What to do when finding work is your work?

Hi. More than a year ago I finished my Masters study Biomedical Engineering. I have had about 18 job interviews and countless number of letters have been written. I've visited every Acadamic Hospital in my Country for a Job Interview and many Universities. I am just never chosen. I would love to do some promotion-research in the area of neuroimaging. Currently I am doing a [voluntary] traineeship at a hospital with the aim of calculating the cerebral blood flow using MRI.-but I really need to find a paid job. I have found other work like cleaning offices and administrative work. But nothing in my own field. What can I do to get employed before I turn 80? I am thinking of looking for other work instead. Are there places on internet which have a list/database of possible jobs and functions? I need to get more of an idea of what type of jobs/functions actually exist

1. Look for a professional headhunting firm that specializes in research. Explain to them what you have been through. They will help you with your resume and your interview skills. You may have better luck with them on your side.

3. There's a website called Monster.com, that allows you to type in the job you want, the city you live in, and even what range you desire to work within. It shows you all the available positions in that area, that pertain to the job description you have typed in.Then you can click on each job they list, to get more information, like what requirements the position has, etc. They even help with resumes. It's very useful. I used it back when I used to work, to find a job in pharmacy technology, and also a job in manufacturing of systems for aircrafts, 2 jobs I used to do, so the range of jobs they offer info. on is limitless. I'm sure you could find something there that involves a degree in biomedical engineering. Wow. With that knowledge, it needs to be put to good use! I can see your frustration in not being able to use your skills at the moment. At least check it out. It won't hurt to see if there are any available positions within your area. Don't worry about not being able to find work. With skills like that, you'll probably be retired before 60!
