Career Guide
Your Career in the 21st Century
Gone are the days when the only way to find a job was by pouring over the classifieds in your local newspaper with a red pen or hoofing it around town with a stack of resumes. Although those techniques may still work at times, they are by no means the norm anymore. Job searching—and even career networking—has now gone high tech.
What’s the Most Important Quality to Look for in an Oncology Nursing Candidate?
An oncology nurse candidate must have a deep inner drive to see life in death, to see hope in fear, to see love in hatred. She must be able to see past the disease and look at the person it is occupying—to help pull that person back to health. If unable to restore health, she must assist patients with dignity and care in living their life the best possible way they can.
There’s More to a Career Than Just Your Job
Your career is the culmination of your interests, talents, and goals. A career gives you a sense of fulfillment beyond a paycheck and health insurance. A job is just one part of pursuing your career. Many career opportunities are available outside of your workplace.
