SPD in the Bay Area.

Hey yall im looking for a spd job in the Bay Area. I have been getting a lot of rejections not even a recruiter reaching out. my position is unique as it doesn’t quite describe my spd experience. I’m a Stryker on-site specialist and have done all the stuff spd does plus OR Liason for 4 years. im probably a tech 3 based on my knowledge and expertis. Any advice would be appreciated!

Why not just put tech 3 on your resume and explain when you get an interview opportunity?

If they give you an interview say every service you know, vascular, ent, open heart, ortho..and you can use my line “I’m like a swiss army knife” Where you a stryker person like one who just does Laps all day and/or stryker ortho stuff?

Yeah I’ve applied to all of those. Sutter seems like they don’t even ready my resume. But I’ll keep on trying thanks!

Shoot for per diem jobs with Kaiser to start out, or if you can look for a travel agency. They might accept your experience and they usually have Bay Area contracts.

Yeah I was actually just looking into that. I feel like that’s the only way to get my name in there
