ettezag Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hello WA PAs, I am a new graduate who has been having a difficult time finding jobs that will take me on as a new graduate. I am looking for primary care, urgent care, or ED positions. I would ideally like to stay in the Everett area but am flexible with commuting. Tactics I've applied to all the major hospitals, various clinics, used online sources like Indeed. I have contacted numerous hospital recruiters with a letter of introduction and some have been kind enough to respond and say while no positions are currently open to new grads, they will keep an eye out. I have looked at WAPA's job posting as well. Overall, it has been frustrating submitting an application and having it lost in the void with no follow up -- even a rejection would be nice, so I can cross it off the list. General tips would be appreciated. Thank you for reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELKPA Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 You're not alone. I wish I could offer help, I am a soon to be new grad that's hoping to relocate back to WA. I am just starting to put applications out there, and would also be interested if anyone has advice if this is something I run into as well.

JPMiller Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 LOTS of networking. Ask you classmates, preceptors, friends, etc. Tons of jobs in WA. Before graduation I had sent out some resumes without any responses, but had one friend forward my resume and got a great offer in short order.

ettezag Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Thank you both for responding--sorry for the delay. Still hunting but have 2 interviews coming up. Still pretty rough though.

The WA licensing process was pretty smooth and the DOH staff was very helpful. I know other states really make you jump through hoops, so this was a pleasant surprise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
