I am a certified phlebotomist but can't get a job b/c no experience.
I can't find a job. I even applied to the ones that said you must have 6 months to a year experience. I only have my classroom and hospital externship experience. The externship was only 2 weeks. I'm looking for part time phlebotomist jobs because I'm still in school. How do I convince someone to hire me?

The problem may be that you are still in school. If a position needs to be filled asap and you are not available due to the schedules conflicting, no one is going to want to promise you a part or full time job once you graduate.
There is a chance the market is swamped with people with degrees for that work but not enough jobs are available. It doesn't matter that you've been told that anything related to the medical field is a good job bet because medical field is booming. One of my daughters was told that, went to school to become a doctors assistant in a clinic and became to look for work when she graduated 5 to 6 years ago. She found absolutely nothing. She tried volunteering to get some experience without pay. That was hard too and she ended up only finding a chiropracter who heard about it and wanted her for free to do office work, nothing related to her degree. SHe'd kept in touch with her classmates and at least half or more of the class were also unable to find a job position. So all I can recommend is try for a while to find part time, and if nothing comes of it, offer to work part time for free if they will allow you to use them for reference on job experience. This is how some jobs worked out in history, a person wanting to become a "whatever the job was" would go to the person already doing that kind of work, or had such a business and ask if they could apprentice with them. There is something about apprenticeship on line. Here is a link. I cheched the fields they have apprenticeship for and 'healthcare' is listed.
