• What the jobs actually involve — CRA, project management, business development, data management, regulatory, site coordination, and where the real entry points are
• How hiring actually works — why CROs hire the way they do, what hiring managers screen for, and the three mistakes that kill applications
• How to position yourself — rewriting your CV in the industry's language, LinkedIn, cover letters, and the honest answer on certifications
• A 6-week action plan — what to do, in what order
• Appendix — glossary, where to find jobs, and the free GCP training employers expect
