WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???  Yes, I'm out of work and have been applying everywhere and I started getting e-mails from EspoirBridge Recruiters.The FIRST TIME I saw them trying to refer me, with their courteous discount, I knew this was a scam.  How?  SIMPLE.  What they were doing was blatantly unethical.  I can't believe anyone sent hundreds or thousands of dollars to these people when a little common sense and research would have proven they were scammers.  the only reason they exist is because people are stupid enough to fall for it.  Simple rule everyone is told and should know.  YOu don't have to PAY to get a job.  If you do, RED FLAG.  Come on people, wake up.  I bet for every one person that admits giving these thieves money, their are hundreds who keep quiet... minus thousands of dollars.

To Veni,I would start by making a report to the FTC--https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/Take Care-Esther

Thanks Greg, I hope at least that i did not pay the course for nothing( i'm kind of in the same situation as you are- no income but a lot of debts). I have the experience with patients but even so i did not get any job offers so maybe i should change my perspectives as well.

Anute, if you curently work at a university, I would suggest the following: contact professors at the Department of medicine, health professions, Psychology/Neuroscience & Nursing to see if they have any research going on for which they need research assistants. You have better odds since you already work there.

About training, I would recommend you volunteer a lot. You need practical experience. Just helping out in a clincial study for 1 month goes a long way. Check if your university has a centre for clinical research - they would have training programs each month on different aspects of clinical research b/c the professionals need to stay up to speed too. The programs are free, though registration is generally required since seats are limited.

You only become a certified CRA after 2 yrs work experience. At this point, mentioning "CCRP or CCRA" on your resume will set you apart. Otherwise, you basically begin at an entry level position and work your way up.

Lastly, be proactive! Tell everyone you know that you are looking for work in this field. Search job banks, use google, set up career alerts, send out resumes even when not sollicited. Make sure you target your search and apply for positions for which you qualify.

I received an email for a CRA position today from the following company:ClinQua Clinical Trials Inc.4370 La Jolla Village DriveSan Diego, 92122-1249Tel.  (858) 605-1793www.clinqua.coma.bale @ clinqua.comUSAYes!
