Article provides tips for hospitalist job-seekers

Hospitalist Leadership Connection, March 21, 2007

An article in the March 2007 issue of Today's Hospitalist says that while hospitalists now enjoy the luxury of receiving multiple offers in the current job-seeker's market, they still must ask the right questions in interviews to ensure that they land the best position.

Further, the article notes, rushing through interviews without sufficiently researching the job can lead to stress, burnout, and turnover-detriments to both the physician and the employer.

As a result, hospitalist job seekers should consider the following tips with regard to the interview process, according to the article:

 Look beyond geography and compensation

 Know your own objectives

 Get your personal house in order

 Always make time for a phone interview

 Prepare for probing questions

 Don't badmouth other employers

 Don't leave the interview without asking what the next steps are
