Physician NonClinical Careers with John Jurica Podcast Blast From the Past - 8 Mistakes That Derail a Job Search
Today I'm presenting a popular podcast blast from the past from Episode 180. In it I described 8 common mistakes clinicians make when trying to pivot to a new job.
Let's revisit the answer to this question: What are the most common mistakes that will derail your job search?
- Tunnel vision and not keeping an open mind
- Being intimidated by a job description
- Preparing a CV rather than a resume
- Using the same cover letter and resume for different jobs or different industries
- Depending too much on online applications and not leveraging networks
- Not learning the jargon of the field we're pursuing
- Not taking the interview seriously
- Not preparing sufficiently
BONUS Mistakes to AVOID: #1 – Failure to prepare a COMPLETE LinkedIn Profile. #2 – After the interview but before accepting the offer, not investigating the employer with other employees, customers, and physicians to determine if it will be a good fit for you.
