Hi,
Have just completed Certificate III in Aged Care Work about a month ago. I am having a lot of trouble finding a job. I have tried nursing agencies but they require at least 6months experience. How do I get experience when no one gives me a job? I have dropped my resume to about 40 aged care centres in my area and locally and nothing yet. Any tips/ideas on how i can find a job? Any of you out there that have completed the same certificate and found a job please let me know how.
Thanks.
Diu
