I already sent a thank you email to the HR person after my interview and requested the email of the nurse manager I spoke to but I haven’t heard anything yet. Should I call and ask if there is anything I can do to improve my odds of being hired on the next round of applicants? If so, how should I ask and what other questions should I include? Also what should I do in the meantime. Eh… The worst part was I did my best, which was surprisingly well considering it was my first interview since graduating in the end of May . I honestly can’t think of anything I can improve upon. (the NM even said "good answear" to one of my response!) I know that there were a lot of applicants for the few positions, the economy, yatta yatta yatta… But it still stinks not having a job. Thanks!
First of all, hang in there!
Sounds like you did everything you needed to do during the interview. Don't be afraid to call the manager or HR and see if the job was filled. If it was, ask/email the NM and ask for some feedback, and ask "what could I have done to be a better applicant". Not only will it give you something to work on, but it also keeps your name in front of them for future positions you might apply for.
In the meantime, just keep looking and keep applying. This cycle will turn back around and the jobs will come back. Good luck!
