It is up to each individual to decide what methods to use to find a CNA job after becoming certified. Some of the most popular ways to find nursing assistant jobs are by using local newspaper advertisements, online job search engines, networking, and staffing agencies. If you decide to use a recruiting service or staffing agency, then make sure your hourly wage is the same as if you were employed directly. It is the employer who needs to pay extra to the staffing agency when they hire you, not the employee.
