California Jobs... I'm giving up!

[Nevada_RN]

I am feeling really defeated right now. I have been applying for acute care positions in California for over nine months. I moved to the Sacramento area when I got a job in a chemotherapy clinic. I jumped at it because I felt it was my foot in the door. I had to resign the position because it was downright dangerous. While I was at the clinic, I continued to apply for hospital jobs. I've applied for everything - medical, oncology, ICU, ER, etc. I've probably applied for close to 100 jobs in the hospital setting. Not even ONE interview. In the meantime, I have been working at my old job per diem in Nevada. I am not a new grad. I have almost three years experience in medical/ oncology. I feel that getting a job at a SNF or nursing home is a step back especially since I already am employed at a hospital. What can I do other than go see the managers in person? I can't seem to get past the recruiters. It's starting to get a little ridiculous.

Advice? Encouragement? Thank you.

Hmm. Yeah apply once you got the permanent. They're always hiring. There's a small hospital in Beaumont, kinda far out, but they might have something. There's Corona regional. Redlands community hospital. Try those ones too :)

Try Clearlake Ca, it's a 2 hour drive from Sacramento, but they always hire because it's in the middle of nowhere. It's an Adventist Health hospital. Small, critical access, but a job is a job...

Can anyone list the name of these websites that let you compare your resume and a job description to help your resume pass the computer screening? Thanks!

Would you mind posting the name of the website you used to screen your resume? I'm in the position you once we're and I haven't been able to get past the computer filters. Thanks!
