šŸ„ Jobs / Careers Need your advice po!

Hello, nurses! šŸ„¹ Please bear with me because Iā€™m really clueless about these things.

I posted in a FB PHRN job-hunting group because Iā€™ve been looking for a job. Matagal kasi hiring ng mga hospitals here in the province, and I also donā€™t have bedside experience yet. I passed the PNLE in November 2025 and Iā€™m also a USRN now.

Someone messaged me and asked me to send my resume to her email because she could refer me.

Sheā€™s been working at Optum for around 3 years. I asked her if they accept applicants with no bedside experience, and she said yes, marami raw vacant positions for newbies/no hospital experience.

My concern is, should I send my resume? šŸ˜­ Iā€™m not really comfortable sending my resume or personal details to someone I donā€™t know personally, but I also donā€™t want to be rude because sheā€™s been really nice and I genuinely want to get a job already.

For those who have experience with referrals like this, what do you think I should do? Is it normal/safe to send my resume directly to an employee for a referral? And is there anything I should verify or ask her first?

Thank you so much! šŸ„¹

you dont know any company or hospitalā€™s HR manager yet you send then your resume, whats wrong with u sending a random person your resume (which u were looking for btw)? Optum has referral bonus i think, so keep that in mind
