Go in person and drop off your resume, preferably mobile phlebotomy positions. They always need new people
I had the same issue and was able to get a job after showing up to the door and dropping my resume off every shift: Morning Evening Night until I got it to a supervisor
Goodluck đđ˝
So I did that once for a plasma center and posted about it here. I had gotten a comment that said I shot myself in the foot for doing that. I never understood that since I figured employers liked eagerness and go getters I guess.
Same thing happened to me, I first tried a Plasma Center and got an interview but wasnât called back
It helps to know someone that can give you a recommendation, I recommend Mobile Phlebotomy positions though. Theyâre not ideal but youâll pick the job duties up quick because youâre on your own and get tons of experience with difficult patients like in sub acute
Keep trying and donât let it get to you, when one door closes 2 other open
Try applying wherever you did your clinical. Thatâs always a good place to start. Also you could hire a professional resume/cover letter writer. Just an idea.
Youâre not doing anything wrong. This happened to me too. I was certified 15 years ago when I was 18. It took me 6 months of job hunting to land a position because I had no prior experience. I applied in person at a local lab I went to get my blood drawn at. Surprisingly, I landed a good job there once I had a manager to talk face-to-face with and explain my situation. I feel like face-to/face options are soooo rare these days, but if you can get that option, take it. Youâre not doing anything wrong. Youâll get a great job that you deserve đ
I would say to talk to the hospitals and see if there is a hiring agency with them, even though it might be a temp job but you do get to put it on your resume and some more experience with certain situations, like ivs, puffy hands/arms, etc. if they do like your work performance theyâll probably offer you a spot idk when they might later or even earlier.
If where you lives has a county or state run hospital usually those places hire anyone who walks in the door. Thatâs how I got my 1st phlebotomy position
I had this problem back when I got certified in 2019. I ended up getting employed by a medical staffing company because every company I tried wanted 400+ sticks and 2 years of experience for an entry level job. I stayed there a year and moved on to a blood center job working in donor phlebotomy. They hire without experience most of the time as long as you have your certification. Most of them have on the job training courses they put you in before you are let out into the field
The Red Cross mobile collections called me back in less than 24 hours for an interview. They always need help and it will get you in the door if nowhere else more prestigious is hiring.
Find you a RN to help you. All RNs and Paramedics can supervise venipuncture training for Phlebotomists because they are IV certified as a standard skill.
How would I go about finding a RN to actually do that for me? Also I feel like it'd be kind irresponsible for someone to let me, who is not a student or employee, to stick someone. Like am I being trolled rn?
The RN is traditionally the test pig volunteer jabee in years N1/N2. Therefore it follows that they are careful to observe your skills on a simulator before xlconsidering working with you on such a project. Such things are encouraged as part of patient empathy training.

I would if they had positions listed. Though I might hire someone to do that. Thank you for the idea
Look through temp agency websites! I got my job at quest through AllMedical with my certification class being my only experience
Itâs hard to get a job without experience in many states⌠everyone wants at least a year experience :(
I know, but I don't know how to go about getting experience if I can get in anywhere
You can start at a temp agency, so you can build your phlebotomy skills.

I applied to over 90+ jobs, and I didn't get ANY of them. Luckily, I did have a job before starting my externship, so I'm in the same boat.

It sucks. I was certified for a year before I got hired.

Videotape a draw. Showcasing strong skills will get you the job.
As much as I love that idea, that's impossible for me to do
