Christine Whitmarsh, RN, BSN<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As a freelance medical writer and writing business owner for several years now, I\u2019ve had my fair share of experience with the fluctuating economy and survival tactics to stay financially afloat. One of my most reliable standby methods of doing this is to continuously stay registered with several temporary employment agencies.\u00a0 Despite having to sometimes adopt the identity of \u201cjust a temp,\u201d I\u2019ve found that there are excellent benefits of working with professional recruiters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Travel nurses and staff nurses can also benefit from this way of thinking.\u00a0 Travel nurse recruiting agencies can be your active job search partner, seeking out new travel nursing jobs<\/strong><\/a> before they are even advertised.\u00a0 In addition to your normal job search methods including networking on job boards, submitting your resume through job sites such as monster.com, and developing relationships with human resource departments at hospitals you would like to work at, be sure and follow up with your recruiter or recruiters, instead of waiting for their phone call.<\/p>\n

It is also smart and creative to approach your job search from the standpoint of a business owner instead of as an employee. You are, in many ways, the CEO of your own company and it is up to you to make it a financial success. Networking, following up, aggressively researching leads on the internet and developing clever ways to market yourself, are all effective entrepreneurial tools that should not be limited to small business owners. Travel nurses should see themselves as owners of an ever-changing company with locations all around the country and a diverse list of clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n
