Physician career change - how to succeed in the job search

DateWednesday, October 21, 2009 at 12:16PM

Since I know not all of my physician readers are planning to start their own businesses, but are contemplating instead a job change into a non-clinical arena, I thought you might benefit from resources to make that process easier.

Whether you are seeking work as a physician executive or employee in a non-clinical business or organization, there are many job hunting, career transition and interviewing tips out there for you.

Slideshare recently compiled several slideshows dedicated to job seekers. While these lack audio commentary, they are filled with useful tips and reminders. Including that of remaining optimistic!

1. Effective Job Interviewing from Both Sides of the Desk

2. 10 Job Search Attitudes that Will Get You More Interviews

3. Rethink your Job Search

4. Leveraging LinkedIn for the Job Search

5. Job Search with Social Media & Mobile

The number one skill (and art) that needs mastering is that of effective, thoughtful networking. Which in turn demands an understanding of marketing - only this time it is yourself and your skillset that you're "selling"!

If you are eager to find physician colleagues, here, in addition to The Entrepreneurial MD's growing Physician Entrepreneur network, are four other useful resources providing opportunities to connect:

Non-Clinical Healthcare Professionals

Physician Renaissance Network

MomMD

Leave Medicine

And the granddaddy of them all is still LinkedIn!
