Getting Hired as a Phlebotomist Without Experience 

Thank you, D. Laura! Good luck with the strategy. Let me know how it works out.

Do you offer visa sponsorship for Phlebotomy Technician?

You are welcome!

I have done this. I have interviewed at three different places and I thought I did well enough but I never have been chosen.

You are so welcome. Good luck.

You are right, Rashida B. Covid changed everything... temporarily we hope.

We're not as familiar with hiring in the NHS as we are in the U.S. It could. Check with someone at NAP (phlebotomy.org) if you have a contact there for the right strategy.

Lmao ikr

No they won't. If u have the right attitude and likeable person, they never do.

this was 6 years ago ....

Maybe u just weren't good.

Grandpa full of knowledge and integrity.

good luck

Right

This is pretty true! Lately all the jobs I’ve been offered i interacted with a recruiter. Not even someone from the company , but I have totally gotten jobs in this manner before.

Any updates?

Same here. I paid $3000 for school and passed NHA test 4 years ago. Just renewed my license for the 2nd time without never being hired..What school said and the reality was very different.

The thing is, after all this time can you confidentially draw blood still? I recently got out of phlebotomy school, its been 6 weeks of me trying to find a job, I finally got a job interview yesterday, in fact, and guess what I couldn't find her stinking vein!!!! So embarrassing. I was like, I am so sorry, I was doing so well by the end of my schooling It has been 6 weeks.... I doubt I will hear back. I am so disappointed and am losing all confidence and am feeling like I should just find something else. Feeling like school was a waste of money. She was very nice and said the only way to get better is practice... well who is gonna let me practice????

Center for Phlebotomy Education No I didn't misunderstand anything. You do not go to HR to complete an application. It is only online. They don't accept people walk again off the street. It just does not work that way anymore. You fill out an application online and that is how they screen you out. If you put a zero when they ask how many years of experience you have, they no longer look at your application. Even if you have a job interview it is either with the human resources department then possibly they send you to the lab to meet with the lab supervisor. If you follow up and call them, you leave a message but very rarely do they have a return a call. Same thing with email that's how they initially contact you after you apply online and after your interview if you follow up with an email it goes unanswered. It is absolutely ridiculous. Things are not the way they used to be.

Actually I hand carried my resume to HR then went up to the Lab and asked to meet the Phlebotomy Mgr. just as he advised. I had a nice friendly short conversation with the Mgr. and she called me in for an interview the following week. In the interview she flat out said she was impressed by my initiative of bringing in my resume and and respectfully asking to meet her. Needless to say the interview went very well and I was hired. In my experience many hospitals and clinics accept both online and personally bringing them in.

Please don’t bother the lab personnel. If they invite you back, that’s great, but please don’t show up everyday. They are very busy people and privacy concerns are very real

Everywhere I had applied online asked for a copy of my resume after the fact, even after I filled out everything on the application. Everywhere has wanted my resume.

Character goes a long way. When u can present that to people live, u leave them with good impression..and they at least feel like they know u, whether they like u or not. People get hired for different reasons. Not just informational things. I can tell by your comment you have the personality of a donkey. That's why you only know one way of getting hired.
