Job search is a bust

I moved to the Atlanta, GA area over 1 year ago from Ohio. I have been searching and searching doing cold contacts and online applications. I am keeping up on my CEU's ect. I still can not get my foot in the door anywhere.

I am willing to travel from Locust Grove, GA 30 miles either direction. Griffin, McDonough,Atlanta,Jonesboro, Hampton, Dekalb and such. No one is hiring.

Anyone have a suggestion? I am at my wits end I want to work. I am willing to be temp, full time, parttime. Please help thanks.

Also, I'm in PA and we have large hospital networks here. Most of the docs offices are through the hospital networks. Mos MA jobs within these offices are not advertised in papers, etc. but can only be accessed through the hospital network's websites so that may be an avenue you haven't checked. While you're checking those you can also try phlebotomy or EKG tech positions which MA's usually qualify for.

Try medical temp agencies. Here is one and they hire MAs. Google and you will find several more.
