Looking for a new career!!!?

Im about to nuts!!! I have had so many interviews and for somereason there's something im not doing right, in my opinion the interviews go really well, but i just never hear from the employer!! I work in a mortgage company and we are about to get into tax season which means overtime and includes working holidays, well i just had a baby and i would really like to spend her first holidays with her, you know???


I have experience in clerical/data entry type field.


any suggestions?


I would love to go into a medical field, i recently had an interview with a hospital but didnt get the job, i did really well on the spelling typing and customer survey which is all they tested for, so i dont know what went wrong???

Looking for a new career!!!?
It's a bummer when they don't call you back...I know..


You on the other hand could do something to keep in contact with these people that have interviewed you....


After the interview...send a letter or card thanking the person for giving you an interview...say something like this:


I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for giving me the opportunity to sit and talk with you about the position...(whatever it was)...


I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future and will continue to educate and sharpen my skills that pertain to the job...(whatever it was)...


Something like that...


By doing this...you let these perspective employers know that you for one, appreciate their time they took to interview you...and by you taking the time to actually send a thank you note...it shows that you are a person that follows through, and that you are interested in the job..It's a little token of appreciation and maybe to someone it will stick out in their mind and they will call you back..


There's a lot of competition out there...remember that...and it's harder these days to get a job, than it used to be...


Whatever your skills are, continue to educate yourself in this area...


Go to the library and pick up some books on interviewing and resume writing...Learning to use the correct power words, and adjectives will help you...


Learning some of the tools to help you with interviews will also do nothing but help you...it can't hurt right?


Good luck
Reply:Maybe you could call some of the places where you interviewed and see if anyone would be willing to give you an honest answer about why you didn't get the job. Tell them that you are trying to improve your interview skills and would really appreciate any insight they could give you. Maybe it's something you're doing or saying unintentionally.





Did you--


-bring a resume (without errors)/references/pen with you?


-dress professionally?


-listen more than talk?


-show up on time?


-send a thank you note for the interview?


-not mention that you really wanted more time off to spend with your family? (sorry, but that could count against you)





Also check into your references---someone you think is giving you a good reference might not be.





Sometimes it's just a matter of time until you get the right fit--good luck!
Reply:Try large medical offices they usually need relaible people. Alos look towards state jobs, pay is okay but your hours would be great and no weekends or overtime, great when you have kids. Even county government they should have jobs listed online.


Good luck :-)
Reply:look in medical transcribing /transcription from home.


My neighbor does it %26amp; she does pretty well wrkg 4 hrs a day.


(10-25$ hr) Initially, you'll need to visit Dr office to introduce yourself, hand out flyers etc.. but then you should be able to easily upload work from home. You'll need to take a crash course in cpt codes %26amp; online schools offer all sorts of quick "certificate" programs. You'ld be self employed %26amp; would have to pay for your own health insurance etc so thats


something to consider- Good luck!
