I noticed that more than one discussion forum on the subject of espoirbridge, cereprotec, kriger, etc, has mysteriously disappeared. A discussion on indeed.com (http://www.indeed.com/forum/job/clinical-rese ... c137e1e737d4204)disappeared. Several pages of this discussion also disappeared.I'd like to invite people to continue the talk at http://rantawaythoseblues.blogspot.com/I created the space so that this discussion can continue, even if this particular thread is taken down. Please bookmark it!Hope to hear more from all of you.

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.

This is what I got the Espoir Bridge. These guys are really idiots, they keep sending me the same e-mail regarding registering for Kriger's CRA even if I already told them I completed the course. Gues how many times they sent this e-mail? At least 15-20 times.
Just read how they do advertising for Kriger. By the way, the last phrase is really STUPID.  








Hello ,

I hope you are doing well. Please use this
e-mail:
info @ espoirbridge.com  - I review it more
frequently.

Let me tell you more about getting a job of
clinical research
associate just to make sure we are on the same
page.

It is extremely difficult to talk to employer if
the candidates
don't have clinical research experience and/or
training.

If you are determined to pursue with CRA career
path,
I would strongly recommend you to obtain GCP /
CRA certificate
through  training and certification  program, if
you didn't
do it in the past. There are many
clinical research associate programs available on
the internet.
Very few of them include practical part.

If you ask me, I'd recommend KRGI Training
program:
http://www.krgi.org/training/
and this is because:

1. It is, apperently, the largest CRA training
institution in the world
2. They have an internship  included in the
program that adds up to
your CRA experience and they provide job
references.
3. They are recognised by The International
Biopharmaceutical
Association and tuition fees are partialy covered
through this
organization. Here is an application form:

http://www.ibpassociation.org/app_forms/uk_form.php

(If you decide to apply - use our institution ref
number -
"EspoirBridge - code CR12" as a
referring recruiter, this will make it more
plausible that you get a good
percentage of coverage.)

I have placed many of KRGI grads, so it is
natural for me to be a
strong proponent of this program.

Usually  this training takes  6-8 weeks to
complete. But it is totaly
self-paced program, and they issue a password for
3 months, that
can be extended later.

This is on-line training, and there is nothing
wrong with that.

The BBB has a rating of "F" for this company! That's all I needed to see!!!!!

Im happy to have read this. I came across their site. They have been sendin me messages nonstop and finally found this page. I was never going to pay up front with the guarantee of gettin a job first,and not just hearing it from them. They are a money making company and would advice anyone who is interested not to fall for their interests without logic. I would advice to check it with a career advisor and companies who employ before believing in these loosers.

Thanks and laters.

I also called by e-mail and phone both EspoirBridge and Cereprotec and I got no answer back in one week!

I am really suprised that I did not any job offer for sure (just a few interviews, some just prescreenings). If there are so many clinical jobs and there is "lack of professionals" (as Espoir Bridge claims), how comes I applied to 200 jobs and got only wasted time? This is frustrating and revolting.
