Episode #4: Do you have transferable skills for a nonclinical job?
Are you thinking you don’t have the transferable skills to get a nonclinical job? In this podcast, which I refer affectionately to as the “You’re not chopped liver,” episode, you’re going to see that you do indeed have many transferable skills. I’m also going to address the catch-22 of needing experience to land a job but not being able to get a job without experience. And you’ll also hear a funny story about a job I had in a well-known hotel kitchen. You can find the show notes for this episode and more information by clicking here: www.doctorscrossing.com/4
