To begin, Im not even sure I did my resume correctly, is there a special way nurses do their resume? Anyway, I got a book to see how nurses do their resume. Finished my 'nurse resume' and proceeded to go 'job hunt'.
First place I went I had the rudest receptionist ever. It was literally like pulling teeth to get anything out of her........ like getting her to take my resume. All she kept saying was, we're not hiring any nurses. This was in LTC. Next a hospital, the administrator there tells me Im wasting my time and why dont I go back to school for my RN. Great...this right after she asks if Im a new grad. Then she tells me about a job fair they are having but follows this up with "dont bother coming" because she adds if we were to consider you, we want you to have one or two years experience. "You have to pay your dues you know" she adds finally. I went one other place to which the receptionist was polite and kindly told me they werent hiring.
Am I stupid or what, why didnt I even ask for a job applicaton to fill out. No one offered me that. I havent looked for a job in well.... in something like a hundred years. Anyway after all that, I stayed home today and did nothing. I know this isnt good but tomorrow is another day. I will begin my hunt again until I get something. Im confident I will but I just did not expect to hear the discouragement out there.
How to happy job hunt??? The title of this thread should probably be, Happy Job Hunting NOT!!! Good luck to everyone else that is just starting to job hunt.
