Top Tips to Find Your First Nonclinical Job Using LinkedIn
In this week's episode, John offers advice about using LinkedIn. Most clinicians pursuing a nonclinical job have already built a LinkedIn profile. However, some of the more advanced aspects of a LinkedIn page are often overlooked. LinkedIn can be very useful for adding new contacts and networking with them. Since more than half of those looking for a new job find a job through a personal referral rather than by applying online, expanding one's network will enhance your job search. LinkedIn also serves as a job board, with millions of job postings. And it facilitates the process of working with recruiters. John describes some of the ways in which seeking clinicians can leverage LinkedIn to find and connect with recruiters.

Why You Must Wake Up Before Bad Behavior Ruins Your Career
In this week's episode, John interviews Dr. Ryan Bayley. He first appeared on the show over 4 years ago to talk about his experiences as a business and success coach. Since then, the part of his practice that seems to be growing the fastest is helping to address or prevent disruptive or inappropriate behavior. Dr. Bayley realized that a growing number of physicians were being put on administrative leave. And their licenses to practice medicine were being suspended or revoked. When he looked for books on the subject that he could share with physicians, he couldn't find any. So, he decided to write his own. That book was published recently, and Ryan joins me to cover many of the topics he wrote about. He describes why the system is becoming more dangerous, how to avoid exposing yourself, and what to do if you find yourself accused of disruptive behavior or of breaching personal boundaries.
