It really depends on the position. If it is entry level than sometimes they would rather hire someone they can train to do the job. Other times they won't hire without experience. Its rough. When I got out of computer school I must of applied to 200 different jobs and finally I received a call from a man looking to hire directly out of school. He didn't want anyone with bad habits, he was much more interested in molding and training a person than dealing with someone with experience who does things the wrong way. I'm on the opposite end of you, I have too much experience. All the jobs I've been applying for only require 1-2 years experience but being that I was an office manager I think they believe I would want far too much money when in reality I'm willing to get paid 15 an hour just to get in somewhere and get the experience of a hospital setting. I must of applied to at least 50 different jobs since March, all different hospitals, and this is the only call back I've gotten. My friend god a job working for Einstein and she had no experience. When they finally had an opening I applied and they didn't even want to interview me..I was like wth she had no experience and got the job, I have 6 yrs experience, yet i get no call.

I see . I guess it really depends on the job ! How do u determine if a job is entry level ? They don't usually say we are hiring right out of school and if they do where ? Because that's where I need to send an app lol. Most of the jobs I apply to want some kind of experience , not a lot but some and I just have none . I just need something before nursing school because these expenses are growing each and everyday !!! Thanks crystal

Alot of times it will say entry-level within the job requirements or it will say high-school diploma or GED required with no additional requirements other than some computer experience or something. Like proficient in MS word. Things like that. Also it may say something like experience is a plus. You should always apply even if you don't meet every requirement just to get your resume out there. Just make sure your resume stands out a little. My husband has to hire someone at his job and he is going through batches of resumes. Most of them are so generic and look the same. Use some fancy fonts, underlining, etc so that it doesn't look exactly like every other resume they are used to seeing. If you want email me yours and I'll look at. Maybe I can give you some pointers.
