Finding Shadowing Opportunities and Jobs

[Adomke]

I am currently a teacher and as such have spent most of my life either in school or teaching in a school. I've worked a few retail jobs but other than that I am a little lost as how to go about finding a job outside of an educational setting or just walking into a retail store and applying.

 

How do you go about finding a job as say a CNA, or volunteering at a physical therapy office? I look at websites like indeed and it seems to be slim pickings but I always hear of people getting jobs at physical therapy offices, etc.

You can always google scribing companies in your area. Also, if you've had to go back to school, do well in your classes and professors often have connections that they can share.

Thank you for your response! I thought about scribing but I work as a teacher full time and most scribes have to work full time so my only option really is weekends, summers, and prn.

Check hospital websites specifically.  I usually do a google search for hospitals/clinics and then go to their individual websites and find their career sections.  Not everyone advertises on indeed.  I've also used monster, career builder, etc but some don't post to those sites at all.

Regular job searching websites, like Indeed, commonly have positions posted on there.  The other thing I do is go on google, search all of the hospitals in my area, make a list, and just visit each one of their websites.  Every single one of them had a website with job postings or how to find out about their job postings.
