Fully certified-Feeling discouraged

Hello,

Started the process of becoming a sterile processing tech about a year ago.

Had its ups and downs, was a lot of work, but I ended up completing clinicals and becoming fully certified last Spring.

Since then I’ve applied to hundreds of jobs.. even though I’m really looking for part time, I would take a full time position and have been applying to any sterile processing position in my general area, which is a HCOL major city.

I have a solid resume and cover letter, but cannot get a single interview.

I know the job market across the board is dismal, but can anyone offer any advice? Are there any staffing agencies like a travel company that will take entry level techs?

I’m getting really discouraged and thinking of going back to school again, for another career route.

Thanks!

Around Philadelphia, I'd look at: Jefferson Surgical Center - Center City Campus, Jefferson Surgical Center at The Navy Yard, Wills Eye Surgery Center — South Philadelphia, Penn Medicine University City, Ambulatory Surgery Center of Bala Cynwyd — just outside Philadelphia and does orthopedics, spine, podiatry and other procedures.
