Hey guys! Do u think volunteering in the hospital or a nursing home could possibly increase my chance of getting a job there? I'm thinking I'm just gonna work retail or something and volunteer when I'm free, that way i can get to know the managers and staff right? Is there anyone who has gotten in this way? Or know of someone who got a job this way?

Thanks for all the help guys! Sadly I only found a few positions from what you guys suggested. I'm thinking I might also have to go into retail and just work there until I find something.

Everything. When I was a student, my preceptors and other employees told me to write a cv pertaining to that unit and hand out resumes. They said it was the best way to get a casual position, but I graduated 18 months ago, I'm just afraid that the manager will see that i have no experience and toss my resume. Actually, I'm afraid that will happen with any job I apply for. Still keeping hope though.

Hey Guys! I graduated last year in March and am still unable to find a job here in Calgary (LPN). When I graduated, AHS was having a hiring freeze, then slowly it seemed there were less jobs and more people who needed them. It's September 2016 now and 18 months of me having no job. I apply online and it gets me no where. I go to the hospital and hand out resumes too, didn't do anything for me. Now I'm looking outside Calgary, Strathmore, Olds, Okotoks, Airdrie. I want to cry!! I have no experience!! What can I do now? Should I still go to hospitals and hand out resumes? Someone help me Please!!
