Unaccredited schools

I have recently graduated from an unaccredited school where I was told it was easy to find a job in Ultrasound for the year requirement. Ha! I now know that it is nearly impossible to find a job. Does anyone have any suggestions for me. I have passed my SPI. I am good at what I do and I am not sure what my next step should be. I have sent out 20 resumes. I have gotten several responses but seem to lose out to other applicants with ARDMS. Thanks

If you had your bachelors you could have avoided the one year of experience requirement and been able to compete with your ARDMS credetials by now.

Uh, Yeah I know that. The point is mute now. I was working per diem at an urgent care clinic and just got hired on full time. Started today. Peace...

win, if you dont mind me asking, how much did they hire you for?

I was hired for $22.00/hr. I work six days a week 48hrs. I really love my job and feel blessed to have it!

can you tell me how you came about that? I am in the exact same boat you were, passed my SPI but no bachelors either. Still looking for employment and getting nervous the longer i dont scan....did it come right back to you when you started again? how long were you out of it before getting hired?

The man who owned the clinical site I was at for externship opened an urgent care center. He asked me to start there per diem until he built up enough business for full time. That happened very quickly and I was hired full time. Other class mates of mine have gotten jobs by volunteering and then being offered a job. Also some have used recruiters to help them find leads. Just don't give up. Hard work will pay off. I always tell people that winners do the things losers don't want to do. Good Luck to you.
