hey guys ECR G here back with another video today
we're gonna be talking about why clinical research is so hot right now
it is blazing hot right now and actually I think it's actually gonna get even
hotter but it is getting hot we are at the start of a boom now as you guys know
from previous videos I've talked how 2017 was a down year for clinical
research and a down year for clinical research is nowhere near a down year for
other industries like a down year for other industries would mean like no new
jobs there were still jobs being posted in 2017 you could have the plenty of
clinical research coordinator positions a number of clinical trial assistant
positions even some project coordinator positions I've seen project specialist
positions I've seen in 2017 so a down year for Clinical Research is not a down
year for other industries you can still get a job in a down year but it was
nowhere near the type of year that were used to seeing in clinical research
especially with a record number of clinical trials being conducted in 2017
we're seeing even more record numbers in 2018 so make sure that you are going
balls to the wall trying to get in sending your applications to everywhere
every CRO every site that you can because this is the year for you to get
a job in clinical research now if you would like your resume reviewed to give
you the best chance email us that elite clinical group at gmail.com that is
something that we do offer we have helped a number of people and you can
watch our resume review videos to see kind of our process but obviously the
personal one-on-one session is going to be a little bit more in-depth than what
is shown on YouTube but that is something if you are interested in
please do not hesitate to reach out at elite clinical group at gmail.com so
without further ado we're gonna go ahead and jump into my favorite site
indeed.com and I'm just gonna I'm gonna show you
how hot the industry is right now and this isn't even the half of it I
think you would be able to see it's even hotter on LinkedIn but I'm gonna show
you so first thing I always put in this clinical research associate and the
reason why I do that is because a lot of jobs pop up for that not just CRA jobs
you've got in how CRA as we can see already right here so typically these
sponsored links are good links to apply for especially if they say easy easy
apply so we see that we're good we're in a good place
got in-house CRA looks like they're looking for two years of experience and
clinical but whatever I'd still apply for that but yeah so I typically put in
clinical research associate and here's exactly the reason why you're gonna get
coordinator positions you're going to get in-house reak clinical research
associate positions you're gonna get regular clinical research associate
positions you might even get some project management positions so that's
just typically the barometer I use when I'm first looking and then so look at
this we see a clinical research associate training program at no Bella
so definitely apply to that those training programs are gold and you only
start seeing those pop up when the industry really needs some new
entry-level C Ras so that's perfect to apply for if you're new to clinical
research or even have a year two years of experience because really an
entry-level CRA is two years experience and it's weird I hate how they do that
in this industry they say entry-level but they really mean two years
experience they're not talking zero experience but anyway look plenty of
jobs here any therapeutic area and that's awesome because typically we see
only oncology or only hematology or only insert therapeutic area here so that's
good I can't add this and they've been running this a long time twenty-two days
old so that means they're constantly taking applications so you definitely
want to apply to all of these you've got clinical trial assistant clinical
research associate senior clinical research associate I mean just look at
all these jobs especially if you're coming from
they're industries I mean you type in a position how many jobs do you see there
they can't beat as many it can't be this many I mean the list just goes on and on
clinical research associate you got them all over the country
you got a Raleigh which is a hub you've got Georgia you've got I mean geez you
just you just name it you got anywhere you want to be home-based you got Texas
you've got Detroit you got Cambridge Massachusetts I mean pick where you want
to be there's a job for you here's an entry here's a clinical
research associate one this is actually a training program with CEOs because
they put their CRA ones through a training program so definitely want to
apply there it's an easy apply as well there's a no-brainer and West Coast
they're really looking for people on the west coast for CRA s so if you're in the
West Coast or looking to relocate to the West Coast you definitely want to check
that out as well so look cra-cra even though those are
sponsored it doesn't matter you're still looking for them
CR a senior as a senior but okay CRA this is study monitor same thing as a
CRA not one clinical research manager that CRA CRA one clinical research
associate coordinator contract clinical research associate another thing I look
for is when they are posting for contract positions you know the market
is coming back and especially contract project managers contract project
managers if you see that the industry is coming back and it's hot so I've seen
that a number of times and I've seen contract CRA positions when they're
looking for contractors you know the industry is hot so now's the time to
apply apply apply apply so look at all these positions I mean it just the list
just goes on and on all these pages cra-cra clinical research assistant
which is not a CRA but hey you've got Junior CRA the West Coast
I mean East Coast at Merck that's a sponsor CRA CRA CRA CRA I mean how many
times do I have to now it just goes on and on and on you
know cra-cra so now is the time to apply the
industry is mega hot right now and I would bring you over to LinkedIn but I'd
have to blur out too many people's names but I'm gonna tell you what I've seen on
LinkedIn on LinkedIn a lot of the recruiters I know I mean I'm there's
something new every single day coming out on LinkedIn saying hey we're looking
for six contractors to do this we're looking for two contractors to do to do
biostatistics we're looking for you know we're hiring for ten of these positions
etc my department which is a monitoring department said they're trying to hire
50 new monitors over the next couple months so whenever you hear that you
know the industry is hot so guys I'm telling you the industry is coming back
right now now is the time to apply apply apply I know a lot of you guys are
interested in becoming coming into the clinical research industry becoming
clinical research professionals or even if you're in the industry and looking
for a change now is the time to apply because I like applying when it's
easiest to get in when the when the odds are not stacked against you they're in
your favor so now is that time probably I'm looking for this to continue through
the summer because typically the industry is good well is not good
December January November December pretty much end of October all the way
to probably mid February the industry is cold with the holidays and all that
stuff then it picks back up March March April May June July August September
it's hot particularly in the summer it's even hotter so right now it's gearing up
to be hot it's gonna be blazing hot in the summer and then it's gonna start
cooling cooling off then once the end of October hits it's pretty much shuts down
so now is the beginning of the the heat index imma call it the heat index at the
beginning right now so make sure you start your applications you get out
there and apply and that's pretty much it for this but I can
tell I'm we're gonna do some updates throughout the throughout the course of
