I am very frustrated with job hunting. I've been looking for 5 months (contracting is not working out) and I've done countless interviews, had more background checks than I can count & am waiting to hear back from three places currently. The 3 potential employers I have been interviewing with for almost a month, 1 actually made an offer with no start date, 1 "is just waiting on reference check", and the other needs a 3rd on site interview and background check. What do I need to do to get a job?

I’m sorry to hear about your hassles in job searching. Are you licensed? If so, I know better help and growth therapy and a few other online companies are always hiring. Definitely might be something to consider to hold you over in the meantime.

Plentiful for fully licensed. I am a registered intern with about a year to go. Plus I live in an area with 3 universities so I feel it's saturated.

Are you focusing specifically on therapy roles?

The search can be maddening for sure! I've been searching off and on for the better part of a year and still haven't found something new. I'm looking to leave direct care/therapy work, though. I'm also almost exclusively focising on remote roles, so I ditch the commute and actually be around to help get my daughter off to school in the AM.

Therapists in Tech is a great community to network, members post jobs, knowledge share, etc. Highly recommend.
