Physician Job Search Tips
1) Defining purpose. What you are looking for in a position? Some items to consider are: environment (rural, suburban or urban), practice set-up (group, partnership, employee, etc.), compensation plan for physician employment and rotation.
2) Preparation. Practice! Practice! Practice! Do your homework before interviewing. Anticipate possible questions concerning physician practice opportunities and write answers for each.
3) Punctuality. Not just on time, but a little early for each site and telephone interview.
4) Appearance. Arrive at the interview with a neat and clean appearance. Avoid being overly made-up. Dress conservatively and comfortably.
5) Body language. Eye contact is essential. If shaking hands, offer a firm handshake. Erect posture shows confidence. Sit down only after being offered a chair.
6) Portfolio. Plan ahead. Bring copies of necessary information (CV and references). A legal notebook for taking notes is always recommended. Formulate a list of questions to help you evaluate the opportunity.
7) Enthusiasm. Bring an absolutely positive attitude without being too familiar. Negativism is not allowed. Sell yourself. The difference between bragging and self confidence is enthusiasm.
Smile. A genuine heart warming smile can win over anyone…whether you interview for physician jobs or not.
9) Thank you. At the end of each interview, thank the interviewer for their time. Follow up with a thank you note highlighting various points discussed during the visit.
10) Use a professional recruiter. Have a professional recruiter handle the search process for you. The task can be overwhelming to organize and maintain.
