Still Job Hunting

Published September 2, 2009 8:16 AM by Beverly Clayton
I passed certification! Now comes the difficult task of finding my career. There are and have been sooo many opportunities, so much so that I turned down two job offers and an interview for a position that I believed was right that now I am still looking for my dream position.

I was told this week that the position I believed to have landed in my lap was put on the back burner due to high turnover and financial difficulties. I wanted to tell the physician so badly, "Do you realize what I gave up waiting for you guys to make a decision!?" but I just thanked him for his time and chalked it up to "things happen for a reason" column.

My mentor informed me that since I did not have anything in writing, I should have at least accepted the interview, you do not know how much I am kicking myself right now that I was not more savvy.

 I did go back to the previous job offers, but of course they had already filled the position but they did say they would keep me in mind ... that's comforting.

So with certification behind me, I can now concentrate on obtaining my COA, and reading journals and getting reacquainted with my friends and family. Does this kind of thing only happen to me, am I the only one that is so picky that she cannot see the forest for the trees? Well, I decided to post my resume with national companies and see what happens, I am not letting another opportunity pass my by.
