And so is IQVIA’s verification process. I’m in the middle of getting my MS (which I told the recruiter during my screening call) but I have it listed on my resume and listed on my application because, you know, I’m actively obtaining it. When I did my background check, however, I didn’t list it because I haven’t completed it, and the check asked for the HIGHEST COMPLETED; I’m not a liar, so I only listed my bachelor’s. IQVIA reached out and asked me for the info for my MS so the company doing the check could verify… I reiterated what I told the recruiter, asked if they still needed it and I heard no response so I sent the info anyways.
Well NOW I’m under “pre-adverse action” because the background check company couldn’t “verify” my education… WELL I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO YOU MULTIPLE TIMES. So I sent them a statement, reexplaining everything again, with a copy of my unofficial transcript and degree audit PLUS my certifications JUST IN CASE (but they’ll probably ignore that email like I’m pretty certain they ignored the previous one).
I’m so happy I didn’t put in my notice at my current job because I just knew some bull crap was going to happen. Atleast I have a job still; fingers crossed this one still works out but if not atleast I have something.
Hi friends! I have probably a weird question, but if you’re a CRA at IQVIA, what is your daily schedule like? Do you have to “clock in” at a specific time? Work for X-amount of hours? I’m guessing there are like, billable hours, time allocations, etc? Just wondering if it’s a strict sort of thing for days you aren’t on site?
My current position, while it pays less, is extremely flexible for hours so I’m weighing my pros and cons 😌
It’s not like I HATE where I work, and I really love my managers, and the fact that I am 99% WFH with zero travel…
I just don’t think I can turn down $20k and the opportunity for growth when where I’m at right now it is pretty much non-existent. In addition, I just feel like there are so many hands in everything all the time: everyone wants a say in what I’M doing, but they don’t like it when I give the same energy.
Mainly, though, I just don’t think I can pass up the salary increase.
I worked as a CRC/CRC II for 3.5 years and then as a CTA/IHCRA for 1, and I had an interview for a sponsor-dedicated CRA I position and THEY LIKED ME AND I SHOWED THAT I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING. I am knowledgeable! I’m not an impostor! 😂😌
THERE IS HOPE, FRIENDS.
