UKM And Novartis Prefer Graduates With Soft Skills And Experience.

By Vinoothene Chandrasekaran

 


You can have a successful career in the pharmaceutical or other sectors of industry without the necessary background if you are willing to learn new things and be ambitious, says Michaela Dinboeck, Managing Director of  Norvatis Corporation Malaysia.

Dinboeck said she did not have any background in medicine or pharmaceuticals but rose to her present position by dint of hard work.

“I was told that I was chosen for the job because I was complete honest on the fact I didn’t know much about medical industry yet I have the drive to know more on this field. Plus, my experience in Bolivia also contributed as it shows I have done something different and dared to take risks,” she said at the launch of the company’s second annual apprenticeship programme to train undergraduates for sales and marketing, here recently.

She stressed that the company is not necessarily looking for high scorers, but a pleasant personality and good soft skills.
