So i'm a fellow new grad in california. and i had my share of misery in the last year struggling to find a job. It's been a rough rough road but I finally found something. it's little but its something. I wanna give some advice out there for those new grad struggling to find a job.
1) turning in an application is not enough.. u gotta pick up the phone and call!
2) I volunteered at 2 different positions. they probably want to know what you've been doing for an entire year. show that you've been keeping up your skills
3) when i volunteered, i networked with several managers. i even got some on the spot interview just by showing up :) network network..
4) get ACLS, join a professional organization, get a mentor through professional org, take classes related to your field.
5) talk to your classmates .. they'll give u tips and info on whos hiring.
6) talk to your preceptor !! my preceptor told me so many good tips on whose hiring within the hospital.
what they need to do is make bsn the entry level degree for rn's. that will slow down the saturation of the market. thats one reason why pt, fnp's and crnas have done it & are going to it.
