hey guys ECR G here back with another
video today we're gonna be talking about
how to assess the clinical research job
market now in 2017 the job market was
understandably down a little bit not
necessarily down but because of all the
acquisitions and mergers and the overall
volatility of the market place it seemed
like job opportunities were down for
people that aren't CRA s pretty much and
even the CRA job market was down a
little bit and today I'm gonna talk to
you and discuss one way that I look and
determine how good the market is and
we're gonna be using one of my favorite
tools today but this is just one
indicator I use and we'll do another
video on the second and third indicators
that I use but here's one of the main
ones I do so first we are on Google and
we're gonna go in search from my
favorite website indeed.com
wait that's that's automatically for
Raleigh let's just go indeed.com here
it's already got Raleigh in there which
I often used to assess because there's
that is one of the hubs of clinical
research but this is what I do first so
originally I just type in clinical
research associate and that's a pretty
good keyword to search for because a lot
of other jobs come up in that category
you got project managers and it would
help if I could actually spell it
correctly you know a lot of other jobs
come up in there and we're not going to
define it to a city either so let's see
so when you do it just like that you're
gonna come with a lot of old jobs in
there so what you really want to do is
you know Advanced Search it and then you
can display more I like to display more
so I we can just go down but you want to
display it within a certain time frame
you don't want jobs that are just all
the jobs in there so I say how about
within 15 days now if you're searching
for jobs those jobs are probably already
applied for they're probably already
interviewing for those jobs but this is
just an idea to see the market and see
what jobs were put up over the past 15
or so days so we're off the bat on
indeed you've got your sponsored jobs
and those are good those just get
populated to the top so more people see
them so sometimes you'll see jobs that
are 30 days old or so there but
sometimes you'll see these these jobs
where 3 days ago
exactly so here in clinical informatics
specialists in Houston Texas good that
was three days ago clinical trial
imaging specialist that was doesn't say
how long ago but you got a study
coordinator here which is good
CMA two jobs at CEOs health great
position and they got it for Raleigh or
Irvine now there were not a lot of
in-house CRA jobs for in the market last
year when looking so that's that's one
way you can determine the health of it
now with the advent of remote monitoring
coming into the industry and being a
major player in 2018 and Beyond expect
to see more CMAs or in-house CRA jobs
coming to the marketplace and we did
that's not something we saw really at
all last year last year in 2017 because
a lot of companies cut that role parks
sell downsized their CMAs they were
laying them off and making them turn to
see Ras but I'm sure they're gonna be
bringing them back and also quintiles ik
lluvia now they cut down there on their
in-house CRA s2 so expect to see more of
those coming back
but anyway you've got and what you what
you're looking for here is you want new
jobs and new opportunities with you know
recently and you can do this at any day
of the week if you're looking for a job
I recommend you you look seven days a
week on indeed because recruiters and
talent acquisition people are constantly
updating it so don't think just because
it's the weekend that they're not gonna
be putting any jobs up they're putting
them up constantly
so you've got an internship here now
that's not something we saw a lot in
2017 so you know the market is
definitely turning up so three days ago
we got a job ten days ago we got jobs
eight days ago CRA jobs and you want to
make sure that you see companies that
aren't just the major players but you
see that that aren't just IQ via that
aren't just CEOs that aren't just you
know PPD and parks own so we got a job
from PR a as a CRA 19 hours ago
excellent that's excellent
this is exactly what you want all kinds
of jobs all different players you've got
even project specialists one now for a
lot of people that may not know how CEOs
works they they never put up project
specialists one jobs they always would
put out project specialist two and above
if you know the market so looks like
late phase look like this is a new unit
that they're trying to build out
normally you'll see oncology or CNS from
them but that's good you see product
specialist one so if your entry-level
and new to clinical research it's a good
job to apply for even though it's 13
days old so we've got all these jobs 14
15 days 7 days and these all look to be
solid clinical research jobs so that are
in the industry you know a lot of times
you do a job search you'll see jobs that
are kind of related to the industry but
these all seem jobs like good job study
coordinators senior clinical research
associate got great jobs 7 hours ago
that's exactly what you want to see you
want to see all different all different
time times of when they were uploaded so
we even got an internship here in st.
Paul I was at Minnesota or Minneapolis
Minnesota st. Paul Minnesota
six hours ago so that's exactly what you
want to see and then you just move down
the line too and you just you just want
to see a lot of jobs now what you could
do to make that even faster
hey I'm looking for a job now so let's
do since yesterday
what what's new since yesterday and you
we've got 643 jobs new since yesterday
that's amazing
so we've got a coordinator see array we
saw that C array C array intern CRA CRA
CRA CRA home-based so hey guys the
market is looking up CRA coordinator CRA
CRA CRA CRA so as you can see by a
salary here this is not the CRA that
you're used to a clinical research
assistant / coordinator there's not a
CRA clinical research associate there's
a difference there so here you've got a
lead clinical research associate in how
CRA and typically what they need the
mean there is this is a CRA who was
probably tired of the road tired of
being on the road all the time so they
move into a LEED CRA and they help
manage the CRA team so that's what they
mean they're buy-in house and they want
to put that there to show that hey
you're not traveling you're gonna be in
house probably remote so that's why they
would put that there but look guys we've
got a lot of positions here more CRA
more CRA so that's good and then they
got 15 pages of this so you just want to
keep scrolling down look CRA to remote
coordinator jobs and you know when you
use that I like using clinical research
associate because it brings back a lot
of different jobs but and that's just
how we're gonna be accessed assessing
the market if you put in project manager
or something like that you're gonna get
back I mean every company has project
manager positions you you're gonna be
looking at Home Depot Lowe's you know
all different sectors so if you're in
clinical research this is a pretty good
one because it's pretty much only gonna
turn back
in clinical research jobs were some of
the more general like project manager
project director or something like that
their own they're gonna come back with
all different sectors so this is a
really good one to use when trying to
assess the market so that's pretty much
what I do to assess it and you know I
you just check you just check every few
days or so if you just want to assess
how the market the job market is and
that's pretty much what I do just make
sure that you see you know all types of
jobs all different salary levels at
different you look even a protocol
coordinator they have at different
levels and throughout the country so
because pre that's pretty much what's
done here and indeed is a great way
we've done tutorials on indeed before to
assess and to apply for jobs it's one of
my favorite ways I'm a firm believer in
the 200 club you get 200 job
applications on indeed and that will
give you a few opportunities there to
get into clinical research so that's
pretty much how it's gonna take how much
it's gonna take now is a great time to
get into clinical research 2018 there
are more opportunities than ever before
and it's only gonna get more and more
competitive because more and more people
are finding out about it it's becoming
more and more competitive people are
realizing hey you can have a good life
with a bow degree you don't just have to
go get your PhD or go become a nurse or
a PA or MD or dentist or something you
can you can use your degree for good for
other things you can get into corporate
America and things of that nature so
great great tutorial on indeed we did
that one that was the first video we
uploaded I believe so
go check that out if you haven't already
and stay tuned we'll be doing in some
other ways to assess one of my favorite
ways to assess besides in deed is to use
LinkedIn so I'll show you guys how
that's done or at least walk you through
it because I'm not sure if I can get on
LinkedIn do a guest page or something
like that but you know just just keep
looking through indeed and you can use
indeed for many many tools so and indeed
is great because they they search all
the other job boards as well and the
jobs throughout the internet and they
update it many times throughout the day
so it does a really good job of staying
up-to-date so that's one of the great
reasons to use indeed over some of the
other ones because indeed is not just a
jobs board it's a jobs aggregator as
well so anyway guys hope you enjoyed
