Vault by Infobase

Worldwide, more than 2,700 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies comprise a trillion-dollar industry, with many of the top companies&#8212;and one of the largest markets for their products&#8212;based in the United States. These companies produce over-the-counter and prescription drugs, diagnostics and biologics essential to identifying and treating disease. But the stakes are high, with research and development costs sometimes running into the millions of dollars and approval by the Food and Drug Administration taking years to earn. Today challenges also come from generic drug producers and the need to make life-saving drugs available in developing nations. Still, few industries offer the opportunities found in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, where groundbreaking next-generation research and sophisticated marketing and sales efforts are essential to success. The&#160;Vault Career Guide to Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology, Third Edition&#160;provides an insider's perspective on what's happening in the industry, what it takes to break in and how to advance your career. Whether you hope to help discover a new miracle drug or simply sell one to millions of people whose lives it will improve, this guide will help you master every step of your job search. Vault Career Guides offer an industry insider's view of what it takes to land a job in your chosen profession. Each volume provides a comprehensive overview of the industry and expert advice and tips for uncovering job opportunities, networking, preparing your cover letter and resume, interviewing and keeping current on industry news and trends.
