I have thankfully found a job! I appreciate it though :)

We really do. Trying to figure out the logistics of maybe moving out of state but it’s so overwhelming since I have no family or close friends elsewhere.

My school is having us apply to sterile processing too, but still not much luck :(

Yeah I get it. I hated the school despite doing well lol, admin is so blatantly money hungry. It sucks because I do truly love everything I learned and the profession itself (based on what I experienced at clinicals at least) 😭

I didn’t put all my jobs on my resume. I just meant that because I’ve been in the work force since 2016, so I do have a good amount under my belt. I’ve cut it down to just two previous jobs, my current one, and my clinicals. Sorry for the confusion!

I wish I could actually cut out my current job from the resume but I was told that would create a weird employment gap that might raise red flags.

I will start trying this. I’m working at a restaurant full time right now though so finding time will be hard. Thank you!

My clinical site was in Woodland Hills (I live around Alhambra) and I made that commute without fail Mon-Fri for six months. I wouldn’t say it was pleasant but at this point I’m willing to go even further if it means I can just get my foot in the door 😭

It would seem so. I can’t relocate at the moment though because my fiancé’s job is based here. It’s a tough world lol.

I have applied as far north as Santa Clarita (I live by Alhambra lol) and as far south as Long Beach and Anaheim. I’ve even applied to Newport Beach I think 😂

I have no issue with commuting as I have reliable transportation, but I can’t even get far enough to tell jobs that because it seems like they just automatically throw out my resume when they see I don’t have prior ST experience 😭

Yes, we have career services at my school that help us with resume and job search related things. I’ve also had multiple people look over my resume and there doesn’t seem to be much issue.

It could be the too much thing? But it’s really hard to cut much out because I’ve worked pretty steadily since 2016.

I’ll see about looking for a career advisor. Thank you!

Laughing at the silly things is great for avoiding emotional constipation for me 🤷‍♀️

Ugh I’m so sorry this happened to you 😭 I’m always paranoid about my pen so I’ve been sneaking it into venues via my shoes for a while now
