FIRSTMEDCOMMSJOB: MEET THE AGENCIES, 14 MAY 2018
|
This was our third one-day intensive MedComms careers workshop, which provided the opportunity for delegates with a genuine interest in joining the MedComms industry to get up close and personal with a number of leading employers. The format was designed to give delegates as much insight as possible into life in the different agencies and to be able to compare and contrast those working environments. This event was all about talking direct and in depth with the MedComms specialists about the practicalities of getting the first job and then of the working life in the agencies, so attendees were expected to have already made themselves familiar with the information provided online at www.FirstMedCommsJob.com.
DATE: 14 May 2018
VENUE: The Careers Service, 56 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 6PA
The building is towards the bottom end of the Banbury Road, only a few minutes walk from St Giles and the city centre and within easy reach of the train station. It is easily accessible from the Water Eaton Park and Ride by busses which regularly travel up and down the Banbury Road. Please note there is no parking at the venue. Short-term metered parking is available nearby or city centre car parks are not far away.
