@ mkshah, let me put it this way.bcos ur degrees are older than 5yrs, u stand d risk of getting zero for ur educatn & AOT which is abt 22pts.now if this shld happen, there ll b no way to remedy ur situatn. Not even a C2 French result ll do that!!! The only remedy is that u are able to proof dat u av at least 1yr experience in these fields within d last 5yrs . But i really am suprisd hearin u say dat d pharma sales job is nt relatd to chemstry. Are u nt aware of TECHNICAL sales? Do u nt knw dat ur employers at d pharma job did so cos of ur knowlege of chmstry or u think it was a mistake? Do u not knw dat drugs are fine chemicals? Must all chemist work directly wit raw xcals? Havent u seen sales job in québec dat only chemist, biochemist etc dat can apply? D BiQ Guys shld b d ones telling u dat d pharma sales job is nt relatd yl u shld b d one proving to them dat it's related. But look at what we've got. U are now siding with them so who is gonna rescue you? U need a paradigm shift, meet ur 4ma employers u need a letter 4rm them which ll clearly state dat d post u occupied was one dat requires ur knowlege of xtry although human relatn skills are also involvd. Go online for a Healthcare/pharmaceutical job search in canada/ Quebéc & u ll c numerous sales positn dat are open only to chemists,biochemist etc. I also am a chemist withsales experience in Agrochemicals for a brief period thoug.i av nt been 2d lab for a while now but i av proven my case & Csq is my evidence. My main tasj was to laise wit regulatory agencies to ensure dat our xcal pdts are environmentaly safe. I only deal with technical files,documentatn & travellin, wit jaw braking xcal compoumds on paper at least u stil dealt wit physical xcals. To make matters worse for me,my employers rfused giving me descriptn of task letter cos dey felt i was gonna leave them.so i just applied with my employmnt letter, payslips,& confirmatn of appointmnt letters but i also included a cover letter where i explaind what i av done . So my friend it depends on u.
