    Of all the questions you'll be asked, personal and family ones appear to be the most "statistical." For this reason, most jobseekers answer them in a "static" way, with "name, rank, and serial number." They're also often emotionally charged, since interviewers ask about personal perils, family feuds, and status symbols. Therefore, rehearsing your lines
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    is particularly important, since what you say is as important as what you convey.

    While most of the questions in this area have only marginal value in determining your qualifications to perform a specific job, you must get past them so you can get down to business with the interviewer. That's why they're called KO factors. Wrong answers will knock you

    Examples of combination products may in

Personal and family items are invariably at the top of resumes, on the front of application forms, and at the beginning of interview checklists. Since these are the "cue cards" used in the actual interview, expect the questions in Act 1, Round 1.

    1.) Smile. If you can't fake it, just think about how lucky the interviewer is to be meeting you.

    2.) Direct eye contact. If it's too much for you, look at the bridge of the interviewer's nose.

    3.) Introduce yourself. Say, "Hi, I'm (first name)
    d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

    25) How do you see yourself fitting in our organization?

    As previously mentioned most interviewers have little or no originality in their Interview skills and procedures.

    All they generally do is copy the standard questions that have been commonly asked.

    Little originality if at all.

    The trick is to plan and anticipate your answers to
    dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

    Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
    Which combination prod
    he se "vital" questions in order that you past muster in order to get the job and income involved.

    Standard practice is to have 3 interviews

    1) Interview one is the first step - basic screening

    2) Interview 2 is a bit more serious

    - You have passed step one

    - If they are thorough they may have called your references

    3) Interview 3 is usually by a
    cts are meaningful and rational?
    Which therapeutic categories to select?
    Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
    Do combin
    team or another member of the “team"

    A more senior person or even just another person in the organization will interview you.

    Although the reason for this will be claimed to be to add in additional expertise and experience into this vital hiring procedure the real reason is to spread the responsibility so that no one person can be blamed if “you don'
    tions increase the patient compliance?
    What would be the developing cost?
    How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen
    work out ".

    Remember none of these questions need be answered by you. However you take the risk of offending the interviewer (and their interview skills and thus ending your chances for employment and income from that firm). Note that a number of the questions may be totally incongruous , that is inconsistent and incompatible.

    Best not to laugh.
    t?

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

    For example the interviewer may ask if you are a self starter, take responsibility and make your own decisions and then ask leading questions To ask if find out if you are the type that always follows company procedure without question.

    Or they may ask questions to verify that you always consider the company's needs and wants as most important and th
    ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

    Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust
    n ask questions to verify that “That a customer should never question the company's policy on returns or extended warranties".

    When the interviewer goes to great length to explain that the company has a great focus for “ team players” it is not a good idea to point out that being a “ team player “ is not always a good thing. That the interview que
    y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products
    stions have focused on identifying you as a “ self starter who takes charge”. And besides that it is true that the Sept 11 hijackers were “ good Team Players”.

    Lastly two points

    - One very intelligent manager's hiring guideline was that when he took out a serious candidate to lunch he watched if the candidate salted his soup before tasting it.

    The m
    .

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de
    nager wanted people in his organization who checked things out before jumping to act.

    If you get an interviewer who asks original thought provoking questions in your interview take quick note.

    For example if the manager asks a question such as “It is 4:55 pm. A customer is considering buying an expensive item which the store has had on hand for some
    elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip
    time and has not sold. The customer is very interested in this item. Has phoned their spouse for their ok. The phone call is going to be returned for approval at 5:15. What do you do?”

    Take note - this is a very smart person in an organization which may well be very good to work for.
