I recently graduated from my masters in Genetic Medicine in January and have been struggling to find a grad role since. I was struggling to even get to the interview stage when applying for jobs. I have a great interest in clinical research, so when I came across Banke’s services I knew I had to book in. Banke thoroughly went through my CV with me and highlighted several areas for improvement and gave me specific feedback. She also highlighted what I had done well and how to develop these points. She then also gave me a deeper insight into clinical research as a career and changed my perspective on the roles I would be better suited to. I was focused on applying for the bottom of the chain roles ie clinical trial assistant, however Banke helped me realise that given my background, obtaining a role as clinical research associate is not too far out of reach for me. Banke was very helpful and thorough. She ensured we spent the entire time discussing my CV and answering any questions I had, but she also offered a lot of advice on things I hadn’t thought of. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that comes from a life science background and is a recent graduate looking for a role in clinical research.

I found Banke's 1-1 session very informative and helpful! I knew nothing about the world of clinical research/ working in clinical trials and I wanted to know more. I booked a session with Banke and straight away we got into the nitty gritty. I had limited knowledge about the role of a CRA/CTA which she explained in detail. She also shared what a typical day in the life of a CRA looks like as well as answering my questions on things such as career progression and steps I would need to take to make me competitive in the field. Lastly, she gave me actionable points to work on after the session, such as attaining a Good Clinical Practice certificate and re-formatting my CV so that I would have the best chance of securing an entry-level role and evaluating its suitability. I highly recommend Banke's services, 5 stars all around!

I made a few unsuccessful applications, most likely because I wasn't confident about how to get into clinical research and what employers were looking for. Banke was jovial and warm. She gave an open platform for the session which was helpful because I had a lot to learn. She gave me clear insights into the possible roles especially at entry level and the best routes to guarantee getting a job. She provided a detailed analysis of my CV with pointers for improvement so I can independently adapt my CV according to the role and company I'm applying to. I would appreciate ongoing coaching/mentorship from Banke and would recommend her to others because her passion is very infectious, and I am now excited for a future working in clinical research!

My 1:1 session with Banke was incredibly informative and helpful. I sought advice on breaking into the clinical research field after graduation, and she provided excellent guidance, thoroughly answering all my questions about various roles in clinical trials. Banke also gave me invaluable feedback on my CV, offering a detailed review that I found highly beneficial. Having my CV assessed was the most valuable part of the session. Overall, she was knowledgeable, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable throughout our session. This coaching session was a 5/5 experience.

As a recent graduate trying to land my first role in clinical research, I was delighted when I discovered Banke's page on TikTok. I booked a coaching call aiming to clear up some questions I had regarding entry level roles. During the call, Banke provided an overview of the roles within clinical research, including the duties you may perform day-to-day in each role, which helped me better understand the types of roles I should apply for according to my goals and interests. As I am currently searching for a job, she also provided a line-by-line CV review and advised on how to improve both the format and the content. This CV review was incredibly detailed and has improved my confidence in applying for roles. I would highly recommend the coaching call to anyone trying to land their first role in clinical research, or anyone looking to progress their existing clinical research career. The insights I gained from this call were incredibly valuable, and I would rate the service 5 stars

Banke provided me with a lot of useful and detailed information on breaking into clinical research. Also giving me extra time to go through my CV in detail was amazing. I really learnt a lot and I have edited my cv, searched CRC and CTA job vacancies and will definitely start posting more on linkedin as well as reaching out to more clinical research professionals. Banke has boosted my confidence in my application and steps I am taking to break into clinical research. What Banke is doing is amazing, I am one of many that have probably reached out but I guarantee there are lots of people she is helping just with her content on TikTok and free guides. Don't stop doing what you're doing. I'm really rooting for you and wish you nothing but more success. I can't wait to update you once I finally land an interview and job offer.

I recently qualified as a physician associate and have been looking into different career options. I came across Banke’s TikTok which made me interested in the role/ career path of clinical research so I booked a 1:1 coach session with her. Banke has been extremely helpful and encouraging in providing me with a detailed insight into the different roles of clinical research whilst also being understanding of my clinical background and what would be the best options for me to break into clinical research. I found it extremely helpful and felt comfortable asking questions about the role and the career which she took her time to answer in detail. She was very kind and lovely to talk to throughout the session. I would definitely recommend this 1:1 coaching session to anyone looking into clinical research. I really appreciate how detailed she was with my CV. I received feedback on specific things I could change and improve on my CV. I appreciate how patient she was whilst also making sure to still answer any questions that I had. I felt encouraged by Banke throughout this session which helped in boosting my confidence in wanting to break into clinical research and I’m truly excited for this journey.

Wanting to break into the clinical research industry and needed advice on how to approach it and how to update my CV to best suit what recruiters are looking for. Banke’s service was well tailored to my needs. She listened to all my concerns and queries that I had breaking into a new field. She was available and very hands on in ensuring that I took the necessary steps to further qualify myself for potential roles within this industry. For example she encouraged me to get the Good Clinical Practice certification. This gave me a lot more confidence applying to roles in this field and based on that, I would definitely recommend Banke’s service. 5/5 rating.

I booked a cv review with you in September as I had just finished my masters degree and was struggling with applications as I did not know what roles I should’ve been applying for to break into clinical research. I was applying for roles and getting rejections as I was going in with no plan or knowledge. I would like to say how much your coaching call helped in so many ways. Your breakdown of the roles available and how my work experience and skills could be seen as transferable skills when applying for these entry level roles was so helpful. I also took on your advice when it came to reviewing my CV and how I could make sure it was tailored to suite each role. The edits I made because of your advice, improved my CV immensely. You also gave advice about clinical research roles that I had struggled to come across during my own efforts of seeking information about breaking into the industry that I am so grateful for. I came out of that coaching call knowing the exact career route I wanted to go down. I would definitely give your service a 5 star rating and already recommended your service to a friend of mine who was in a similar position. I would also like to give an update as I have now been offered my first interview for a clinical research associate role a couple of days ago. Thank again for your help and God Bless.

I am a qualified Physician Associate exploring different career options based on my skill set. I came across Banke after attending a networking event where she was a guest speaker. Her talk interested me in clinical research and pushed me to start doing my own research into the field. The coaching session was super helpful. She went through different roles in clinical research and pushed me to reflect on what I think would be best suited for me. Banke also suggested an action plan, advising where to search for potential opportunities. Part of the session was dedicated to a detailed CV review. Banke went through my CV line by line and gave me detailed feedback on the structure and content based on my current experience/position. She was super friendly and receptive to all questions that I asked. Would 100% recommend a coaching session to everyone who is interested in clinical research. 5/5 stars

Before booking the 1:1 session, I was preparing for a Research Nurse interview but did not feel fully confident in my interview technique. Although I had knowledge of research, I unfortunately knew nothing about how to use the STAR method in the interview process, and I needed guidance on how to structure my answers properly. I booked a session with @thatclinicalresearchgurl, The session was extremely helpful. She made me feel comfortable from the beginning, created a no-pressure environment, and was very patient throughout. One of the most valuable parts of the session was how she taught me to use the STAR method clearly and effectively. That really helped me present my knowledge better and approach the interview with more confidence. Although I did not get the role this time, the feedback I received showed that the interviewers found me very knowledgeable and were impressed with how I answered the questions. I was even offered the opportunity to become a Research Champion on my ward, which I gladly accepted. The best features of the coaching were her patience, encouragement, and ability to simplify the interview process. I would definitely recommend her 1:1 coaching service to anyone preparing for research roles. I truly see it as a valuable learning curve and do not regret booking the call at all.

Passionate about clinical research and hoping to progress in my career path as a researcher but was not making progress with my applications. I came across Banke's page and materials, booked a 1:1 with her and she's been super amazing in giving tailored guidance with my CV and any additional materials that will help equip me for the roles: particularly being articulate with structure so it communicates to recruiters exactly what it needs to communicate, and after the session, I felt more confident going in for my roles. My star rating will be a 6/5: She's passionate about her services, and I love that!
Maria
I am currently a physician associate masters student and was looking into clinical research and what roles I could apply for and how to update my CV. Banke went through all the different clinical research roles and what each role entailed and what would be a good fit for me and went through my CV line by line in really good detail. She was very attentive and answered all my questions. The best features of the coaching 1:1 included going through the different clinical research roles, going through my CV in amazing detail and answering questions I had. I feel much more confident in applying for roles now as I was feeling nervous and unprepared beforehand. I would strongly recommend this to others, this was really helpful. 5/5 star rating!
Sara
As a final-year Master’s student who is very new to the clinical research world, I came into the session feeling unsure about the different career paths available and how to make my applications stand out. The coaching was incredibly valuable from start to finish. Banke gave me excellent insight into the wide variety of roles within clinical research and was so positive, encouraging, and reassuring throughout the session, which really boosted my confidence. Her review of my CV was extremely detailed, she identified areas for improvement and highlighted things I would never have thought to consider on my own. She also provided me with a clear, practical action plan that has completely changed how I approach my job applications. The personalised advice and genuine support made the session feel tailored to my goals, and I came away with much more clarity and confidence. I would highly recommend this 1:1 coaching service to anyone looking to break into or progress within clinical research.
