I graduated in May and have been applying to many jobs and so far no one has hired me. I am re-applicant for this application cycle. what should i say in the secondaries when they ask about what am i currently doing.
You can get a job in the hospital that requires in-house training, such as a unit tech or a phlebotomist.GujuMD said:I graduated in May and have been applying to many jobs and so far no one has hired me.

do you guys know which hospitals around southern CA do this?OSUdoc08 said:You can get a job in the hospital that requires in-house training, such as a unit tech or a phlebotomist.
That is easier said than done. A lot of those jobs require some experience (in our state phleb requires that you are certified and most unit tech jobs (i.e. ED Tech, hospital tech, even patient transport) requires at least a CNA.OSUdoc08 said:You can get a job in the hospital that requires in-house training, such as a unit tech or a phlebotomist.
It depends on the hospital. The key is to not be too selective on where you work.Carmenita79 said:That is easier said than done.

True, but I've been thinking about going for "Patient Care Tech" at a local hospital since I saw that "pre-med" was on the list of "possible qualifications." Has anyone out there done something like this by chance? I worry about applying/interviewing for a position like this since I literally have no "job" experience or certification which would "qualify" me for it, beyond being a pre-med. I see that as being a potentially embarrassing situation.]Carmenita79 said:That is easier said than done.

Not in california. There are state laws that regulate healthcare there. I believe that is what Carmenita79 was referring to.OSUdoc08 said:It depends on the hospital. The key is to not be too selective on where you work.
Hehe, then we really are in the same boat...I just got back from Paris >).musiclink213 said:I'm kind of in the same boat, although I went travelling soon as I graduated, so I just started applying for jobs. I said on my apps that I've been travelling, and because of this, I haven't had time to secure a job, but I am currently sending out my resume and will update them once I have more info. I also mention that I do have some tutoring gigs lined up, but that won't start until the fall.
I am also in the same boat--I just got back from India....and now I need to figure out what to do next year besides applying.kypdurron5 said:Hehe, then we really are in the same boat...I just got back from Paris >).
I know that some hospitals have volunteer research positions. They're usually pretty low key, since most everybody is eligible, but they'll get you in a lab, where you could use your scientific charm to do more if you want.GujuMD said:I am also in the same boat--I just got back from India....and now I need to figure out what to do next year besides applying.
I was in Paris for 2 months 2 summers ago. That was a lot of fun. This time, I was going throughout Europe, and stopped in Paris for a couple days only. How did you like it?kypdurron5 said:Hehe, then we really are in the same boat...I just got back from Paris >).
It was incredible. I spent the month of June there and the entire experience just couldn't have been better. It really helps having a decent handle on the language.musiclink213 said:I was in Paris for 2 months 2 summers ago. That was a lot of fun.
