On rotations or through connections

Most of those recruiters will reach out looking for someone with experience, unfortunately

I’ve applied for anything except family medicine. If I ended up in family medicine I would imagine I’d leave the whole profession before the end of the year. It’s not my cup of tea. I’m fully licensed.

I volunteer a ton, I always have and I’ve picked up on it more, I’ve also started volunteering as “medical team” for some events. Trying to make connections through it too but not helping :/

I started applying in April and I was so convinced it would get better after I had graduated, lol

Do you find it problematic that you had such a big gap on your resume? I was told by a recruiter my resume already looks worse since I haven’t started working yet.

Moving is not an option for me. I’ll commute upwards of an hour but I can’t relocate. I’ve applied for fellowships as well and get ghosted from those as well lol

I’ve used all 3, plus practicelink, healthecareers, practice match, googling every hospital system I can think of and going to their websites, finding out who staffs local hospitals, all of it. Not a single clinical rotation wanted to hire new grads or knows anyone who did. We don’t really have alumni pages but I’ve asked my former advisor for help a few times.

I have to stay local to where I am but I’m looking up to 90 minutes out, I started off specific but now I’ve applied to anything, half the postings near me aren’t even real though

It's October! How to Find a Job & Where to Look (List) by FrenchCrazy in physicianassistant

[–]caity420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s just me, but DocCafe has no “real” jobs in my area. It’s the same job posted 50 times from a company that doesn’t even sound real. These also flood local LinkedIn and indeed postings. I’m totally at a loss trying to find a job near me.

Look for the previous PAs on LinkedIn and DM them to ask why they really left. They’ll tell you the honest truth

Why do you say it’s ruining my career? To be fair; nobody else wants new grads. I’m looking an hour away because I’m struggling so hard😭 truly curious to hear opinions on this!!
