New grad job search (VA)

Published

Graduated in Dec 2013. Got married to a Marine!

So we've moved twice. I'm now in Virginia and cant find a job after 3 months job searching (Indeed.com) I don't know anyone since I'm new here, so I don't know how to network. Is anyone willing to look at my cover letter/ resume to give me any pointers? Thank you everyone!

To bad you couldn't get on at a va hospital. That way when you move again you can "transfer" within their network. Plus nice benefits to boot.

I am in Virginia too. Which part are you located in? I may be able to help you find a place to work. The healthcare industry is different in all parts of VA so knowing where you are located is important. If you are in northern VA finding a nursing job is very competitive. Mainly you must have a BSN and if you don't have much experience then you need to look into a nursing residency program or even apply for a LPN position. If you are in southern part of VA like near Richmond, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Ft. Lee, Colonial heights, chester area then finding a job should be know problem. Let me know so I can direct you to a hospital that may be able to help you! Good luck to you :)
