| ARMRIT to ARRT pathway - - - HELP |
To previous poster,
Since you placed your post I'm aware of several ARMRIT certified graduates of MRI School of Minnesota with jobs in unrelated MRI centers in Minnesota and Wisconsin. In addition to the graduates that have been employed at the clinical affiliate site, 4 are employed in private MRI centers and one with the Veteran's Administration.
Other than multi-modality job requirements, presentation on one's resume, cover letter and at the interview are the primary reasons for rejection by employers.
One recently hired graduate mentioned that the interviewer had remarked about not being impressed by a previous ARMRIT job applicant because of that candidate's presentation. Apparently that person had received a rejection letter citing ARRT certification preference as one of the reasons, yet this employer was willing to interview another ARMRIT-certified applicant, who was hired the same day.
There are also disgruntled ARRT certified graduates on forums like these who are feeling the same way as you do about their schooling and certification.
Though the job market is competitive regardless of level of schooling, just wanted to encourage you and other ARMRIT and ARRT qualified techs out there to hang in there, gain insights from past interviews, and wear your certification as your crown in good faith.
With the approaching CMS' deadline for certification of all MRI techs by January 2012, as well Health Care Reform's requirement for increased MRI utilization rates in the upcoming years, more dedicated (not multi-modality) MRI tech positions are expected to open up.
