I just graduated in May, and have yet to find a job since then. I took the August MCAT, so I started seriously looking after that. You would think living in the Research Triangle would mean there would be plenty of jobs...well, not for me. I have recently given up on finding a laboratory job. I am a psych major/chem minor with no previous laboratory work experience. All of the entry level positions are reserved for work study students. On the rare occasian that I find a job that does not require previous experience, it always says "not required, but helpful" which I have found to mean you have no chance at the position if someone else seeking the job has experience(which there will always be).
As far as health care jobs, Im not really sure what I can do in the hospital that does not require some sort of certification. So, does anyone have any advice on what sort of jobs/places I should be looking at in order to find a lab/research or health care setting job(any productive job at this point)? I have been using the Duke and UNC HR website, monstertrak, e-leads, and newspaper ads. Im starting to think I am destined to be a bumb for the next year. Any suggestions are appreciated.
