You talking about LinkedIn Learning certs or CPA?

Your recent misdemeanors, traffic infractions and expired certifications will not show up.
B4 background checks (esp Deloitte) do go deep and they verify titles from previous jobs. Same with educational qualifications (not certifications). But don’t call yourself a CPA if you’re not one. No one cares about other certifications like cloud practitioner, cyber king, etc.

Today, she emailed me something and told me to do “extra checks” for pincites, grammar, etc. I put all of my documents through grammarly and brief catch on top of an additional edit. I just went back and reviewed the document and I frankly don’t see where she got any of these comments. I missed a single pincite in a string cite. I don’t have this issue with any other (cont

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?

He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?
