90-Day Job SearchVerified outcome
Got an offer in less than 60 days.

I started as a CRA at a site and after 1.5 years wanted to move to sponsor side. After many failed attempts, I signed up for the 90-day program. Rudy and the team were exceptional and fully committed — he was always making time for me. The interview prep was my turning point. Best decision I made.

Made the pivot from clinical to pharma feel possible.

I came in with a daunting goal: pivot from the clinical space into pharma and the corporate world. Rudy walked me through my resume and laid out the possibilities in a way that made the transition feel exciting. The 90-Day Program was incredibly comprehensive — LinkedIn optimization, networking toolkit, and interview prep at every stage.

Confidence comes from preparation, not personality.

Rudy transformed my solid clinical research experience into a compelling narrative that resonates with the market. Through structured mock interviews, personalized feedback, and a shift toward metric-driven communication, I realized confidence stems from thorough preparation and structured responses — not just personality.

He genuinely invests his time, knowledge, and expertise.

The program is thoughtfully structured and highly practical — an excellent resource for both experienced professionals and those new to clinical research. Rudy offers comprehensive support through one-on-one mentoring, weekly live classes, resume building, and mock interviews. What sets him apart is his unwavering commitment to mentees' success.

An offer two weeks after the program — after seven months unemployed.

Two weeks after completing the 10-Week Intensive Clinical Research Accelerator, I received a job offer after seven months of unemployment. Rudy helped me stay focused on what mattered — salary, growth, and balance. Now I'm interviewing for a higher-paying lab manager role. YANA truly lives up to its name.

From 50 applications, zero interviews — to back-to-back interviews in 3 weeks.

Before working with Rudy, I had submitted over 50 job applications with zero interviews. Within 3 weeks of starting his program in April, that completely changed — I began receiving back-to-back interviews and ultimately landed a contract role. His strategy, structure, and consistent support made a massive difference.
