Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Network your personal contacts to get a medical imaging job. Talk to family members who are doctors, nurses and radiologists to see if they can provide you with job leads. Personal contacts that sell, deliver or install medical imaging equipment and supplies can also be great sources for job leads in this field.

  2. Step 2

    Take advantage of your school contacts to get a medical imaging job. Most medical imaging degrees are going to be offered by schools that work directly with local medical facilities that need medical imaging personnel. A great way to network to get a medical imaging job is to talk with your school's career adviser to see if they can line you up with a job interview. You can also see if your school has openings for medical imaging personnel. Some of the schools that offer medical imaging degree programs include: Prima Medical Institute in Mesa, Arizona, West Coast College in Victorville, California and Sanford-Brown Institute in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

  3. Step 3

    Ask your doctor for a referral. Your doctor is a good person to network with to get a medical imaging job. They are familiar with the local medical industry and they know when there are jobs open or when their colleagues are looking for help.

  4. Step 4

    Establish an account at a local medical staffing employment agency. These agencies can connect you with their network and help you to find a medical imaging job. This is one of the most effective ways to network to get a medical imaging job if you don't have a lot of connections to your local medical industry.
