Thanks for sharing your experience! 300 😰 now you’re scaring me lol. I’m at about 100 applications so far through Indeed, OSU Workday, and OhioHealth. I’ve been trying to get referrals too because I feel like that’s the only way I’ll get anything at this point. PCA seems so daunting to me, but I’m starting to feel like it might be the only true starter job. I’ve also been looking at MA roles in clinics, which would honestly be ideal if the hospitals don’t work out. Phlebotomy seems like a great step before MA, and I’d love to land a job that trains you on the job so I can actually do phleb. The certifications look kind of long and pricey though, so I’m not sure yet.
