Still unemployed; Why am I not getting calls for interviews?

[2016New]

I live in Miami, FL.

I graduated in May 2015.

Got my license end of July.

Missed application date for residency program because I got my license so late.

Since then, I've been applying to whatever position may be open.

I got one interview, and I didnt get the job.

Ive applied to 20+ positions, and havent heard back from any of them.

A residency program opened up beginning of December, and everytime i check, they have taken down the application.

They usually post it back up in a few days, but I'm afraid they wont since the deadline is supposed to be January 1st.

(i dont know why they keep taking the application down when the deadline is January 1st)

At this point, Im not sure what else to do.

Ive only applied within the area i live in.

Ive sent one or two applications to GA, and planning on sending some out to Orlando.

Any advice would help.

Thanks.

Some of these are like 1 hr from where I live!

But I'll look into them.

I haven't been able to find jobs that mentioned new grads being eligible.

Thank you.

I live in RI and work in Boston. Takes me about an hour and 20 min to get to work. That train is always packed too, so I'm not the only one. In the grand scheme of things, an hour to get to work is nothing. I know people who take two hours and above to get to work. At this point, you cannot be too picky.

I got a call back from a nursing residency program which is 3 years... THREE YEARS!

That is the longest contract found here in Miami.

I did not even sign up for the residency program... they called me to see if i was interested in having an interview next week.

I would take it if you are offered the job. Beggars can't be choosers. Three years will go by fast. Is it for a specialty area? Those tend to have long orientations.
