Data Analyst - Asia Product Vigilance Procter & Gamble - SG-Singapore-Singapore (Singapore)

Haven't been looking at jobs for a while .. here's something that caught my eye .. typically I feel that pharma jobs are more detailed and pertinent in their hiring criteria since they have a very good idea of what kind of skills they want for the person they are hiring .. it's no different here .. so not much of a surprise. The biggest surprise was that they would only consider a bachelor's degree holder only if they have 8 years of relevant experience.  Whether that's equivalent, I shall leave you to decide ..
