34 // You’ve Got the Degree, So Why Can’t You Land a Nursing Job?

The Ambitious Nurse | RN, Nursing Career, Nursing Job Opportunities

🩺 In this episode, I share a real-life coaching experience with a nurse who had a doctoral degree in education (EdD) but struggled to land a job in education. Despite her impressive credentials, she wasn’t getting any callbacks. The problem? Her resume didn’t reflect the experience she needed for the roles she was applying for.
I break down three key strategies that can help YOU avoid the same pitfalls and start landing interviews for the positions you truly want:
1️⃣ **Tailor Your Resume:** Make sure your resume is aligned with the job description. ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) doesn’t care about your degree if they can’t see the relevant experience.
2️⃣ **Highlight the Right Skills:** Don’t forget to include critical skills in your resume that reflect the role you’re pursuing, whether it's education, project management, or quality improvement.
3️⃣ **Network Strategically:** While your resume is essential, networking is often the game-changer. Show up where the right people can see you, and let them know you’re serious about advancing your nursing career.
