Design Your Dream Job Contest: What Should You Expect to Get from your Dream Job?

Common complaints of clinical job positions from GlassDoor.com are: “Lack of personal development opportunities," "lack of career progression within the company," "a lot of talk and no action," "under pay from market rate," and "no incentive to do better.” In addition, several former clinical employees working with CROs and clinical contract staffing companies have stated on Jobvent.com that they are "fed up with back-stabbing and incompetence,” an “unhealthy environment,” and high turnover.

“What Should You Expect?”

The best companies will provide the opportunity to grow your career, challenge yourself and allow you to provide insight and a point of view. The company as well as the job itself should offer a positive and challenging environment to help cultivate your skill set. Here is the top list of things that you should expect when you get a job.


Make a difference.
You should have the chance to make a difference in clinical research, helping bring drugs to market.

Have your ideas heard.
The company should allow you to showcase your expertise to further the Life Sciences field, creating new efficiencies and effectiveness in companies based on experience.

Become a Star.
While working at a company, they should have resources to get your name out there. You should have plenty of opportunities to effectively market yourself and your abilities to the Life Sciences industry

Be CHALLENGED.
Learn new skills and encounter new opportunities with their breadth and depth of available work experiences.

Be Part of a Community.
Beyond just exchanging information with each other, the company should have an elite team and consultant community that collaborates. Look for an extensive alumni program, superior benefits and a comprehensive loyalty program.

Pursue your Dreams.
Make sure you are truly happy at your workplace and can maintain an optimal work and life balance. Accommodating your personal preferences and career goals goes hand in hand.

Grow!
Understand your desired career path and ensure that you have job opportunities that help you build your skills in your desired direction. There should be sufficient intellectual capital that will help you get best practices experience every day.
