Being a product specialist~

Being a product specialist...

I was given stacks of notes where they have timetable for my classes from morning to evening. Then after each module there will be an exam to test your understanding. The passing mark is HD level, meaning that you must have a minimum of 80% to pass the exam. If you fail more than twice, then the 3rd time you will receive a termination letter from the company. Meaning that you are now free to go. Wow...

*If the Roche logo is not there, I would easily thought this is a normal class timetable... @@*

*Module 1 and 2, followed by cancer A-Z and product training... @"@*

Well, the first 2 modules so far were not that hard as I have learned most of them in uni, but the hardest part has yet to come. Today is the first day of product training, where for the following week, the medical team people will train me on oncology (the study of cancer), covering from head to toe, meaning from the biology of cancer, to cancer management, to different type of cancers and its mechanism of actions, the possible treatments available, monoclonal antibodies, and lastly... my ONCO-PRODUCT, which I am required to read all the clinical papers and trials, product information and many many more. @@"

Well, let say I pass the product training exam successfully, then the next training will be marketing training, where they will train us on different types of marketing strategies, the recent market position of your products, players in the market and many many more. And that is followed by another exam as well.

Once I am done with all these, then I have to go for a computer-monitoring system training, where the IT specialists will train us on how to use the self-management software to record our daily activities and how to communicate via the sophisticated programs.

All of these are BEFORE I go into field work.

I thought I am working as a sales rep? But seems like I am going back to uni huh... @@" But well, no complain la, everything start from ground... =P

P/S: Sleep deprive. I slept 3 hours yesterday to prepare for the exam today. Hope I pass.
