How do you have an assigned manager but no project? Usually “my” manager is the person managing me on a specific project. Do you mean like a counselor?

Yes counselor. We call them managers as well

They are not helping your year end narrative, that’s for sure

Happened to me but only for three days. Basically the SM wants to keep me in his circle.

Who’s your manager? Your resource manager or past project manager?

Get a new manager. Either they are blocking you for projects without talking with you about why they don’t align with your career goals or you’re going to get counseled out. Contact Hr and get a new manager ASAP.

Or they are protecting you from crap projects. Is your utilization decent? Do you have good ratings?

Hello all
I am a biology graduate. I worked in cancer research and development for more than two years. Recently moved to Canada, and now I'm wanting to transition into clinical research.
Most jobs I find online ask for atleast 2 years clinical experience.
Does anyone have any tips on how to procure this experience? Should I invest in a course? Or should I volunteer at a CRO?
I recently got offered a clinical admin position, would this count as clinical exp?
Thanks
