The employment picture for white and blue collar workers as well as health care professionals remain unaffected. It’s a bright picture that gets brighter as the job market regains momentum. Even the health care segment of information technology is showing signs of a comeback. Some of the medical areas that can’t seem to fill jobs fast enough are:

• Assistant Clinical Coordinator

• Certified Nurses Aides

• Computer Office Specialists

• Diagnostic Ultrasound Technicians

• Echocardiovascular Technicians

• EKG and CPR Technicians

• Home Health Aides

• Medical Assistants (CAN)

• Medical Billing Specialists

• Medical Coding Specialists

• Medical Transcription

• Mental Health Therapy Aide Technicians and Trainees

• Pharmacists

• Pharmacy Technicians

• Phlebotomy Technicians

It may surprise you to know that many health care jobs do not require applicants to have college level credentials. For example, hundreds of reputable vocational schools in the U.S. can make you job ready in 3 to 9 weeks as a Certified Nurse Aide with guaranteed externships; as a Pharmacy Assistant, to assist pharmacists; as a Phlebotomy Tech, to draw blood; or as a computer Medical Biller for coding and handling claims.

One health care employment area that is especially hard to fill is Home Care Aides. The jobs are drawing top pay rates, sign-on, quarterly and referral bonuses, provide flexible schedules (Part or Full Time), and medical benefits. Additional incentives are provided to applicants who are fully bilingual (English and Spanish).

You can qualify for dozens of good paying jobs in less than 2 months, with placement assistance, low tuition or pay as you go. Make sure that the vocational school you choose is licensed by the Education Department in your Sate, as required by law.

Knowledge is good medicine. Pass it on!TM
