Hello everyone! I recently graduated and I also passed my NCLEX. I applied to about 3 positions in NYC during my last year of nursing school, but I really dislike the fact that I spend most of my time applying only to find out that a position was given to someone else. Therefore, I am looking to see what else I can add to my resume as a New Grad to stand out in my future applications. I want to add what I am currently planning to do in order to obtain a position and improve my resume:1. I am looking towards obtaining a Disaster Preparedness certification.2. I am also looking toward volunteer opportunities I can do as a New Grad RN(I am applying to NYC MRC)3. I am studying for my driver's permit to get my driver's license really soon because I might need to go out of state to obtain a job position4. Updating my profile in Linked In. 5. I made an appointment with a career advisor in my university to practice my interviewing skills, and resume skills.6. Researching any career fairs that will be held this yearI would like to hear your opinions on whether you believe my plan above is a good idea.I also want to hear from all of you to know what certifications should I DEFINITELY obtain and what volunteer position should I DEFINITELY apply for. I also would like any other tips or advice or any other website you believe I should post my resume in. Also , should I apply to ANA or any other nursing chapter in order to find a job opportunity?I am currently googling every single keyword I can think of to find something, anything! Keep in mind I am giving my 100% on finding any opportunities available. However, I would love to hear from anyone that can give me further assistance.Please and thank you
