Getting Hired as a Phlebotomist Without Experience

You know the Catch 22. Everyone says they only hire phlebotomists who have experience, but how are you supposed to get experience if nobody will hire you? Getting hired without experience isn't impossible, you just have to know how to work around the obstacles between you and an interview. This video gives new phlebotomist strategies on how to have the "experience needed" requirement waived.

    The thing is, after all this time can you confidentially draw blood still? I recently got out of phlebotomy school, its been 6 weeks of me trying to find a job, I finally got a job interview yesterday, in fact, and guess what I couldn't find her stinking vein!!!! So embarrassing. I was like, I am so sorry, I was doing so well by the end of my schooling It has been 6 weeks.... I doubt I will hear back. I am so disappointed and am losing all confidence and am feeling like I should just find something else. Feeling like school was a waste of money. She was very nice and said the only way to get better is practice... well who is gonna let me practice????

    That is bad advice and incorrect advice. Nobody, but nobody has resumes on file from people who walked in off the street. The second you leave your resume and walk out the door, it is round-filed or shredded. Trust me. The only way to get your name into Human Resources is to apply for a job online only. If there are no positions available, there is nothing to apply for. Nobody accepts paper resumes anymore. You don't mail it, you don't fax it, nor do you walk in off the street to hand it to someone. You need to give some real advice and tell people where to go to get a job. Not how to get the job. Bad advice because it'll never happen that way. Most places won't even take your resume from you.

    Center for Phlebotomy Education No I didn't misunderstand anything. You do not go to HR to complete an application. It is only online. They don't accept people walk again off the street. It just does not work that way anymore. You fill out an application online and that is how they screen you out. If you put a zero when they ask how many years of experience you have, they no longer look at your application. Even if you have a job interview it is either with the human resources department then possibly they send you to the lab to meet with the lab supervisor. If you follow up and call them, you leave a message but very rarely do they have a return a call. Same thing with email that's how they initially contact you after you apply online and after your interview if you follow up with an email it goes unanswered. It is absolutely ridiculous. Things are not the way they used to be.

    Actually I hand carried my resume to HR then went up to the Lab and asked to meet the Phlebotomy Mgr. just as he advised. I had a nice friendly short conversation with the Mgr. and she called me in for an interview the following week. In the interview she flat out said she was impressed by my initiative of bringing in my resume and and respectfully asking to meet her. Needless to say the interview went very well and I was hired. In my experience many hospitals and clinics accept both online and personally bringing them in.

    Character goes a long way. When u can present that to people live, u leave them with good impression..and they at least feel like they know u, whether they like u or not. People get hired for different reasons. Not just informational things. I can tell by your comment you have the personality of a donkey. That's why you only know one way of getting hired.
