When i can only find just a few active jobs for the entire state of Texas, the second largest US state, the sky is falling.
Now you can be like "but there's all these only job listings" - go talk to a damn recruiter which i have done several times in the past 1 week. Almost all of them are shell listings right now. Usacs makes it sound like they have 20+ openings, when you talk to them on the phone, the recruiter is like "yeah i have nothing active right now. How about Oklahoma?".
Teamhealth - "yeah we just have one site. Used to be 36k volume, now 25k, single coverage, most days no MLP. It's a very difficult job".
I would have sworn that sound physicians would have something in port arthur (or was it vituity? Whatever, one of those cmgs that give you pretend partnership. Their recruiter said "yeah even that site is full. We have nothing".
All of these guys just have job postings up and aren't hiring, they don't mind getting resumes so they have a pool of candidates when they actually do hire.
Temple Texas has a posting up and pretend to be hiring, when you email them they say yeah maybe one spot but we have dozens of applicants for that spot so low chances.
IES pretends that they have several spots around Houston....i wouldn't know, because they seriously didn't even respond to my email or phone calls. The recruiter seriously has one job to do -_-
Envision pretends to be hiring for Lubbock and other smaller areas. Talked to Lubbock recruiter, she had nothing. The other areas like tyler Texas etc, the recruiter didn't respond at all. I've called twice and sent an email. No response. They probably aren't really desperate
So..... What happens when 100+ residents graduate next year? A lot of these people like to stay within the state. I don't even think Texas will have jobs for this year's class.
This isn't some small place.... This is the second largest state.
I'm just so damn tired of these posts. If you don't think the market is bad or want to rationalize and be in denial then you do you. Go pick up a phone, see if you can find something and then we can talk -_-
