How to Make Sure Your Meetings Programme Is ABPI Compliant
Meetings held and organised by Pharmaceutical companies are an essential way of communicating and evolving scientific research, clinical development and medical education. However, there is always the danger that they can be seen as a blatant attempt to railroad Health Care Professionals into prescribing products by using lavish surroundings and hospitality to influence them.This is where the ABPI 2006 code of practice comes into its own, specifically clause 19 which deals with the arrangement and holding of HCP meetings within the Pharmaceutical industry. The key requirement being that the main purpose of the meeting should be its content and any hospitality offered during these meetings should not only be secondary but in fact no more than basic subsistence.How can we work out what would and would not be acceptable? In answering this question, you would need to consider all aspects of the meeting from the venue, timings, hospitality, content (including speakers) and all associated materials ie handouts, stand material and invitations and equally as important, the costs. All of these elements factor in how the end product, the meeting, will be perceived. This is how it would be deemed acceptable or not, the o

Medical Billing For Critical Illness
It is highly probable that every person would suffer some form of critical illness at one point or other. Would you have enough money to cover lost income and pay for medical billing and other related rehabilitation costs? The general high cost of healthcare is another important factor.It has often been said that with current advanced medical technology, people are expected to live longer. So, to sustain oneself and pay for medical billing, critical illness insurance is necessary.Many people are now surviving the ravages of a dreaded disease, but in the process of seeking treatment, the medical billing leaves them financially ruined. This would be a double blow to the family and dependants. Not only is the breadwinner unable to earn an income for the family, his illness and medical billing become a burden.The coverage for critical illness is available in a basic life policy that includes critical illness and disability. When the policyholder dies, become permanently disabled or suffers from critical illness, the policy will pay and the contract is performed.Insurance companies may have their own names for the different types of critical illness riders, so policyholders need to look at the t

How To Bulletproof Your Career!
In the not-too-distant past, ascending the corporate ladder assured management professionals of a bigger office, a stronger compensation package and a more secure future. But today, executives are being told: Don’t get too comfortable in that corner office, and don’t buy that fancy new car or boat you’ve always dreamed of – because your job is just as vulnerable as everyone else’s. Evidence suggests that the higher up the ladder you go, the more precarious your position may become! The attitude toward executives and the roles they play within companies have drastically changed in recent years. I’ve seen executives who have been with the same company for 20 or more years. They’ve worked their way up the corporate ladder and felt that they had proven their value – then they were unceremoniously dismissed from their positions as if they had just been hired as an entry-level worker. As a Career Consultant, it’s my job to re-instill the client’s confidence, identify his or her strengths, and “re-package” that individual for the current job market. But, to navigate effectively through the career transition process and ultimately make your career bulletproof, you must first be informed about what’s really going on in the work-worl

Now, if despite that knowledge, you still think that advertising is a good place of employment, then read on to get a better idea of how the advertising world works.Basically, advertising serves the function of promoting goods and services through the mass media, which includes television, radio and print, mainly newspapers and magazines. Advertising also uses other non-traditional media to do its work such as outdoor advertising and through organizing special promotional events.

Making the Most of a Job Fair
Before the Job Fair:Find out what businesses will be there. The more information you can gather beforehand, the more successful the job fair is going to be for you. Find out what businesses are going to be at the job fair, and spend some time doing some research about them. What types of jobs do they have? What kind of people are they looking for? What kinds of skills do these people need to have? Shortlist the organisations you want to talk with.Decide on your objective. Are you going with a specific aim or just to mooch around? Once you are clear on why you are going it will help with preparation, both mentally and how you present yourself.Develop some questions you'd like to ask employers. Narrow down your list of businesses to include those who have jobs you are interested in, or are businesses you think you might like to work for. Then list some questions you would like to ask the company representative at the job fair.Proofread your CV - at least twice. If you don't already have one, it is a good idea to put a CV together for a job fair. It gives employers a blueprint of your skills and something tangible to remember

What Sells - Logic or Emotion
Have you ever taken part in that debate? The one where someone tries to prove that some product in their home was purchased for purely logical reasons, with no emotion involved?They never can win. Even a kleenex becomes emotional when you can't find one. The same applies to choosing which brand to buy of all the choices available for most products. You choose the brand that makes you feel the best, even if it means choosing a specific brand of canned peas because once upon a time your Mother told you that to serve less meant feeding your family sub standard meals.How does that apply to you as a marketer... or as an individual selling a used car or the snowsuit your child outgrew?It means your first job is to show people how good they'll feel when they buy what you offer. Never mind the features, go first for the feelings. The features come later, as logical proof that they've made the right choice. You might start your snowsuit ad with a verbal picture of a child staying warm and dry. The used car might be a big gas guzzler... but focus on how good it will feel when everyone can stretch out their legs... and how convenient it will be to take everyone in the same car on your

Avoid this landmine by taking the necessary time and making sure you have reviewed and attached the correct file(s) to the correct email. One sure way to blow up your job search is to get in a hurry and mistakenly send the right email to the wrong person or the wrong email to the right person. Do not send ANY job search-related emails from your current place of work. Send all such email outside of work. Take the necessary time to make sure the right email is going to the right person, THEN hit the send button.

Landmine #2: Having potential employers call you at your current workplace
