I graduated this May but haven't been able to land a job anywhere in my area. I've been on several interviews and I have practiced interviewing so I can handle most of the questions they ask... but my biggest fear is when they ask "So you graduated in May WHY haven't you been working?" or they ask "What have you been doing since you got out of school but haven't gotten a job?" I tell them I reviewed my materials and studied for NCLEX and have been earning CE's... I am not quite sure what other certifications I can earn since I already have ACLS since winter.
I feel like there is a lot of resentment towards people who graduate but haven't gotten any offers. I'm getting really scared since most of the positions are not available for me (I can only apply for GN positions according to all the recruiters I talked to) and December more stuff will come up butttt I know I'll have to compete with the December grads... and I feel like employers would rather pick them over me... even though I speak several languages, graduated with Honors from my honors program, scholarships, volunteer work, and previous experience as an extern.
I've also looked out of state, but I would really love to stay in Texas.
