As you may have read, job opportunities in the health care industry are expected to expand through the year 2018, and the position of phlebotomy technician is no exception. The recent recession has obviously had a drastic impact on many career fields as companies downsize or reallocate employees, but if you’re seeking employment as a phlebotomy technician, you’ll notice many openings available throughout the country in a variety of settings. Here’s what you need to know about searching for an opening as a phlebotomy technician.
Job Placement Assistance at Your School
If you have already completed or are in the course of finishing a phlebotomy certification training program, chances are that the school or institution you are or have attended has job placement assistance. This is very common at local community colleges and vocational schools and is often one of the most overlooked and underutilized assets of receiving your professional phlebotomy technician training. Call your school or visit their internet web site to determine whether or not they offer job placement assistance and if so, contact a representative to discuss your qualifications, requirements, and openings available in your area of choice.
Use the American Hospital Directory
Another great resource which many people looking for an opening as a phlebotomy technician don’t utilize is the American Hospital Directory. This can be a great place to construct a list of local clinics and hospitals in your area. Once you have compiled a local list, you can directly search the job listings on the hospital web sites. Be sure to keep a list of any openings as you search through web pages so that you’ll know which ones have openings later on for resume submission.
Search for Local Blood Banks
With the advent of search engines on the internet, it’s now very easy to find local facilities by ZIP code or town name. Try conducting an internet search for blood banks in your area and again, search each web site individually for any phlebotomy technician openings. You can combine this list with your previous list from the American Hospital Directory.
Search for Private Medical Labs
Another search technique is to scour the web for local private medical labs. These are often large employers for the phlebotomist and although they may often not offer the same level of benefits packages that hospitals do, they do very often pay higher salaries.
