Dear All, I am a statistician retraining in statistics for Life Sciences (MSc level). I am considering taking SAS e-learning courses and related certifications to improve my employment prospects in Pharma/Research Institutes. I have already access to SAS 9.3 via my University. The courses I have looked at are the SAS Base and Advanced Programmer Certifications. My CV (Life Sciences wise, and by the end of my studies) will only include a short term contract in Public Health in the UK, my new degree (MSc, 120 ECTS), and an internship (Part and parcel of the MSc degree) with one Pharma/research outfit next year. Is this track record, plus the SAS courses mentioned above, adequate to get considered for jobs? If not, would be taking the SAS Clinical Trials Programmer certification worth the additional expense? Thanks in advance for your answers and for any additional tip/information you may want to offer about getting that type of jobs. Kind regards, Giulio Flore You may leave the list at any time by sending the command SIGNOFF allstat to [log in to unmask], leaving the subject line blank.
