Nursing Job Canada

For newly graduated nurses the hunt for the first job can be filled with anxiety. You may not be able to apply with the hospital or clinic of your choice since most require employees with experience. But since you need to start somewhere you’ll have to set your sights a little lower until you gain enough work experience. So to get started, read what you must do in order to bag your first job.

• Read the want ads carefully. Many candidates make the mistake of not connecting job requirements with what they have to offer employers and end up wasting precious time.

• Your resume should be detailed and to the point. If you don’t have a flair for writing, examine those written by resume writers on websites.

• Think like a professional. Your clothes and attitude should speak professionalism so take care with what you wear to interviews. Potential employers expect you to be nervous but try not to say ‘This is my first job, I’m so nervous’. It will only make you appear to lack confidence.

• Don’t be afraid to ask questions like the duties and work schedule of the post you’re applying for. Bring up salary queries only towards the end of the interview.

• Don’t expect to score on your first attempt. Keep applying and sitting for interviews till you’re hired.
