No return call from nurse manager, should I keep calling?

Nurses New Nurse

Published

I've left two voicemails so far to the nurse manager in charge of the floor I am trying to apply a job at. HR already sent my application almost a month and a half ago and that is when I placed my first voicemail before I went on my 3-week vacation. I called again when I got back, but found out she won't be in until June 1. No return call yet. Should I keep on calling? or is this a sign she doesn't want to hire me? I really want this job (its med/surg).

Why call?You work at the place right?Go there in person.

To get what you want, you must do what you have never done.Take the bull by the horn and do a casual drop by( with all your particulars)

Seems it is the standard now-a-days. Over the past month to month and a half I have applied to oh... probably 6, or so jobs. Only jobs I know I am qualified for. I have a strong resume, I have the qualifications they are asking for. I write a cover letter for each position (not just a generic one). No phone call back for an interview. So yes a wait a few days and follow up with a phone call. Only one time I got the person I nneded to talk to; in which she replied "oh we have been swamped with applications for this position". We will get back with you" what was your name again". Another week goes by for this job. I called the facility and was told by receptionist no one hsd been hired yet. I said ok thank you very much and left it at that. NEVER HEARD FROM THEM ONE WAY OR ASNOTHER:confused:. Ok so the other apps./resumes I have sent, dropped off or faxed (whichever). I have not gotten a call back for any interview. I have proof read, spelling and grammer are all good. My refernces on my resume would never say a negatove word about me. I am not sure what the heck. I know HR, DON's and ADON's are busy people. But where's the respect? It's quite frustrating

PS The none women I did get to talk when I followed up to was the one who said they were swamped with applications, asked my name again and that don't worry someone would get back to me either way. Another week goes by I called and asked receptioniest if job had been filled without giving my name. Receptiioniest stated "no one yet". I thanked her, hung up and waited and waird. NO CALL BACK.

Prinsessa, I agree with this as well. Job hunting these days is SO VERY impersonal!!:banghead: This has been another oet peeve of mine while looking for a job.
