Has anyone made a lateral move within a hospital without a clinical background?

I've been a cook for 16 years and I'm ready to get out of the kitchen. My position is casual so shifts aren't guaranteed. I've been applying externally but nothing is biting. Recently applied for an internal Messenger role as a first step. Any advice on what roles are realistic without clinical experience?

Do you have any additional degrees or certifications?

like

Employers usually don't require a college degree and they pay employees at an hourly rate. It's often used as an entry level position, so doesn't usually require much in the way of additional education or experience

like

MA certification is the way to go. You also have med receptionists, Physical Therapy Aide that don’t require any formal education. There are options; you just have to look.

I would recommend applying for administrative positions as a starting point. If you have any knowledge or experience using Microsoft Office programs, that would be a skill that is useful for admin jobs. You could also try starting in a mail room or applying for any entry level positions that aren’t asking for specializations or specific clinical degrees. There are also 3rd party medical transport companies that are always looking for drivers if you have a clean license. Best of luck with your endeavors!

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
