Job hunt Help

[NurseP1988]

I am an internationally graduated nurse. I graduated in 2013, I gave my nclex in April and cleared on 1st attempt. Recieved my license last month. Since than I am applying for jobs but no one calls me back except for an opportunity via Ontario health force for IEN nurses. I gave my interview and it went OK. but when i reflect back now feels like they are not going to call me. i messed at many point it didnt went that smooth .. Many of my seniors told me to build contacts as it will help me in getting job but i dont know any one here. Meanwhile applying for license i planned to do some specialized courses but it is difficult to decide any specialized certification as i dont know in which department my 1st job would be with time getting hopeless

What sort of jobs are you applying for?

Ontario is a very tight job market for local grads and experienced nurses.

Consider working on your English. You're all over the place in your post and it doesn't read clearly. It could be that your communication lets you down at interviews.

Go outside of your comfort zone.. Apply wherever you can to find a full time job. It's nearly impossible to extend your PGWP unless you get halfway through your immigration process. I'd say just email all the recruiters within a 6 hr radius of where you are living in. Never stay in the cities if you expect a fulltime job with immigration support as an IEN.. I was an IEN and I rented a car and drove around to nearby rural areas and personally handed out resumes and cover letters. Got a full time job on my first try at a rural city nursing home. This was 1.5 yrs ago but job situation has gotten worse since then...
