Every job I apply for requires experience I have been applying for over seven months now and only have obtained one interview..I'm thinking of going to school to become a CNA which is a step down from what I'm already trained for. The only reason I'm doing this is I'm hoping that it will be easier to obtain a job with a CNA certificate cause I've been told that they will usually hire without any experience.. and I'm hoping this will help me to gain experience to get my foot in the door in the medical field. Does any one know if this is true I live in Florida and things seem to be especially hard here any help would be appreciated guy thanks..

Your community college where you got your AS should have a placement office. They also should have an internship or similar program where you can start getting some experience. See your placement office at school. Look into internship programs for new grads, even if they are unpaid, but they will certainly be low-paid. Do NOT step down into a lower-level job. If you are going back to school, move UP into the next level!

A medical profession is always worth considering, from nurses and consultants right down to hospital cleaning personnel. The site in the box below has some great tips on signing up to this splendid line of work. My brother got some great assistance from there prior to landing a profession as a medical admin assistant.
