Why didn’t my high school vocational counselor tell me about the available positions in Gynecology?

Because all the slots were filled.

Skill level (how wide-ranging is their practice?; do they just deliver babies and perform pap smears, or do they have experience in other areas of gyn up to and including surgery?)\n\nNumber of years in practice (did it just open last week?)\n\nAcademic background (where did they go to school - respectable med school or was some "other" school in some no name town in some no name country?)\n\nPublications and continued academic interest (do they stay abreast of the gyn trends and updates on disorders, procedures, treatment options, etc. or are they stuck in 1950s medicine?; are they published in the journals, do they present at conferences, are they members of ACOG or other professional organization?)\n\nAre they on the boards or committees of any drug companies?  Research shows over and over that industry sponsored research draws industry positive results - doctors get paid to work with these companies and as such may have skewed judgment in terms of offering one treatment over another based on pro-industry tests, etc.  Kickbacks are ever-present in healthcare, so find out if a drug rep's swag and funding of your doc is going to decide your care, or if the care is based on the best treatment for you.\n\nPatient referrals - this is KEY - you MUST speak to others about the doc, good bad or indifferent feedback can make all the difference...see healthgrades.com or similar site for more on that.\n\nMalpractice background (have they ever been sued, if so what for and what was the outcome?; has the state board censured them in any way, etc.)\n\nBedside manner (do they act like an egomaniacal jerk or are them warm and friendly?)\n\nAfter hours practice (will they be on call and get back to you at 3am on a Sunday morning or will they ignore the call and/or refer it out to a colleague you've never met?)\n\nOffice staff demeanor (are they witches or are they helpful and friendly?)\n\nGeneral appearance of the office itself (is everything nice and clean or is it a dump that should be shut down?)\n\nDo they allow you to be a partner in your care (do they poo-poo every concern and act like you are an over-reacting hypocondriach or do they respect your input to your own health?)\n\nMost of all, do you feel comfortable and confident in them handling your care or do you get bad vibes?\n\nDon't let the male/female thing be a deciding factor...I can understand feeling more comfy with one gender, but base it on skill and everything above, not whether it's a woman or a man.  I've had the worst experiences in my life with women docs who acted like because THEY hadn't experienced something, no woman could.  Not to say there aren't any good female gyns out there, I just haven't found them yet.\n\nGood luck to you and remember THEY work for YOU, not the other way around, and you have choices.  You can leave a practice anytime you want and go elsewhere if it doesn't work out.

Why don't you check out Home Health agencies in your area. The information may be listed in the phone book or even online. Check out monster.com as well. I just looked today and I know they had some positions for nursing.

Colleges have counselors who provide you with free counseling to find a job\nDoes your resume say that you are looking for a specific job or is it vague and leaves the decision up to the employer to figure out what you want to do. An objective of finding an interesting job in management goes into the waste basket. An objective of finding a sales trainee job where I can utilize my strong interpersonal skills gets kicked over to the sales dept. You can also state why you want a job in purchasing or as a personnel assistant. Be specific. Are you only looking at ads or are you taking out the yellow pages and calling companies in your field and asking if you can fax over a resume and to who's attention. Only 10% of all jobs get advertised. Have you told everyone you know you are looking? 70% of people get their jobs through someone they know

It sounds like you were denied entrance to your program because they have a limited number of places and you were either too late or there were others they thought were more qualified.\n\nIf you think you want to be considered based on your athletics ablility, then go for it. Contact the coach and tell him that you would like to run there but only if you can get in the Physical Therapy program.

You'll have to ask the college. Maybe the counselor.

Have you tried contacting your high school?  They might be able to help.  You would probably have better luck online.  Try posting an advertisement in the appropriate geographical area of www.craigslist.com or post a Want Ad on www.ebay.com.\n\nGood Luck!

Were you denied admission to the school or admission to the program of your choice? I know a lot of people at my school would get turned down for a vet tech or nursing degree because the spots fill quickly and there are a lot of qualified applicants. I would call the school and ask them whether you can get into another program or be a non-matriculating (taking courses without being fully enrolled in the school) student. If they allow you to do either of those then you can most likely transfer to the program of your choice. If they still say no, take of 2 or three years and work or go into the military and if you have a HS diploma or GED you should be fine getting in then.\n\nGood Luck!

My daughter finished the program 2 years ago.  She had no trouble finding work...she was hired at the hospital where she interned.\n\nShe did work very hard to complete the program.  It was very intense!\n\nOne thing she did, and I would recommend to prepare is, she took a course in medical terminology at a junior college.\n\nBest of luck!

There may be another reason for the turnabout that has nothing to do with what seemed to be an innocent in-house conversation.\n\nThe school may have kept you in training as long as they could in order to get the maximum tuition payments, then dropped you from the program just prior to graduation. This practice unfortunately is common in vocational schools - perhaps they think you are too old or perhaps they just don't think you will be successful as a welder. \n\nEither way, the sudden turnabout is totally suspicious and your next stop is the vocational education office for the State of Michigan that has been paying for your training. \n\nGood luck, Bill

Ask your counselor. They should know.

You really need to check with your school on that question.  \n\nIf it is for personal reasons, try to get documentation.  For example, if you were sick I would try to get a doctor's note to explain the circumstances. \n\nHope this helps!

Most likely yes, but it depends on what is available in your area.  If your high school doesn't offer such a program, another high school might.  Sometimes vocational schools offer high school credits if there is a demand in their area.  You need to check out all the likely schools in your area.  Any school counselor should be able to direct you to the information you need.\n\nGood luck with it.

Usually, the teaching hospitals will pick the residents that have finished their school portion. It is like you are able to scout around in the fields you are interested, as if job hunting, then those that are interested in you will offer a spot. Good luck!

does your school have like a summer program? That's what I did when I was your age, I talked to one of the counselors and they set up an interview and voila!
