Round 1- Initial phone call. Ask about your interests - behavioural questions about strengths, weaknesses, tell me a time when you worked as a team/ against a deadline/ overcame a challenge. Then moved onto general pharma climate, describe me the lifecycle of a drug, name some of the biggest players in the market etc. If you genuinely have a life sciences background, none of it will be difficult. Round 2- They send you, via email, 6-8 articles about a particular drug, and then within 90 minutes want you to read it and compose a 400 word report which describes the challenges it is facing and how you could go about addressing them before emailing it back to a company representative. It is ambiguous in how it should be answered, asking you to comment on a variety of matters which is not conducive to a succinct business report. Anyway, read the fierce pharma website. Read opinion pieces and learn how they are composed. , The test is not excel based - it's written.
