The secret to stop spam calls and emails for travel nurses is to get a burner phone number and private email -
BEFORE you start talking to travel nurse companies about jobs.
Having your burner phone number and private email set up in advance will allow you to talk to as many travel RN agencies about job opportunities as you want without worrying about spam.
It's never too late - even if you're already getting spam calls about travel nursing jobs.
This isn't just about travel nursing though - this applies every time you give out your contact info. To anyone.
Even though we're talking about travel nursing, this information applies every time you give out your personal contact information.
Using a burner phone number and private email will help you stop spam from all robo-calls, spammers & scammers.
Your Problem: Travel Nursing Agencies need your Phone Number but they Spam you FOREVER
You want to land the highest paying travel nursing jobs - great!
You'll need to contact at least 3-5 travel nursing agencies to compare jobs - Remember no single agency has all the jobs.
Your travel nursing agencies will need a phone number and email to reach you about jobs and applications.
Why do Travel Nurse Agencies need your phone number & email?
Agencies will use your phone number and email to contact you to discuss open job opportunities.
As much as we'd love to deal in just emails or texts, hopping on the phone is necessary - at least once.
Phone chats have advantages for both you & them:
- You'll get access to jobs so new they're not online yet.
- Travel nurse agencies make sure you're a real human.
- You can get super specific about jobs you want.
Plus, agencies use your phone number and email to build & submit your application to hospitals for jobs.
BUT do not give out your personal phone number!
Avoid this Mistake: DON'T give out your Personal Phone Number to Travel Nurse Agencies
If you give out your personal phone number to multiple travel nursing agencies get ready for job spam, spam, spam.
You need to give a phone number where you can be reached, but it definitely shouldn't be your personal phone number.
Your job alerts will come fast and often via phone calls, texts & voicemails.
You'll appreciate this when you're actively job-hunting.
But the constant job alerts via phone calls & texts get overwhelming and annoying quickly.
And will continue long after your job hunt ends.
Unfortunately, getting your personal phone number removed from agencies' databases is almost impossible.
Take it from me or any other travel nurse: You don't want or need job spam interruptions in your precious free time.
Your Solution: Get a Burner Phone Number!
Keep the endless job alerts out of your personal inboxes.
Think of it like getting an office phone number to handle your professional travel nursing career.
You can control the flow of job alerts you see by turning on or off features such as call forwarding and notifications.
Treat your relationships with agencies and recruiters like the business relationships they should be.
Protect your peace. Stop the job spam calls before they start.
Keep control of your personal phone number. Guard your personal information.
You and I both know that in Nursing, you gotta CYA (cover your ass). Nobody else will do it for you. 😘
