"The Medical Affairs Europe department of Centocor BV provides medical support to internal colleagues and external customers who need to know more about Centocor's products.
This support falls into 3 major categories:
Post-marketing studies, including phase IV and investigator initiated studies, as well as registries;
Internal customer support, primarily Marketing and Sales colleagues, which takes the form of medical training and development of promotional and educational materials and
External customer support, including the Medical Information department, which handles incoming customer calls from all over Europe. And the Clinical Scientist team, which is the group of colleagues based in each country in Europe. Their main responsibility is to meet with customers for educational purposes and to answer any questions they might have.
Lastly, the department manages its extensive regulatory and compliance obligations. Such as pharmacovigilance (adverse event reporting), and healthcare and marketing compliance.
The Medical Affairs department, at 50 people, is quite large. There are two reasons:
It is responsible for handling all of Centocor's Medical Affairs activities for all of Europe an
The nature of Centocor's products, as complex biologicals, is such that they require extensive medical support.
Both of these reasons ensure that members of the department are presented with constant challenges, a diverse range of activities and growth opportunities.

"The philosophy and principles on which our policy is based are captured in the Company Credo . The third paragraph of the Credo reads: ‘We are responsible to the communities in which we live and to the world community as well. We must be good citizens, support good works and charities and bear our fair share of taxes. We must encourage civic improvements and better health and education.’
The individual Johnson & Johnson companies have their own policies in adhering to these principles. The Dutch companies have bundled their powers in the so-called Connection Program. Education and development are key to the programme, while each of the individual companies steer their own course under the same flag.
Centocor wishes to encourage the enthusiasm of young people in chemical science. In conjunction with the municipality of Leiden and the college of higher professional education Hogeschool Leiden, we are currently developing a special programme to this end.
Underscoring our commitment to the Leiden community we sponsor the Leiden marathon, and we are the main sponsors of the Rembrandt Year in Leiden. To mark our double anniversary in 2004 (25th year of existence, 20 of which established in Leiden), we adopted two rooms in the Ronald McDonald Home.
There is also a special programme for supporting projects in which Centocor staff participate on a voluntary basis. We have donated funds in recent years to various charitable causes, such as nursing homes, a football team for autistic boys, a playground, a foundation that provides horse riding for disabled persons, and a school for children with Down syndrome.
To stimulate these volunteer activities Centocor has a special policy that allows personnel in certain situations to perform volunteer work even during regular working hours. "

"Assessment Centres
The use of Assessment Centres increased during this year:
from 41 in 2003 to 82 in 2004. In the Assessment Centre
candidates take numerical and verbal intelligence tests and
personality tests for one day. In addition to these tests,
there is an in-depth interview with a selection psychologist
and there are simulation exercises - a role play, for example
- depending on the requirements of the position. The
reports are tailored to fit the Standards of Leadership. The
Assessment Centre is brought into action particularly in
situations in which we select new candidates, for example
for senior positions. Assessment Centres provide good
indications with regard to the way in which the candidate
may deal with different work situations in actual practice
The value of an Assessment Centre is that both the
employee and the manager get a good insight into the
strengths of the employee and into his/her capacities for
development. It also provides the manager with ideas on
how to offer coaching and career support to members of
their team.
Development Centres
Development Centres are Assessment Centres where the
question 'is this employee suitable for this position' is
turned around: 'what are the competencies of this employee
and what position might be suitable for a person with these
competencies?' For questions about career development
Centocor uses a (an individual) Development Centre. In
2004, 20 employees completed a DC.
Development Centre for Management Teams
As a result of the feedback from the Credo Survey
concerning management style, a Development Centre was
developed for management teams. This should provide
managers with a better insight into their preferred
management style and into the areas they should develop.
In October 2004 a pilot of this Development Centre was
organised with the BTO management team. The participants'
responses were positive. Based on their feedback the
contents of this Development Centre were further specified.
In 2005 all management teams will participate in this DC.
Development of individuals, teams and organisation
Identifying Training Needs
Since 2003 the procedure for the identification of
individual training needs for each employee and finding an
appropriate solution has been adjusted. In consultation with
their managers employees can determine what they want to
develop and start looking on the Intranet for appropriate
solutions. After that, they discuss their training needs and
the proposed solution with an officer of the Employee
Development and Training Department."

"Tried and True Methods
Just as in most job seeking environments there are tried and true methods for finding a job, a few of which we discuss here:
Get your resume out to everyone you know. Indonesia is NOT an information-based society. Information is very difficult to find. Even if the person/company you are contacting does not have a job opening, they may share knowledge of your availability with others - thus leading to additional prospects. Or, while there may not be a current need, something may come up with the company in the future, and your CV will be in their files. You never know which friend or colleague may become aware of openings in your field. Getting word out to one and all of your availability is wise.
Networking is often the key to employment. There are several effective ways in which you can network in Indonesia. 1) join a professional association for your field, 2) join a national business association, 3) pound the pavement -- attending every possible function you can and pass out your card, 4) join community organizations, sports clubs and church communities. Volunteer for everything you can find the time to do … through these volunteer activities you will meet people who may be able to steer you towards employment. Every time you meet someone who you think might be instrumental in your job search, follow up that meeting with an email, note, letter, fax or call. Inviting key people in your industry to lunch (on you) and picking their brain would also be an effective way to find out what is going on in your field.
Get a job working for a multinational in your home country … then work towards an assignment in Indonesia from inside the company,
Come to Indonesia and start learning Bahasa Indonesia on a social/visit visa. Then join the various community/professional organizations and start networking.
Post your resume on Internet job forums and bulletin boards, both in Indonesia and abroad.
Contact executive search and recruitment firms in Singapore and Hong Kong. Be advised that there is no executive search firm in Jakarta that deals exclusively with expatriates. Several big international search firms have representative offices in Jakarta, as well as several local firms. These companies get very few inquiries from their clients for expatriate searches as they deal 99% with searches for senior Indonesian managers. They may, however be willing to take your CV into their database for that one-off expat search. Finding a Job through a Jakarta Headhunter "
"The Yogyakarta Sultanate, formally the Sultanate of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, was formed in 1755 when the existing Sultanate of Mataram was divided by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in two under the Treaty of Giyanti. This treaty states that the Sultanate of Mataram was to be divided into the Sultanate of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat with Yogyakarta as the capital and Mangkubumi who became Sultan Hamengkubuwono I as its Sultan and the Sultanate of Surakarta Hadiningrat with Surakarta as the capital and Pakubuwono III who was the ruler of the Sultanate of Mataram as its Sultan. The Sultan Hamengkubuwono I spent the next 37 years building the new capital, with the Kraton as the centerpiece and the court at Surakarta as the blueprint model. By the time he died in 1792, his territory exceeded Surakarta's.
The ruler Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX (April 12, 1912 - 1988) held a degree from the Dutch Leiden University, and held for a time the largely ceremonial position of Vice-President of Indonesia, in recognition of his status, as well as Minister of Finance and Minister of Defense.
In support of Indonesia declaring independence from the Dutch and Japanese occupation, in September 5, 1945, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX of Yogya and Sri Paku Alam VIII in Yogya declared their sultanates to be part of the Republic of Indonesia. In return for this unfailing support, a law was passed in 1950, in which Yogyakarta was granted the status of province Daerah Istimewa (Special Region Province), with special status that recognizes the power of the Sultan in his own region's domestic affairs. Hence Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX was appointed as the governor for life. During the Indonesian war of independence against the Dutch after World War II (1945-1950), the capital of the newly-declared Indonesian republic was temporarily moved to Yogyakarta when the Dutch reoccupied Jakarta from January 1946 until August 1950.
The current ruler of Yogyakarta is his son, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, who holds a law degree from Universitas Gadjah Mada. Upon the elder sultan's death, the position of governor, according to the agreement with Indonesia, was to pass to his heir. However, the central government at that time insisted on an election. In 1998, Sultan Hamengkubuwono X was elected as governor by the provincial house of representatives (DPRD) of Yogyakarta, defying the will of the central government. He remains the only governor in Java without a military background: "I may be a sultan," he has been quoted in Asia Week as saying, "but is it not possible for me to also be a democrat?" [1] However, many sides have negative opinion about the position of Sultan in ruling the Special Region as governor. First, it degrades him from being the holy, infallible and revered Sultan, as governor deals with politics and social matters that may not be all things for all people. Secondly, unconsciously it will revert back to the old system of feudalism when a Sultan, without any election, is automatically appointed to hold an administrative position of power (as a governor), within the republic state system adopted by Indonesia.[neutrality disputed]

"Central Java (Indonesian: Jawa Tengah) is a province of Indonesia. The administrative capital is Semarang.
It lies on the island of Java, between the provinces of East Java and West Java. Historically and culturally, Yogyakarta is also a part of the Central Java region, but it is a separate political entity.
Some regions in Central Java such as Surakarta (Solo) and Banyumasan have their own special identity based on their history, culture and language/dialect and traditions.
The population of Central Java is 30,851,144 (2000 census), making it the third most-populous province in Indonesia.
There are many cities and towns in Central Java, such as Ambarawa, Banjar Negara, Banyumas, Batang, Blora, Boyolali, Brebes, Cilacap, Demak, Grobogan, Jepara, Kajen, Karang Anyar, Kebumen, Kendal (not to be confused with a town in England), Klaten, Kudus, Magelang, Mungkid, Pati, Pekalongan, Pemalang, Purbalingga, Purwodadi, Purwokerto, Purworejo, Rembang, Salatiga, Semarang, Slawi, Sragen, Sukoharjo, Surakarta, Tegal, Temanggung, Wonogiri, Wonosobo.

"Magelang is the capital of the 1,130 km2 Magelang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia and also the largest town in the Kedu Plain between Mount Merbabu and Mount Sumbing in Central Java, Indonesia. It is in a fertile agricultural area and one of the most densely populated regions on Java.
The city has historically been a military post, dating back to the Dutch East Indies colonial era. It subsequently acted as an army stronghold for Indonesia pro-independence movement against the Dutch government during the resistance period. Currently, it is host to two military landmarks: The National Military Academy, and the only military-associated school, Taruna Nusantara.
It is the closest major town to Borobudur, a seventh-century Buddhist monument. It is located about 40 km (25 miles) north west of Yogyakarta, on the main highway connecting that city with Java's northern coast at Semarang.
Magelang City has two borders. Its western border is Progo river; its eastern border is Elo river.
Many of the town's colonial-era buildings have become heritage landmarks, such as the Karesidenan Kedu building. Tourist attractions in the Magelang Regency include Borobudur temple, Mendut temple, and Kwarasan temple.

"Groningen pronunciation (help·info) is the northeasternmost province of the Netherlands with a typical Low Saxon dialect called Gronings (Grönnegs / Grunnegs in Gronings regional language), with local nuances. Nowadays, many inhabitants of the province do not speak the dialect, especially in the city of Groningen where many outsiders have moved.
In the east it borders the German region Niedersachsen, in the south with Drenthe, in the west with Friesland and in the north the Wadden Sea.
Land use in Groningen is mainly agricultural, it has a large natural gas field near Slochteren.
East Groningen has been the scene of a particularly fierce class struggle in the 19th and 20th century. Here was the only municipality (Beerta) where the Dutch Communist party has ever had a mayor (Hanneke Jagersma).
The capital of the province is the city of Groningen.

"Holland is a region in the central-western part of the Netherlands. Holland is a former county of the Holy Roman Empire, ruled by the Count of Holland, and later the leading member of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands (Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden, 1581–1795).
North Holland and South Holland lie along the western coast of the Netherlands.The area is today divided between two provinces of the Netherlands: North Holland (Noord-Holland) and South Holland (Zuid-Holland) that were created in 1840, and make up roughly 13% of the area of the Netherlands. A few regions that were historically Hollandic became part of other provinces as a result of reforms during the French occupation (1795-1813): Willemstad and surroundings, Biesbosch and the Land van Altena became part of North Brabant. In 1940, after the German occupation of the Netherlands, the islands of Vlieland and Terschelling went to Friesland. This was not changed back after World War II. In 1950, the island of Urk went to Overijssel (in 1986 to Flevoland). More recent territorial changes are the transfer of Oudewater, Woerden and Vianen from South Holland to the province of Utrecht, in 1970, 1989 and 2002 respectively.
Etymologically the word Holland is derived holt land ("wooded land"). A popular, but incorrect, fake etymology holds that it is derived from hol land ("hollow land"), inspired by the low-lying geography of both the Dutch and the English region (Holland, Lincolnshire).
The province of Holland was the cultural, political and economic center of the United Provinces. The greatest cities of the provinces were located within the province of Holland such as Amsterdam (capital of The Netherlands), Rotterdam, Leiden, Alkmaar, the Hague (the seat of government), Delft and Haarlem (capital of Holland). Today, together with Utrecht, this group of cities form what is called Randstad Holland. From the great port cities of Holland, Dutch merchants sailed to and from destinations all over Europe, and merchants from all over Europe gathered to trade in the warehouses of Amsterdam and other trading cities of Holland. As a result, many Europeans heard of the United Provinces first as "Holland" rather than "Republic of the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands". This tradition continues to this day.
Thus, even though it is officially incorrect, the word Holland is often used by both Dutch and foreign people to denote the entire Netherlands, possibly because "The Netherlands" ("Nederland" in Dutch) is more cumbersome. People from the other provinces of the Netherlands (such as Friesland, Groningen, North Brabant, Zeeland, etc.) are often offended when referred to as "Hollanders".
However, from 1806-1810, there did exist the Napoleonic Kingdom of Holland, which included much of the modern Netherlands."
"Europe is one of the seven traditional continents of Earth; the term continent here referring to a cultural and political distinction, rather than a physiographic one, thus leading to various perspectives about Europe's precise borders. Physically and geologically, Europe is a subcontinent or large peninsula, forming the westernmost part of Eurasia.
Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and – according to the traditional geographic definition – to the south-east by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains (in Caucasia). Europe's eastern frontier is vague, but has traditionally been given as the divide of the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea to the south-east. The Urals are considered by most to be a geographical and tectonic landmark separating Asia from Europe.
Europe is the world's second-smallest of the seven traditional continents in terms of area, covering about 10 400 000 square kilometres (4,010,000 sq mi) or 2.0% of the Earth's surface. The only continent smaller than Europe is Australia. In terms of population, it is the third-largest continent (Asia and Africa are larger) with a population of some 710,000,000, or about 11% of the world's population.
The European Union, comprising 25 member states, is the largest political and economic entity covering the European continent, with the Russian Federation being the second (excluding the portions of Russia historically considered to be in Asia).

"Amsterdam (pronunciation (help·info)), the official capital of the Netherlands, lies on the banks of two bodies of water, the IJ bay and the Amstel river. Founded in the late 12th century as a small fishing village on the banks of the Amstel, it is now the largest city in the country and its financial and cultural centre. As of April 1, 2006, the population of the city proper is 743,905; the population of the greater Amsterdam area is approximately 1.5 million.
Amsterdam has one of the largest historic city centres in Europe, dating largely from the 17th century. At this time, a series of concentric, semi-circular canals ("grachten") were dug around the old city centre. Along the canals houses and warehouses were built. The canals still define Amsterdam's layout and appearance today. Many fine houses and mansions are situated along the canals. Some of the narrow brick houses are gradually sinking because they are built on wooden piles to cope with the marshy subsoil.
Although Amsterdam is officially designated as the capital of the Netherlands, it has never been (save a brief period between 1808 and 1810), the seat of the court, government, or parliament of the Netherlands, which are all located at The Hague. Amsterdam is also not the capital of the province in which it is located, North Holland, whose capital is located at Haarlem. See capital of the Netherlands for more information.
Amsterdam is world-famous for its free-spirited liberalism and is a world leader in diversity and tolerance.
