For Allied Healthcare professionals specially the recent graduates like myself, make a point of visiting clinic and hospitals that employs your profession. Introduce yourself to the Techs and talk with them share information, someone in that circle will be able to refer you to somebody or give you hints to various locations where there's a hiring possibility. No offence to the recruiting industry but I found out that they themselves are hardput to place a recent graduate at a facility it's not them but the facility are weary of hiring new grads, we have a much better chance at placing ourselves than them. But this point of view is only for professions that are in demand but not desperately okay? I know that there are professions where facilities will be scrambling to hire even pre- graduation.Be yourself when speaking with them, one of the things that happened to me was, I went into this hospital to submit my immunization papers for a volunteer job and just decided to drop by the Nuclear Med Department. I met and talked with one of the Techs and after 10 minutes she called her good friend at another hospital to inquire if they needed someone PRN and bottom line she refered me to them and the hospital also took her description of me as a job reference. This is something to think about. :)

Be patient!

Write an article in your field of expertise and find a Web site willing to publish your content for its readers (you probably will not be paid, but you may attract the attention of a recruiter who would otherwise not be receptive to communicating with you).

Resolve to stop seeking a 'j o b' and begin seeking a career. Give yourself permission to be more selective and go after something that is going to be personally satisfying, in addition to paying a reasonable salary.
