so here's a situation that a lot of people I know who reached out to us at
elite clinical group at gmail.com soft plug there a lot of times they email in
st. and and they talk about how they've been offered a position in clinical
research but it's usually maybe it doesn't pay very well it's a contractor
position you know it's only for a few months should they take it or should
they hold out for a better position what would you say to that person um I think
every situation I guess is different I mean I wouldn't take a short contract
job but that's just me because I need financial stability so I wouldn't do
that but I mean if they really you know once you have that experience on a
resume and they're able to you know figure out something else after that you
know for everything that contract is over I don't think it would be such a
bad idea to accept that position and they're always you know contract
positions all the time yep that are open I'd see increase all the time about
contract positions so yeah yeah nor there's there's definitely more now well
I'm a lot of companies always try and get get you to get their foot in the
door I know IQ because that they'll start out with like a six month contract
and either extend you or bring you on full-time I actually go my start as a
contractor as well and I know that for people that are listening who are
worried about that the job market completely changes after you even get
like three to six months of experience so I'm right I was getting way more
callbacks just with those three months of experience rather than having no
experience like it was completely different so that's something to think
about as well yeah I agree all right good glad we agree there so so
would you ever be like a contract research associate I'm a contract
clinical research associate I know that that may be harder because you don't
have the stability of working for the big CEO you're kind of working for
yourself could you comment on that a little bit um I would I actually thought
about doing it after I get a little more experience I mean I you know it's always
good to work for yourself and I know even though like the contract is you
know it's usually for like a few months like make like you said three to six
months or sometimes it may be for a year um they do get paid more so yeah I've
definitely thought about that I I wouldn't say that I would never do it
but I think more than likely I'll probably do it in the future just not
right now because I want to get more experience before I see that yeah I feel
like most of those contractors have like years and years of experience anybody so
if you're gonna hang with them for a gig it's probably gonna be pretty tough
right unless you've got a lot of experience
yourself right but I know in 2017 when I was looking at the market I didn't see
many contract clinical research positions open I mean you I had to like
really really dig for him if I was looking for him but now I see people
posting on LinkedIn for him I might even seeing contract project management
positions opened up so that's what that's yeah I've seen contract data
management I've seen contract almost anything I didn't see a contract in how
CRA position so that's one way you can really like look at the market and see
what the job markets like because in 2017 I didn't see any of that just you
know
