Being Over Qualified

I moved to Las Vegas two months ago with my family. I haven't found a job yet, but I've applied everywhere. I'm from Cali where I worked as a CNA and a MA. I'm currently awaiting for my certification to be endorsed to the state of Nevada. I decided while I'm waiting I would apply at some Assisted Living facilities. At these types of facilities you are assisting the residents with personal hygeine, grooming, medication reminders,ambulation, and companionship. These are things that you also do in a convalescent home. The only real difference is in assisted living the rooms are like little apartments, and in a convalescent home a resident is most likely sharing a room with one or two other patients, and there health might be a little more severe than others. I love working with the elderly, so hearing someone tell me that I am over qualified to work in their facility really hurt me. I need a job, and i need one bad. I have four kids to feed. I have even applied at Walmart, and Wendy's. My journey isn't over. I am determined to get a job by the end of this month. So wish me luck!
