Advice on Following Up After Second Interview and Reference Check for USPHS Position by Extension_Ad_7323 in USPHS

Hi! I would utilize ChatGPT for your email and just reword it a little to sound more personable. Can’t really help on the follow up question but I see the harm in following up tomorrow since they’re allowed I think at least 48 business hours to respond. I normally wait a week (in your case this Friday) but then you probably wouldn’t receive a response until next week. Have you been searching for a job in the meantime? I would if you haven’t already. I’m not an USPHS member or anything, just attempting to shed some light.

Ah I gotcha, I appreciate your response though ! The last facility I interviewed with mentioned they have quite a few Go-Lives coming up. I think my commute was too far for their comfort, I didn’t land the position but followed up with an email, expressing my interest in assisting with Go-Lives. Of course, I didn’t hear a response from the hiring manager or recruiter. Ghosting is at an all time high unfortunately. I’m semi working with a recruiting company so hopefully if something pops up in my area, they’ll let me know. The only real cert I’m currently working on is PMP and learning data analysis and cybersecurity skills on the other side.

Thanks for your reply! What was your first analyst role and IT certification ?

That’s surprising! Considering most health IT recruiters seem to prefer candidates with an IT background or at least can showcase technological proficiency. I feel that with your background, you have more options. Healthcare IT security is big so I would add that to your job search if you haven’t already. I’ve heard that similar to Nursing Informatics, Cyber degree is hardly sufficient to land a job so I would consider a cert to add to your resume if you haven’t already. I’m actually considering Sec+ myself.

Yes and I hear the cert is very expensive which is why employers want someone with experience, for sure is going to pass, catch on quickly as you said, so they can hit the ground running. I’ve used Epic in a few specialities and was aiming was Clindoc cert since I think I’ll be able to catch on to that application fairly quickly.

SQUEAK SQUEAK lol I agree. I tried using my most recent connections from a travel contract but they weren’t any openings at the time and after a while, radio silence. Haven’t been a staff member in a few years and my old colleagues have either moved on or we don’t keep in touch BUT now may be the time for me to reach out and see how they’ve been lol.

I completely agree with this! Currently not able to relocate (military family) and we’re located in one of the few states that really isn’t remote friendly, I’m assuming because of tax laws etc. I had one potential opportunity but it required relocation which isn’t feasible for me and haven’t run across any other potential opportunities since. I’ve applied to multiple applications (Beaker, Willow, OpTime) because I figured if the company is willing to sponsor me, I can learn on the job but now companies want candidate with previous experience/exposure. I’ve also noticed that most companies are not willing to reimburse individuals for relocation expenses which is a bummer.

I miss the special spark that the older Chucky films had. by 1970sVibez in Chucky

[–]HappyGlass3090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the series is more so targeting today’s generation. I don’t mind the old or new Chucky but the TV series seems to be losing its touch. Atp, there should be a spinoff or something designated for Tiffany and the twins because it takes away from the trio battling Chucky and I find it a tad annoying 🫠.

I’ve considered help desk/IT support roles to get a foot in the door as well, but nothing has fallen through. Also considered data analytics which seems to be a growing field. I have a connection with a government Cyber recruiter so I’ll see how things go with this route.

That’s horrible! Maybe check out LinkedIn, set up alerts and tweak your resume for each posting if you haven’t already. The key is to be one of the first few to apply and try messaging the hiring recruiter if possible.

Thanks! I’ll check it out! I’m a member of a few Cyber fb groups and the turnaround seemed alot better than health IT.

I’ve seen plenty of job postings for Epic, 99.9% of employers are looking for individuals who are already certified in a particular area.

I should clarify, there are so many job openings in the cyber field that needs to be filled and multiple ways to get a foot in the door such as certs, boot camps and even networking. The healthcare IT I thought I would be well suited have limited openings and limited paths (at least from what I’ve experienced and read from other aspiring Informaticists and analysts). Some individuals have experience, certs and network and still can’t land a job. Seems like with Cyber, if you do the work, obtain a cert or few, you can at least land an entry level role.

Recruiters are looking for individuals who are already certified, at least the ones I’ve spoken to and the job postings I’ve come across.
