The job search environment can be rather difficult to navigate, as there are so many others competing for positions that you might be interested. The healthcare job search environment can be even more difficult, as there are plenty of additional certifications, licenses, experience, or degrees that are needed to even have your application or resume considered for the position. Job seekers need to constantly innovate their job search methods to ensure that they remain competitive, and can reduce the amount of worry and uncertainty they experience in their job search process. The good news, is that there are several easy ways you can improve your job search for the healthcare industry - and they only take a few minutes to implement. 1.) Conduct Your Research One of the critical mistakes that plenty of healthcare job seekers make is to not conduct enough research on the potential hospital or healthcare facility that they are applying to. When individuals begin searching for a new job, the first thing they typically review is the application. Typically job seekers will read through the job posting and determine whether or not they can realistically see them working in that role, and then quickly apply. The problem with this, is that many large job sites and job boards have a one-click method to apply, and they submit their application with ease to various healthcare jobs that they come across. This means that job seekers aren’t conducting thorough research on the job or the healthcare facility or hospital where the job is currently available. This means that a lot of job seekers are submitting applications without truly getting an idea of whether or not the healthcare facility is somewhere they’d truly like to work, or if they even meet all of the desired qualifications for the job. One great way of separating yourself from other job candidates and job seekers is to conduct thorough your search on the job you’re applying for, and the facility you might be working in. When you do this, you can craft your application and resume around the job posting and the facility itself, thus making you stand out more than the other candidates who submit a generic application or resume. 2.) Evaluate Your Resume Another easy thing you can do to improve your healthcare job search is to review your resume. It’s conventional wisdom that the job search process is partially a numbers game. But the reality of the situation, is that the more in-depth and tailored resume and application you submit, the more likely you are to advance to the next consideration phase. The problem with crafting a generic resume and using it in every application that you submit for a healthcare job, is that you are missing a prime opportunity to market yourself to hiring managers and healthcare recruiters. One essential way that you can stand out and make your healthcare job search a little easier is to review your resume and make sure that it accurately reflects your experience and skillset as a healthcare professional. For example, if you are a Registered Nurse seeking an RN position, then you should cater your resume to accurately reflect the skills that are mentioned in the job posting, if you have used them or learned them in your time as a Registered Nursing professional. In doing so, this will help you separate yourself from those other candidates who might list irrelevant skills on their resume or application like “Adobe Illustrator”, when they are applying to various healthcare jobs. This will help you stand out as a healthcare job candidate who more closely aligns with what the healthcare facility or hospital are looking for. 3.) Examine Your Cover Letter Another thing you can do to make your job search process a little easier in the healthcare industry is to tailor your cover letter. The objective is to tailor your cover letter for each job you apply to. When you tailor your cover letter for each job you apply to - you can use specific language mentioned in the job posting. The objective in any job search is to showcase that your skills and experience match what the hospital or healthcare facility is looking for. One of the key ways to do that is to make sure that your cover letter closely aligns with the language and descriptions of the job used in the job application. Take the time to detail why you should be considered for the position by mentioning some of the things in the job posting. For instance if one of the requirements of the job is to have, “previously worked with various patients in a team environment.” One thing you should most definitely include in your cover letter should be along the lines of, “I feel I would make a good candidate for the position due to the fact that I have previous experience working in a group setting and treating patients in a team environment. 4.) Use Healthcare Niche Sites Another easy way to improve your healthcare job search is to use niche sites. As mentioned above, one of the common conventions is to apply to a wide range of jobs with the intention that you ultimately strike gold. For instance, using the one-click methods to apply to jobs, one could easily apply to a hundred jobs a week. This means that healthcare hiring managers and recruiters are having to sift through hundreds of applications, and a lot of them might be accidental or spam. Unfortunately, this means that qualified healthcare professionals are being buried under other candidates who aren’t even remotely qualified for the position they are applying to. To combat this, healthcare recruiters and hiring managers are turning to more efficient methods of selecting qualified candidates. One of these efficient methods is niche-oriented job sites. One such niche job site for the healthcare industry is HospitalCareers.com. HospitalCareers is the leading recruitment platform for healthcare job seekers with over 25,000 healthcare jobs, career advice, and career insights. On healthcare niche sites, healthcare recruiters can find qualified talent directly without having to sort through the spam applications that might arise from the one-click apply sites like ZipRecruiter or Indeed. This means that you can separate yourself from those other candidates who are being buried underneath other large job boards, and truly stand out as one of the most qualified candidates in the entire candidate pool. Conclusion In an increasingly competitive job search environment, individuals need to take extra steps to ensure that they take the steps needed to improve their job prospects. With a few simple and easy to implement methods that we covered above, you can make your healthcare job search a little bit easier.
