I rarely see clinical research assistant positions that do not require phlebotomy experience or certificates.
This means clinical research assistant positions are "medical assistant" jobs with a little extra. This won't be a problem if 8 out 10 clinical research assistant postings didn't offer bad pay, below what medical assistant job typically pay. the only good thing is that cra roles are a pathway to CRC roles, but even those require 2 years of experience these days and have abysmal pay.

Getting underpaid for being overqualified is the hallmark of this industry, I think. When I see some of these salaries for positions that require crazy amounts of experience or even a PhD it’s just insulting.

Hi I have 5+ yrs of bedside clinical research nurse experience and have been trying to pivot to the CRO world. I have applied to over 40+ positions and keep getting rejected. I have reformatted my resume to ATS but that doesn’t seem to be working either. Why is it so hard to get into the CRO industry and why is my hospital experience not translating? Thanks

I’ve worked in clinical research in the academic/non profit world for the past five years.

I’m looking to transition from an academic medical center to pharma or a biotech. I have about 8 years of clinical research experience overall — 7 years combined as a CRC (CRC I, CRC II, and senior CRC) and 1 year as a PM. I’m also recently ACRP-CP certified.

I’ve worked with many different industry-sponsors and CROs throughout the years, but many jobs I am applying to require experience at a biotech/CRO/pharma company. Would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thanks in advance!
