One of the biggest downsides to Nuc Med Tech in this market is the huge lack of employment opportunities. The truth is that for many healthcare positions, the market has been flooded by community colleges who crank out twice as many students in half the time. The cost of running a Nuc Med department is preventing new departments from being created and the turn-over rate in established clinics/hospitals is almost non-existent. The positions simply are not there and companies can afford to be much more selective in the candidates they choose to interview. It is extremely important for job hunters to employ every tool they have just to get an interview. Nuclear Medicine Technologist jobs are very hard to attain in this market, but there are many other healthcare positions that are feeling the same crunch. Ultimately, if you love what you do, you have to keep sending out those resumes and knocking on doors until one of them opens. I really believe it is more important than ever to hire a professional resume service to write your resume. Many companies are weeding out candidates by using word searches and a human being may never even see your resume if you are weeded out by a computer program. Obviously, I am biased since I am a professional writer. However, I can tell you that I have seen many cases where very qualified candidates do not even get passed the first round of computer aided cuts. Nuclear Medicine is a very important diagnostic tool for medical professionals. It is a very rewarding field to be a part of. Good luck in your decision making!
