I
have interviewed my mother about Teva and her job at Teva. I chose
to interview my Mother because she works in such a successful company
and it was an opportunity to learn about her job. My mother is
an insurance officer and her job is very responsible. She works
a full time job from 8 o'clock in the morning until evening.
Q. Can you tell me about Teva?
A. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited is a big company, which has more than 30 manufacturing sites over the world. Teva manufactures all kinds of medicines and most of its production is sold in the United States of America. Its annual turnover is about $4 billion and is the biggest Generic Company in the U.S.
Q. Can you tell me about your job at Teva?
A. I am the Global Insurance Officer of Teva. I deal with the major insurances of Teva (i.e. Product Liability and Third Party - if someone is taking medicine and something happens to him so the insurance covers, property damage and business interruption - if there is a fire so all Teva's buildings are insured also the losses are covered because we can not sell, Directors and Officers Liability - if a shareholder will sue Teva and /or its officers and directors for a wrong decision and therefore the price of the share dropped down the insurance covers it.)
There are smaller insurances mainly local that I deal with but those three are the most important ones.
