Worked in retail & mail order for the last 5 years. Moved recently to SoCal (am licensed), but am having a hard time finding jobs. The only opportunities seem to be CVS and Walgreens without a residency/fellowship.

What type of resume/interview tips do you have for getting into a job that you are not qualified for? I am not even hearing back from Per Diem or retail positions.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! I have looked into some VA positions previously but never heard back. My friend who works in another state at the VA said it's quite difficult to get a position within the VA.
