^ yup may age limit sa unilab hanggang 25 yrs old [textspeak!] but there are other companies na walang age limit


GSK, 25 y.o din ang age limit.

i'm applying for Mead Johnson, i guess more on formula milk yung hawak nila. i hope i'll be considered. Aside from the car-gas allocation, what else are the usal benefits? Do they have hmos like Intellicare/Medicard? mobile phone allocation?

P8000-11000 pa din ba ang starting basic salary sans commission? i hope i can bargain mga 18-20k since sales din background ko. and during the training ba do you get salary na by then? usually how long ba trainings? i backread and saw around 2months? ganon talaga katagal before you can go out?

Sorry ang kulit ko. :)

i just had my interview yesterday with the district manager. they'll call me daw for the next interview then 1month training.

flexi time ka daw pag med rep, reports are to be sent via email lang. and after training you'll get a car. though low yung base salary, yearly daw may increase and madaming perks like gas allowance, quarterly commission and mid-year bonus aside from the 13th month, they also have hmo benefits and i guess you can reimburse yung meals/activities with the client doctors.

i'm still hesitant, though. super toxic ba talaga and though may nababasa ako na mababa yung tingin sa ibang medreps, i'm confident naman na i can carry myself well and won't drag to the lowest limits just to sell my products. besides milk yung products ng mead johnson kaya mukhang hindi naman mahirap ibenta kasi kilala na din yung products nila. i'm just hesitant kasi baka super toxic e.:)

^sis, eto based lang sa mga nabasa and narinig ko na experiences ng mga medreps:

1. about sa oras: kaya daw sinabi na flexi-time kasi depende sa availability ng doctor, kaya nga yung iba ginagabi na daw. yung iba pa nga ang sabi on-call ka palagi kasi may ibang doctors who will ask you na ipag-drive sila.
2. about sa car: yung ibang companies nagbibigay agad after the training, yung iba hindi.
3. salary: maliit lang talaga ang basic. bawi ka lang daw sa mga commissions pag naka-quota.
4. reimbursement of expenses: meron daw talagang allowance for your activities
5. nature ng work: toxic daw talaga...sabi pa nga nung isang naging medrep sa kabilang forum, sa mga medreps daw nagsimula yung word na toxic.
6. kaya lang naman mababa ang tingin sa ibang mga medreps kasi some are crossing the line na. basta stick ka lang lagi sa responsibilities mo as medrep, but anything beyond that, huwag mo gawin just for the sake na maka-quota ka lang.

ikaw, sis, its up to you pa rin naman kung gusto mo talaga mag-pursue ng career sa pharma world, then go!  ;)

thanks os much sis. anyway, wala naman talagang madaling trabaho maybe it's just how i'll enjoy myself in it. oo nga daw, minsan gabi mo talaga ilalabas yung doctors, and may weekends pa na may events/activities that you also have to attend. i'm still praying if it's really for me. mukhang ok din naman kasi yung product is milk which my son also drinks. i'll update you all pag may news na ulit.;)

eto naman pwede ko ma-share:

1. regarding sa time: flexible kasi depende yun sa itinerary mo for the day kasi it depends sa clinic schedule ng doctor. May mga doctor na maaga ang clinic, may iba 10am pa ang start, meron naman gabi at meron iba madaling araw. Minsan sunod-sunod ang coverage na hapon na lunch mo meron naman araw na malaki ang free time. Sa una mahirap talaga pero pag kabisado mo na skeds lahat ng cover mo magiging ok din. It's true na minsan kahit weekend kelangan mo magservice (ipagdrive ang doktor) pero it's one way of building rapport with them. And sometimes it feels good pag doctor ang humingi ng request na i-service mo cia lalo na yung mga top doctors kc sa dami ng rep ikaw ang napili nia. It shows na he trust you and komportable cia syo.
2. regarding cars, salary and benefits: it varies from one pharma company to another. Meron na nagbibigay kagad ng kotse after training, meron naman 1 year na wala pa rin, meron pag naka quota ka consecutively saka ka [textspeak!] bibigyan at meron naman iba na wala talaga. In terms of compensation, i think almost the same ang starting salary sa lahat ng companies. Nagkakaiba [textspeak!] sa incentive, meron iba dyan na monthly [textspeak!], meron naman monthly, quarterly tapos per product pa. Iba-iba talaga pero sabi nga nila maliit or malaki man daw ang sweldo mo, nasa sayo yan how you'll manage your money. Benefits, i think lahat naman meron health card and insurance. Yung iba [textspeak!] meron rice ratio, bonuses aside sa 13th month etc.
3. nature of work: toxic means stressful pero i believe naman na kahit anong klase ng work meron talagang stress. Its how you handle stress or katoxican. Pwede ka matoxic sa doktor, sa boss at mga counterparts mo, sa mga activities, sa mga paperworks and lalong-lalo na sa benta. Pero di naman sa araw-araw toxic meron [textspeak!] talagang mga araw na physical, mentally or emotionally nakaka-drain. Sa lahat naman siguro ng trabaho pwede mo maramdaman yun.
4. image ng rep: i think it depends how you carry and present your self. It maybe true na meron mga rep who crosses the boundary but mas maraming rep ang matino. Every person has his/her own limitations. You know what is right and what can go wrong.

Being a rep is hard but at the same time its rewarding. Rewarding not just because of the money but because of the experience. It you're a people-person and has a lot of PATIENCE then most likely you'll survive.  :D  ;)  :D

Zuellig phara is a drug distributor, not a pharmaceutical company. What they have are sales rep. Sila directly nkikipag deal sa mga drugstores for the orders etc.

Go for Multinational companies. :) Good Luck guys, kaya nyo yan, research on your preferred company and look at their products para may bacckground kayo. Being a medrep is fun and exciting, pero mahirap din. well lahat naman mahirap tlaga. as for me, mas malaki sweldo ko now kung icocompare ko sa ibang trbaho na pang office. :) with car and gas allowance pa and daily food allowance :D so kung icocompute mo, marami kang masesave kung di ka gastadora :D
