As we know, pharmacovigilance is a very fastest-growing field nowadays. And in COVID-19 situations the work behind this domain has increased.
As each and every pharmaceutical company is trying to find the vaccines and medication on coronavirus. By considering this point the work on the pharmacovigilance department is drastically increased and in upcoming days it will increase continuously for a few months.
Due to these heavy workload situations, pharmaceutical companies, as well as service provider companies, will hire more candidates from a life science background.
However, such companies are hiring from walk-in-interview. But due to Covid-19 and lockdown situations, the hiring trend had been also changed.
Corporate companies are currently hiring through telephonic or videocall interview. This is really a life-changing process for jobseekers. Because, when initially the walk-in interview was arranged, many candidates were applying or attending such a walk-in interview and which will take a whole day for jobseekers to complete all the rounds. And sometimes Human resources (HR) ask candidates to come on the next day to attend the remaining round if they were selected.

In this round, one of my friends was asked to tell the story of the rabbit and tortoise in English. When I attended the interview that time HR asked me to choose the one chit from a glass bowl. And from that chit, I had to discuss the topic.

This is a technical round. Here, a technical person will ask you the question related to your domain. You have to be very confident and have to answer the questions.
