Never fear my dear colleg

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Combination pro

e senior, here are five tips to making the best impression with your resume.

1. Maximize your experiences.
Whether you helped out at your dad’s office for the summer or planted t

ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc

ees for the local Arbor Day foundation, those experiences adds up to know-how. Think about all of the skills you used on each task and list them. Use lots of adjectives and please use the

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

ctive voice.

2. Toot your own horn.
Did you increase sales by 50% (you go girl, er guy!)? Did enrollment jump from 350 to 1,000 because of you (you are incredible!)? Did you i

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

crease the efficiency of the sundae-making procedure (so industrious, aren’t ‘cha?)? If you changed the way your company or organization did something, say so. Employers like to see initia

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

tive in potential employees, so by all means toot your own horn. Just make sure that it’s the truth. Which brings me to the next point.

3. Be honest.
It is now standard practic

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi

for employees to do a background checks on a person’s credentials, credit, and references so be sure that all of the information on your resume is accurate. Even if a background check is n

ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

Following aspects would a

t done at the time of hire, one could be done in the future and your job could be terminated if you were dishonest on your resume.

4. Make it pretty.
Okay it doesn’t have to be p

dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

etty but it does have to be neat. As a recent graduate you want to keep your resume to one page, one and a half at most (K.I.S.S. Keep It Short Sweetie). The format, how it’s arranged on t

cts are meaningful and rational?
Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
Do combin

he paper, should be easy to read. Leave plenty of white space so the eye (of your prospective employer) doesn’t get tired. Use white or ivory, executive-type paper. If you are e-mailing y

tions increase the patient compliance?
What would be the developing cost?
How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen

ur resume, keep it simple. Don’t use bullets, lines, etc. because it will more than likely not be formatted correctly in the recipient’s e-mail reader. Copy and paste the resume into the b

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

dy of the e-mail because most people are leery of opening anything with attachments because of computer viruses.

5. List your skills.
This may seem obvious, but too many times pe

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

ple only list their hard skills such as computer software or hardware knowledge. It’s good to list soft skills as well such as written and oral communications skills, initiative, organizati

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

onal skills, and being a team player. These skills are all highly sought after and they could make the difference in whether you are hired or not.
