Physician Job Search: How to Interview to get Your Dream Job

When physician's submit their CV for a prospective job opportunity, the CV speaks for itself and is crucial in getting to the next stage of the interview process.  However, once the interview process starts and physician's visit the facility and meet with the other physicians, interview skills, practical (not just clinical) knowledge, and personality really come in to play to get the job offer and move to contract negotiation.

Coming across as a team player, particularly for the current hospital-employed trending marketplace, is a very important factor in the interview process.  The site visit is an exploratory process for the physician to help determine if this may be a good fit, but it is also an interview and it's important not to forget it is an opportunity to showcase not only the physician's training and experience, but also his or her personality and compatibility.

A CV is a good way to get the process started, but the physician still needs to interview and prove they are not only a good clinical fit for the opportunity, but also have the right dynamic to fit in to the current group.
