I would greatly appreciate any guidance, tips, or general information on how to gain more traction in my job search and increase my chances of securing a position that aligns with my Health Care Compliance and Regulations degree. Thank you for your assistance. Do you have any advice, questions, or tips on how to overcome the challenges I am facing in my job search?
Background Information: I hold a bachelor's degree in Healthcare, Compliance and Regulations, and I am actively seeking a job that aligns with my educational background. Despite my strong qualifications and experience in the front and back office as a certified medical assistant, I am facing challenges in obtaining interviews due to the extensive experience requirements listed in most job listings. In addition to my medical assistant background, I have volunteered for over 700 hours in a prominent healthcare organization in the state, gaining valuable exposure to the healthcare industry. Moreover, I possess a comprehensive understanding of Microsoft suites, which has proven beneficial in various administrative and operational tasks. Furthermore, I have approximately six months of internship experience in my field of expertise. During my internship, I worked on several significant projects, including risk assessment and mitigation planning, policy and procedure development and management, and incident reporting and investigations. Despite my qualifications and experiences, I am encountering difficulty securing a role that aligns with my career goals and degree. I have participated in a few interviews, and while no negative feedback was provided, it became evident that my lack of experience compared to other applicants was a significant barrier. Volunteering is an option I am open to; however, the majority of opportunities available require commitments during standard business hours, which conflict with my current schedule. I would greatly appreciate any guidance, tips, or general information on how to gain more traction in my job search and increase my chances of securing a position that aligns with my Health Care Compliance and Regulations degree. Thank you for your assistance. Do you have any advice, questions, or tips on how to overcome the challenges I am facing in my job search?
How can one stand out beyond meeting expectations in an interview. What does going above and beyond in an interview look like beyond the standard “best practices”.?
I’ve been on interviews where I know I meet the requirements, I have the qualifications, and I am both calculated and personable during the interviews, meeting all the industry standards and applying techniques but still get passed up on opportunities that I’d be perfect for? I’ve nailed many interviews but it seems the ones that are most important to me do not go in my favor. How can I change that by being memorable and desired in the workforce?
How can a teen trying to get in a bakery experience get an internship at a small business?

How can I get job interviews consistently?
I’ve been trying to find my first job for a very long time. I already customize every resume to each job application that I submit. Even though I am looking for my first job, I do have substantial volunteer experience (5 years). I know that job searching is a numbers game, but it doesn’t make sense to me to submit 500 applications for only one to advance me to the interview stage – I’d rather focus my time and energy on crafting my application to get to the interview every time or most of the time. Is there anything I can do to increase my odds of getting a job interview and/or get feedback on why I’m not being considered?
