The first step many physicians take when considering a nonclinical career is to browse job listings. And more often than not, this leads to confusion rather than clarity in the career transition process. Do I really need all of the required qualifications? What about the preferred skills and experience? Not to worry, today’s episode (part one of a two-part series) is here to alleviate your confusion and share some good news!
In this solo episode I’ll discuss what those job qualifications really mean, what to look for in job descriptions, and why converting your CV to resume gives you an advantage with recruiters.
In this episode we’re talking about:
- How to interpret the “required experience” section of a job listing
- The difference between clinical and nonclinical job descriptions
- How to be strategic in your job search
- Why nonclinical jobs are likely to provide extensive training
- How to know if your qualifications are a good match for a position
- Why some companies are more willing to hire candidates with less experience
- The benefit of customizing your resume and LinkedIn before applying
