Layoffs at Siemens and Abbott Labs (again…)
News from the Wall Street Journal Health Blog: Abbott Laboratories recently announced plans to close a manufacturing plant in California and cut 1000 jobs. Many major companies (Merck, Wyeth, Bristol-Meyers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, and Amgen) have also announced job cuts in recent months. Siemens, in fact, announced in June plans to lay off 17,000 workers worldwide, which could be a sign of the times, according to Cliff Mintz at BioJob Blog.
Pharmaceutical sales positions tend to be the most unstable and tied to the economy (and have gone through their own round of job losses lately), but many of these job cuts are related to diagnostics. How secure does it feel at your company?
If you are experiencing this type of instability, check out niche companies within a market. There are many, many areas of medical and healthcare sales, management, and marketing to specialize in: biotech, DNA, molecular, cellular, medical device, surgical supplies, surgical equipment, hospital equipment, histology, pathology, and imaging, to name a few.
Best bet: contact PHC Consulting.
