hey guys Serg here back with another video guys I promise I promise I promise
the job search gets much better after you gain just a little bit of experience
I'm gonna explain why here in a second
hey guys ECR G here back with another video now if you're most likely watching
this video right now it is probably because you yourself are looking for
another job in clinical research or you are coming out of college and looking to
get into the clinical research industry or you are working in another field and
just looking to get into clinical research industry and you are having a
hard time getting into the clinical research industry you have heard about
the demand for clinical researchers that's true it's there you've heard of
maybe even about the high demand for clinical research associate positions
because that's where you want to go on your career path but you're like if
there is such a high demand why is it so hard to get into the clinical research
industry and you see all the time then posting positions you're applying for
position after position but it's still hard to get into the clinical research
industry well I promise you it gets much easier but if you're in that boat having
a hard time getting into the industry there could be a slew of reasons your
resume might suck and if you are in that boat if you are wondering if your resume
sucks go look at our past video on top reasons why your resume sucks
we've also outlined on the channel some of the common things that you can do to
help improve your resume but if you would like even more help with that
we've got a resume review program that I strongly recommend we come to your
resume line by line and we dissect it word by word and improve your resume we
use a series of things that we do we translate and tailor your resume for the
job that you're applying for we hand curate the best experience from your
resume it's all tailored we hand curate the best experience from your resume and
translate that into clinical research experience and terminology really the
terminology not the experience we don't lie or make up stuff we translate the
terminology we add terms on there and we basically point you in the right
direction and give you a lot of tips to get into the industry that the average
person will not share with you so if you're intersted in that email us elite
clinical group gmail.com but there are a series of
other reasons why getting into the clinical research is difficult but just
to let you know it gets much better after you get a little bit of experience
a lot better when I first was trying to get into the clinical research industry
it took me a few months over 200 job applications so if you're trying to get
in at least 200 job applications I kind of call that the 200 Club so you've got
to be in the 200 Club and you'll get a number of interviews after applying to
200 jobs I had maybe three or four that actually went on I turned to down
because I was offered the position I wanted so that's about six interviews in
the last two were really good positions both at top CEOs in the industry for
really good positions but turn those down because I got the position I really
wanted so and that was my project management position but my first got my
start in clinical research I was a contractor I got in as a contractor not
making any money at all it was a three-month contract not even a
six-month contract so I took a big risk a big leap of faith and I was living out
of the state at the time so I actually you know put on my resume that I lived
in this state and luckily I went to college there so I I knew some people
there that I could use their address to apply and you know so I moved down there
for the contract now making any money but I had to believe in myself that if I
got this experience I'd be able to flip that into some more experience and it
worked so what's gonna happen is as soon as you get your position in clinical
research whether it's a contract and internship or whatever day one you
immediately update your resume with your new job description and you start
applying for jobs again you know the rep the the race doesn't stop I literally
started that week applying for jobs because even if you're on a contract
that's three months six months they don't have to renew it at the end
in fact sometimes they don't just because they no longer need your help on
that project or for whatever reason so you're on your own if you're on a
tract or internship so you got to always be on the offense there so that's what
happened yeah but you get a lot of experience it completely changes like I
could tell the tenor of the conversations completely changed
recruiters are reaching out to me even after one to three months of experience
in the clinical research industry they were reaching out to me for jobs they
are not necessarily the jobs always wanted but they were giving out they
were they had more jobs for me and I typically got recruiter callbacks
whenever I sent an application so that it completely changes once you get some
experience on your resume completely changes and that opens up the world to
you like never before because when you don't have experience they're not
exactly that interested and what you have to offer there are only a handful
of no experience positions out there that you can get and they're hard to
come by but once you get experienced that really opens up the world to you so
