When a job is looking for you, not you for it: a demanded profession in the USA allows you to travel

During the pandemic, we have all appreciated the importance of cleanliness in everyday life - we have never washed or disinfected our hands as often as we do now. And in the field of providing medical services, cleanliness and sterility are not just the key to success - in most cases it is a matter of life and death for the patient. Moreover, doctors understood this long before the pandemic. Therefore, more and more hospitals are placing the sterilization of instruments in the hands of separately certified specialists - medical instrument sterilization technicians. And all state governments support this initiative. Moreover, instrument sterilization technicians—like most medical professionals—are now in short supply in the United States, so they are hired in all states and even invited to work as “traveling medics.”

Student reviews of Multyprep

“I completed the Sterile Processing Technician course a year ago and passed the CRCST provisional certification exam in May 2020. However, since then, due to the coronavirus pandemic, I have been unable to find a job in my field, or even a volunteer position, to complete the 400 hours required to obtain a permanent CRCST certificate. Recently I decided to contact Galina (we are talking about the owner of the Multyprep school, Gele Kotlyar. - Ed.) and find out if she could help me find a job in this specialty. She helped me correct my resume and sent it to one company that hires technicians, including people without practical experience, as was the case in my situation. Literally the next day they wrote to me and scheduled an interview, then a second one. A couple of days later they sent me a job offer at a large hospital in Manhattan. Until recently, I could not even dream of such a quick and positive result, after all my fruitless attempts to find a job in this field. Once again, many thanks to Galina for her help and support in this matter!” - Jakangir shared.

“Multyprep is a wonderful school. The director and teacher are helpful, friendly people who will do everything they can to make sure you understand everything and complete the course successfully. The onboarding process is very simple. Class scheduling is also very flexible. They will help you find a place for 400 hours of practice. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to become a Certified Registered Central Service Technician!” - noted graduate Olesya.
