Guest guest Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hey bug love, I am going to reply to you here without my usual sarcasm, because I think you are already frustrated enough, and I you can really use the advice. First- Board etiquette This board is not the place to sound off about your alphabet cards, particularly ones that are considered standard must haves in most countries. MANY MANY MANY potential employers, myself included lurk on this board, and if you show that kind of frustration over a post seeking resumes that was not specifically addressed to you my " high maintenance employee " bell goes off. Just something that simple can and will send your resume right into the trash. I was once asked in an interview if I was afraid of heights. My honest reply was " no more than the next guy " meaning just that...I don't have any problem climbing on my roof to trim the trees, but I don't hang out on ledges of tall buildings for fun...Turns out this employer had a serious issue with a guy having a panic attack on an oil platform. That simple casual turn of phrase sent me permanently into their circular file. Be aware that you are an investment for an employer. They profit from you. Your lack of experience means you are a risky investment. Put yourself in their shoes and be calm and reassuring, not frustrated and aggressive. Second- Heed Austins advice. Use this down time to collect certs. Ask the board about what ones will be relevant to the specific fields your interested in working. The more focused your training, or more ridiculously over certified you are, the more likely you will fit into a box that someone needs filled. In the end it is just a waiting game to break into a circle. You will find once you have done well for a company they will be eager to pull you in again. Third-Job search- NOBODY is going to post... " seeking completely untested frustrated new guy " Employers spend a lot of money to put you on station. The experience factor is not only about your medicine it is also knowing you will be able to handle an atypical environment. The surest way to determine that is to see a lot of completed contracts on the resume. Many a medic has done the quick turnover when they realized remote work was not for them. Every time that happens it is lost money in terms of billable man hours, recruiting and mobilizing replacements, and potential PR depending on how you decided to go out. Just keep applying for all the positions you are qualified for regardless of experience, and like the man said. Eventually you will get your " warm body " offer. Don't feal slighted or shy, this is the break we all had at one point. Nobody walks into the good jobs without putting up with some crap ones first. This is a slow period right now so don't be too anxious. Good luck. PBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
