List your studies, not just your duties
For each job, note the therapeutic areas, study phases and the number of studies you supported. "Coordinated four Phase II and III oncology studies" says far more than "coordinated clinical trials."
Show the numbers you can share
Enrollment counts, visits per week, query turnaround and audit or monitoring results all show your impact. Keep sponsor names and study details confidential where your agreements require it.
Name your systems
List the EDC, CTMS, eRegulatory and IRB systems you have used. Many sites screen for these by name, and familiar systems mean a shorter ramp-up.
Put certifications and training up front
Include GCP training, any professional certification you hold and relevant licenses such as phlebotomy or nursing. Add the year so the reader knows it is current.
Keep it clean and scannable
- One or two pages, with the most recent role first.
- A short summary at the top: your title, years in research and therapeutic areas.
- Plain formatting, so applicant tracking systems read it correctly.
- Save and send it as a PDF unless the employer asks otherwise.
Moving into research from another field?
Highlight transferable work: patient care, lab work, data entry, documentation and anything done under a protocol or SOP. Those skills matter to research sites hiring assistants and entry-level coordinators.
