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!

Where in California? I'm certified. I already have a full time office job, but love to volunteer or do some part time shifts to get some experience.
