Why is it so hard for a guy to find work as a CNA?

I know for sure that most women want to be bathed by another woman, and most men want to be showered with attention by a woman. BUT , I am giving this reply concerning home healtcare agencies, not so much for hospitals or nursing homes. When you apply for a job give a big smile and a firm handshake and act excited.

That is so strange. I always saw being a male cna was an advantage,especially in the old days. Keep trying I work for a company that hires guys. I saw some in our mass orientation. HCR Manor care, they are everywhere.

I didn't realize that men have a hard time getting CNA employment.  I'm excited and relieved to see men in the field!  Some male patients seem to be more comfortable with a male CNA as well as their significant other.  It's good to get help to reposition patients/clients/residents.  And I heard that having males in the profession may eventually raise our salaries.  I'm proud to have you on the team, welcome, and go get that position!

So many reasons this could be, but it's difficult to imagine it's a global problem.  Could be your geographic area where this tendency may be the case, but also could be you.  By that I only mean your resume, interview techniques and how you present yourself, or the types of facilities you're going for.  Some places are kinda fickle...they only want what they want.
