I am a new nurse having a hard time getting that first job. So I am trying a different way to apply for jobs. Kinda tired of going through the computer system so I figure I will send my resume and stuff directly to a human person increasing my chance of get seen.
Now, I have no idea where to begin with the email? This will be a cold contact, I had never interacted with the recruiters before. Should I also list what job I am interested in...but I do not want to limit my chances of other opportunities if I mention a certain position. Do make it like a cover letter?
Any tips/advice would be great. It would definitely help to have an example to work with if you feel comfortable in sharing/posting here...if not please PM me.
Truly appreciate the help and guidance. Thank you AN folks
Curious for any updates with your RN job? I'm a new grad as well from May 2015 and finally passed my boards in late November. Looking for a new grad RN job in the saturated market of Chicago.
Sorry for late update. I had only 3 interviews. One on the spot, 1 by recorded webcam, and 1 live for open house. 2 of them was due to connections i believed, it helped put me in front of an audience. Yes, I received an offer and I took it. I didn't use mrdearmas awesome strategy tho but it sounds awesome and it landed him alot of opportunities as he mentioned and revealed in the next post. So try to gather connections, no matter small or big....get in foot in door and get an audience for your well reheorificed performance LOL aka interview. good luck!!
