"Once they see the number of cases you've done, you should get an interview no problem."
"There are tons of jobs in this area, you should have no problem landing a position"
At my last clinical rotation, they let me to believe that there was an open position there and they told me:
"If you do well, consider this your orientation."
That turned out to be false. Then it turned to:
"It's unheard of that one of grads doesn't have a position 30 days after graduation."
It's over 2 months since graduation and now I'm hearing:
"It'll happen" and "Don't worry, you'll get a job."
I recently talked to a colleague who graduated the same time I did. She was in a class of 12 and only 4 of them landed a job. I should be comforted that its not just me and this is not a unique situation but it is unique to me. I cant help but think about the "what if, would have, could have and should haves". Such as:
- What if I listened to my advisor and pursued being a Physician Assistant when she brought it up to me in my Junior year at Rowan?
- What if I went to the Post-Bach program at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine instead of going to UMDNJ?
- What if I took the MCAT one more time?
- What if I gave pursuing that MD or DO degree one more chance?
- What if I went to that perfusion conference?
- What if I made a mistake about my career path?
- What if I'm doing something wrong?
I can name all the 'what ifs' in the world and alot more should have, could have and would haves. But I reminded myself if it should have been, it would have been because God would have made it that way. So will be continue to be patient, live up to my potential and live the life that God has already planned out for me.
Keep on evolving.
