Yesterday there was a job fair in "the city" and I heard the two large local hospitals would be there. "This is my chance!" I though. Fresh out of school, with all the knowledge I need, waiting for someone to snatch me up. I went out and bought some new dress pants (which made my ass look fabulous, btw) and shirt. After work, I changed in the employee bathroom... I even wore heels. HEELS. It is very rare you will ever see me without my flip flops on so this was serious business. I looked fantastic, even getting a whistle from one of my coworkers when I exited the bathroom.
I drove to the job fair and marched in the building armed with resumes that I even printed on fancy resume paper. I spotted the booth for one of the hospitals and got in line.
20 minutes later it was my turn! I stepped confidently up to the recruiter lady, handed her my awesome resume and went into my speech about recently graduating from the medical assistant program, having my phlebotomy certification and even the fact that I had just completed my externship at the occupational clinic, which is a part of the hospital system. I mean, shit, I already have the hospital name badge so I'm pretty much already an employee, right? Just hire me!
Recruiter: HAVE YOU VISITED OUR WEBSITE YET? *smile smile*
Me: Yes, I have. I've applied for about 15 jobs on there in the past month.
Recruiter: OH OK WELL KEEP TRYING!! NICE TO MEET YOU THANKS FOR COMING! *smile*
... Oh, ok. Thanks.
