Thre's more concerning Cereprotec,the location is in Chigago, and the regional codefor the phone number is from Ottawa.Highly unprofessional to ask somone to contact you urgent and then just not replying to your messages.Just look on the bright side folks, we were lucky! Would anyone of you actually work for an employer who doesn't show any respect?

today I had an interview and I don't think they will call me again. why? because  they were not impressed by the paper from Kriger, they asked me specifically if I REALLY HAD CONTACT WITH PATIENTS. and it is not the  first time I hear this question

yes, this is what I was thinking too. no one invited kriger here or on other forums. we should start by sharing e-mail addresses or ids for yahoo messenger for the beginning. it is very frustrating to enter on forums where you are supposed to get info and to deal with people who just come to spy and intimidate people. if they have so much time, they should use it in a clever way. e.g. they should focus on providing good quality courses (without hundreds or even thousands of mistakes!)and not on spying people on forums. or at least get a life.as long as the courses are of very poor quality and therefore the certificate and the letter of reference) are not accepted my anyone the problem will persist. but I really don't think he gets the idea

Guys,I am heartbroken,So this Espoirbridge,kriger thing is a huge scam.No doubt I applied to a lot of companies,but i didn't get a single call from anyone and I paid $1300 for the course.And now I think about it this Cliniqa thing is a big scam too.I was sent an e-mail saying that there as a immediate need for clinical research people and I kept calling the San Dieago number like a fool over and over again but nothing.What do I do now,all my hopes crashed.I dont know what to do.Where do I go from here.

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.

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.
