6PM so here comes the waiting game. Hopefully makapasa and maka-receive ng nice text message on Monday  ;)

^answer the personality exam with a yes or a No. DOnt answer Maybe, or not sure kasi they want to gauge your decisiveness. parang yun yung sinabi sa amin before :) mga sagot ko yata dun, loves meeting new people etc. basta may mga choices naman. wag kayo kabahan. pag para sa inyo pra sa inyo yan. swerte nga massive hiring ngayon, nag stop hiring kasi for awhile. Good Luck! Pray and claim it :)

Sis! Did you have your interview with the regional managers? How was it compared to district managers? Which is easier? May ganun daw kasi kami. Is there a probability na matanggal pa din if you reach na yung regional managers? Ano mga tinatanung nila? Thanks sis! God bless always!

Dun sa online assessment na sinagutan ko eh there's no yes or no or maybe. I just have to rank the choices according to my preferences.

By the way, i've had my panel interview this morning. 2 district managers from derma team yung nag-interview sakin. Grabe, 50 minutes nila ko kinausap.

Then kanina around 6pm eh i received a call ;)
I passed the interview and i'll have my next interview on thursday at 4pm with the regional manager daw.

i used to be a Pfizer rep for over 5 yrs ( super proud to be 1  ;) )

back then i started at 7k net - with an annual increment of 2500-4k, depending on the CBA agreement. + car and food allowance. for a newly grad like me at that time - dream job talaga sya. my salary were just for my luho. unlike other career dun pa manggagaling food and fare mo.

when it comes to relocation - if there is a vacancy wherever city/hometown you want to be yun naman ang priority nila sayo. unless otherwise somebody requested for that place ahead of you - siempre seniority pa din. but me and so as the rest of my counterparts we are all from that city talaga. it is for the companys advantage to assign people where they think they will stay for good or for a long time. and usually sa hometown naman.

go for multi company - u will never be alone.. ;D.. u will know what i mean once u are there.

Sis! Mahirap ba makapasok sa Pfizer? I want to apply kasi sana. Panu ba process nila? Wala pa ko experience as med rep. Thanks sis! :)

GSK experience

We all know naman na GSK is one of the best pharmaceutical companies to apply for so expect na mahirap talaga makapasok and as they say nga, "salang-sala" ang mga applicants dito. I think, hundreds of aspiring med rep and nagaapply sa GSK and sobrang konti lang ang nakukuha and you only have one chance because there is no reapplication. :) don't know lang with other big multinational companies like Pfizer, Novartis etc. kung ganoon din. So if given the opportunity, grab it! ;)

Initial screening
Andami dami naming nag-apply like nasa 40-50 ata kami nun. We took the 12-min exam. General IQ naman sya so I think no need to review. :) after is ichcheck yun ng HR then from 40-50 parang 8 or 10 lang kaming nakapasa. May interview din pala with HR after. :) So as you can see, initial screening pa lang, dami na lalaglag. So pag nakapasa ka sa screening, be proud na. Achievement na din yun. hehe.

Panel Interview
Dito is interview with two or three district managers. Meron sa umaga, meron sa hapon. Basta you passed. So ayun, ang tanung naman nial is about sa work mo kaya no need to worry kase you will be able to answer it naman basta ang mahalaga is you satisfy the interviewers with your answer. :) Medyo pipigain ka din. So may mga bumabagsak din dito. :(

Regional manager 1
Like interview din nung Panel medyo mas strict and intimidating lang kasi regional manager sila eh matataas na and mas serious. Poker face nga kumbaga. Haha! Pero depende din kung san ka mapuntang interviewer. Mas objective na questions nila and bawat sagot mo, kukuha sila ng tanung dun. Take note! Medyo marami nabagsak dito :'(

Regional Manager 2
If you passed the interview with Regional Manager 1, eto na. Final na! :) Well katulad din ng Regional Manager 1. Pero different day at eto ang level na pag bumagsak ka pa, sobrang sakit. Final na ito. I heard na dun sa isang batch, may bumagsak pa rin. :( 2 out of 3 pumasa. Ayun. :( Lesson is don't be confident. Others think na for formality na lang ito but I'm telling you, NOT! So do your best pa rin :)

Then ayun after nun, job offer na. :) Ready for training na. Ang alam ko bihira lang bumabagsak sa training nila kase nga kumbaga sa ibang companies, madali makapasok pero marami bumabagsak sa training. Sa GSK kase, they would look na for the best applicants. Salang sala ka na so if you passed all, ibig sabihin, qualified na qualified ka na and magaling ka talaga. Kahit sang level ka nakaabot, be proud kase GSK is GSK. Mahirap talaga pero after, worth it naman :) Benefits and all.

Ayun so madami kang hirap na pagdadaanan pero if worth it naman diba. When you passed. :)

Ayan sana makatulong mga sis :)

Hi mga sis!

hi girls, umabot ako until interview with the regional manager at GSK. masyadong maselan yung manager. Di pako nakakaupo eh napansin na kagad ash blonde hairs ko. Pa-color ko raw ng black.
anyway, start na ng training nung Monday and true, may bumabagsak pa rin sa training. 1.5 months ang training. May allowance naman pero after the training pa makukuha.
