May graduation dates are fast and approaching. The applications for new graduate nurses are coming in to the Clarian system in large numbers. Some of the positions listed may have up to twenty people applying for the same position in a single day.
I receive emails and phone calls from new graduates on a daily basis who are frustrated and anxious that they have not received an interview for a position. Some applicants have applied to the areas of their choices and now those positions are not available any more. They seek our advice on what to do at this point. Some applicants have applied to every position posted regardless on the position just in hopes of getting a call back on something.
My advice to all of these applicants is not to give up. At this point in the year, as a new graduate, you may not have an opportunity to start in the area of your first or even second choice, but any clinical experience is good experience. Also apply to positions wisely, do not just apply to any position that is posted. If the position says it requires experience please do not apply. It is a waste of your time. Spend your energy on the positions that you know that you have a choice to get an interview for.
Be assertive and follow up on your application. Once a position is filled or your application is no longer going to be considered for the position, you will receive an email informing you. If you have received several emails in a row, contact the recruitment staff for advice on why you have not been considered for the positions. Some people say they never receive any communication at all. Upon investigation, they may have listed their email address wrong on the application therefore all communication was not able to go through.
We are here as a resource for all applicants. Remember, there is a person behind all the email and online correspondence. Do not be afraid to contact us because we want you to succeed. We as recruiters want to assist you the best way we can to start your nursing career in a positive way.
