I have known Julie Irving since she founded her company. I was her first technolist. I have seen her grow in her business and proffesionally. There is no one better to help you find a job in this competitive market. She will work with you on a one on one basis so that you and your employer come to a fair agreement that will benefit both of you. Good luck, Julie.

Ruben,
You and Rachel, both RDMS techs, have been some of the handful of techs that have been my biggest support and inspiration. Can you beleive that we met in 1999, on one of my last traveling assignments. You guys have come a long way too!
El Paso, TX to MAINE!
All my love, and see you soon!

Laurie,
You know but now everyone else that reads this will know too, that I came into Radiology due soley to you. In my high school years, when trying to figure out "what I wanted to be when I grew up", I looked up to you in such a large way.
As a child, I always thought that I would be a veterinarian like my father, but when time drew closer, I ended up choosing Radiology. There has never been a moment that I regretted "going to x-ray school". I'm very blessed to have my career and to have a great friend in you.

The resume/cover letter seem like good examples. My question is how do I make a resume stand out when changing professions. My background in radiology, then I have transitioned to biology/research. Clearly objective is different, however not much experience in research, any suggestions.?

Without seeing your resume and whole history, it would be difficult for me to asses that. Please email it to me at julie@xrayz4u.com with a note in the email to call regarding RT blog!

Thanks for the great tips. While I hopefully won't need them in the near future, I am going to pass them on to my son, who is entering the job market. Great ideas. Thanks again and keep it up!

Julie, do you work only with RT techs or the whole range of radiology technologist? I would be very intersted to know what is your view on what is going on with the radiology technologist field as a whole and then by modality as far as demand.
# Posted By Iva | 5/29/08 5:44 PM
Modalties that are HOT:
MRI
Ultrasound, Vascular, and Echo-IF REGISTERED AND EXPERIENCED (market is flooded with new graduates who cannot find their first job)

Modalties that are COLD:
Xray
Nuc med
Radiation Therapy

Modalites that are WARM:
Specials, Cardiac Cath
CT
Mammo
Mgmt



Reason: schools were flooded the past 5 years, some states have limited licenses now which took alot of the xr positions away from the ARRT techs, reimburesements are becoming very low, economy stress.
Hope this helps!

Julie, thank you for answering my question. Do you see the radiology fields for the cold modalities bouncing back up any time soon? I read here in the blogs that Radiation Therapy is becoming very popular now, I am not sure which one of the blogs! Do you feel that this is correct? Do you see more or less traveler jobs lately and what is your opinion for the next 5 years for those cold modalities?

Not sure how long you've been in Radiology, but every 5-10 years, there are peaks and valleys within the profession. Things will change drastically over the next 5 years, as the baby boomers will be retiring.
