Need to vent...ugggh!!!!

Published

So yet again I am here to vent about the fact that I have no job! I am trying so hard to maintain some sanity! I feel like I am never going to get a job. I have applied all over NYC to get a job. NOTHING! I have applied to get my liscense in NJ hoping something will turn up there. I am at my wits end. I am really starting to take this personal. I have waited so long to be a nurse and I feel like it wil never come to pass. I feel useless. I hate not having a job. I never anticipated that this would happen.

Fiducia,

There are many of us in the same boat all feeling the same way. I am in the exact same situation except I am in Boston. I have given myself until March to start a job, and if that does not happen I will be moving. We'll get there someday, and in the meantime can you find some per diem work? I got a per diem job doing corporate wellness so that keeps me sane (just a little). Just know there are other people feeling the EXACT same way and you are not alone.

Oh, have you tried hospitals in CT? I know Yale New Haven is hiring. Keep on truckin...

Hey AC, I have tried to get a job doing anything. Nothing seems to come to pass. It is easy to forget that I am not alone in this. Hopefully once I get mi liscense in NJ I will get a job. I have applied to nursing homes even though that is not what I want to do. At this point I will take anything I can get. I just have to take solace in the fact that I am doing everything I can to get a job. Thanks for your encouragement.

Do you call and follow up after you've turned in your resume?

With my job, the recruiter told me they would call me "next week", I waited, no call. I called them, same thing was said, "we'll call next week." This went on for about a month, but I was very

persistent and called them every week until they gave me, at least, an interview.

They had already done most of the new grad hires and I realized I had a long shot at obtaining this job.

If I were you, I'd call and talk personally to the recruiter. If there strictly not hiring, ask for some advice or tips that can give you a better chance at being accepted at your next choice. You just need to get persistent with these people and sell yourself. That's what I had to do.

Good luck.
