By Sid | September 7, 2008
The number of open registered nurse jobs continues to outpace the number of registered nurses available.
Because of the number of unfilled job listings, employers are forced to utilize other employment services, such as traveling nursing agencies, and temporary and contract staffing.
For the Registered Nurse looking for new job in nursing in 2008, the prospects are pretty good. There are a number of job listing websites with dedicate Nursing Jobs, links to local and national nursing recruiters, Travel Nurse Employers, and local salary information.
Internet Job Sites such as GOJobs.com list over 20,000 nursing jobs, from Emergency Room nurses, OR nurses, traveling nurses, Critical Care Nurses, and many other RN jobs.
Studying the company you are applying for a position with may also help you decide if you really are a good fit for the job and the company- no need to spend time applying for a position and going through the interview process only to find out after you’re hired that there is some major reason you’d have not to want to work there.
You can make an even better impression in an interview if you know some background about the company you are trying to land a job with. Read the job description and experience required sections of the job posting thoroughly, search jobs and think of some talking points to show the interviewer. This will demonstrate that you know what the job entails and you can give them specific examples of how you qualify.
One of the best practices’ to finding Nurse Jobs online, is to use job agents.
Job Agents are simple email notifications. They are easy to set up, and can be used for a variety of reasons, besides just finding a new job. Once set up. A job agent will send you an email anytime a new job(s) fit your search criteria.
Job Agents can be used for a lot more than just “Finding a job”.
There are a lot of advantages to creating job agents…
1. Get updates on local companies, looking for people like yourself.
2. Get updates on what local companies are paying for different positions.
3. Find out if there are jobs at your companies competitors.
4. Keep up to date on how many employers are hiring for different positions.
5. Get updates on Job openings at your EXISTING Employer!
6. Get updates on jobs that you are in training for, or are looking to start a career in.
Cover letters are your chance to stand out among the crowd of applicants and prove what kind of an asset you’d be to the company. In addition, cover letters are a great “in” if you are sending an unsolicited resume (i.e. you are not responding to a job posting). As you may know, many companies only publish a portion of their open positions.
