Interesting. There was a rather revealing discussion going on about espoirbridge et al on the indeed.com website, which mysteriously disappeared today...

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 am trying to contact EspoirBridge, but the mail box is full.Any suggestion  how to reach them?

Thank you folks! keep this thread going. Like most of you I also, called the Cereprotec phone number and got no response. This is all a scam to get the Krieger company to make money. I am a recent Graduate from York University, Toronto, and no way in hell can you get a job offer right away without the initial grind. Stay away from EspoirBridge, Kreiger and cereprotec. They are simply bad news. I am calling my local news companies to bring an end to this scam.

This company has been calling me to sign up for their certification and says that they have jobs they will give out to those certified by their company. Is this true? are they registered with the BBB? what about clinqua clinical trials inc in san diego? does anyone have information on them? they are not registered with the BBB either.
