From Living in the Los Angeles Hotels Jungle to Looking for Hotels in Las Vegas
Changing Scenery
Nothing this fancy, but I still want something nice.
I'm planning on moving really soon and I've been recently searching for a new job at a Hospital facility. I've spent a few years living in Los Angeles and I certainly enjoyed the people and the landscape. However I feel it's time for a change (I'm usually known for my wanderlust, so it's not a surprise) and I've decided to join my brother who is currently living in Las Vegas. This should be a great change of scenery and pace for me. I've never stayed at Las Vegas (at least not any more than a couple nights spent wondering through Las Vegas hotels as I hit the casinos) so I'm looking forward to this new experience.
I've been spending the last few months in a pretty spectacular hotel in Los Angeles (although, to be honest I'm not an expert in the Los Angeles Hotels scene, I just checked Expedia for information.) I just couldn't secure my next place of residence before my rent contract ended so I thought I'd stay until I could find something in Las Vegas. I've heard that it's not that hard to find something to rent over there and I definitely don't want to spend more than a few weeks living in hotels. Thankfully, my brother is already helping me to find something so luckily that will be taken care of in the next few weeks.
Job Hunting
I'm a physician and this relocation means that I'll be looking for a new job in one of the hospitals in Las Vegas. Since I've done this before, I know a few tricks and tips that will save me a lot of time and boost my chances. I usually try to go for hospitals with a good reputation, as that is great for building my own resume. It might be harder to get into them, but usually the pay-off is that much greater.
What I usually do, is start with the hospital's website. Nowadays, most renowned hospitals (if not all) will have a website with their information. This is both a prime way to find out all the projects the hospital has under their wing, as well all the pertinent information you need to get a leg up in the interview that you will be (hopefully getting.) The second reason why this is great, is that I can send my resume right away to the department that I'm targeting.
If possible, I usually follow my e-mail with a call to talk to someone at the department and let them know who I am. I tell them that I'm interested in a position and get some information about any possible job openings. I usually keep in touch about once in a fortnight or month, depending on how busy I am. I will probably take things lightly for the first weeks while I'm looking for hotels in Las Vegas, I checked this website for information so far, but I'll take my time. I can tell you that desperately searching for accommodation in Los Angeles wasn't funny at all, so I'm not rushing this time. After I'm settled I'll put all my energies into building a nice contact network with the local health facilities. Wish me luck!
