The fall is an exciting time for physicians in training- for many in their last year of residency or fellowship, this is the time to begin the all-important job search! While some physicians may already have their first job locked down, for many, the job search process is just getting started. With the end of the calendar year right around the corner, potential employers have their budget for next year and their unmet clinical needs at the top of their minds. This makes it the perfect time for physicians to network and send out their cover letter and CV.
In an age of recruiters contacting physicians day and night, it is easy to loose sight of the need to take control of your own physician job search. Many physicians in training rely on word of mouth regarding what positions are opening up, and on getting offers for interviews from recruiters. It is important to remember that a comprehensive job search includes not only considering the job openings that come to you by way of recruiters and your colleagues, but also includes diving out into the large expanse of potential employers and finding what else might be available. Many times physicians end up taking a job that was brought to them, rather than going and seeking out what may end up being a much better match. While time consuming, a comprehensive job search will help lessen the dreaded outcome of unhappiness in your first job, and needing to do it all over again within just a few short years.
