People should also be wary of the following:
http://medicaldevicesnews.com/
http://regulatoryaffairstoday.com/

These websites are very similar with some links to a "real" website concerning industry news, however other links are CLEARLY slanted toward Kriger, Cereprotex, ClinProxy, ClinQua, etc. An independant repubitable biotech news site would not try to drive its viewers toward certain companies, it would simply present jobs and related information. For a "real" website check out http://www.biospace.com/

I did a search for Linkedin of Clinproxy and only two people showed up...very suspicious for a worldwide company.

Please dont fall for these antics...I have worked for clinical organizations  for 10 years at Merck, Hoffman, to name a few...If a company is interested they will provide you with training for free. Or at least assist you finanically for any "specialized" training. I agree one should check out www.socra.org, www.acrpnet.org, and www.scdm.org for getting a start to getting into the clinical industry or further advancement. Not this Kriger scam.

Hello,

My name is Bruce Kriger. If anyone has any concerns regarding our business www.kriger.com or any of our partner companies please contact me directly. I own 25% of Cereprotec stock and is ready to answer the questions regarding this company as well.

Please stop immediately trashing my name. Whatever you think of me or my business it is not ethical or legal to continue your “campaign” after I have provided my full contact information.

Sincerely,

Moira, I did not get any job until now and I am very disappointed. I would not say Kriger's course is a scam (since it seems some people got jobsbut % how many? that's the question...). But nevertheless the fact it is online (which you should not mention in your resume) and therefore you don't have any contact with patients is not helping you. I got two interviews and in both I was being asked if I really had any experience with patients. I said about project IV (the survey) but this was not enough. It seems it is very HARD to get a Clinical Research job without real experience with patients (and without networking) So hard that now I am desperate and looking for ANY JOB since I really cannot rely on a job that is so hard to get. I have to pay money back to the bank and I will more likely get 2 jobs, even if this means for several months I will virtually have no time for things very important for my future. That's why I registered for that Program, to pay my debts by getting a job in clinical research, not to be buried in debt...

I too faced the same problem. I was not able to contact Sandra for the past one week. But at last yesterday i called her and she talked to me and said that she will send the confidentials.But till date no response.

First, I got an email from Espoirbridge asking to confirm email. Next,I got an email from a supposed recruiter Amanda Bale from Clinqua Clinical Trials, Inc. After a few minutes,I got another email from Kriger offering training at a discounted price. I spoke to Amanda Bale she said I was the perfect candidate for the study except that the company needed CRA training which would be partly paid by the company.I asked her for the no of the training company and she gave me a no and asked me to speak to Angela or Julie.If a company is interested in you they provide the training. Also,when I asked her the location of the employment she said I'd be working from a home office. I spoke with Angela and she said that the discount price was 900 and I might have to pay 450 USD. All this info was suspicious and so I did the reverse look up on the address of the company,4370 La Jolla Village DriveSan Diego, 92122-1249; and it turned up 100 people, one of which was Bruce Kriger. I also did reverse lookup on the no of the company and guess what, it is a landline in Rancho Bernardo, California not Sandiego as the email claimed. So this whole thing is a scam. I looked up the better business bureau of San Diego and Clinqua is not registered. I was lucky enough not to pay a cent to these people and I hope that other people will run into this forum and not fall into their TRAP.

I received a call from Sandra Stewart for a phone interview but I told her I wasn't interested (I found the blogs when I was researching the company in prep for my phone interview). I just told her that I have already accepted a position.
