Why should you use The Doctor Job?
This is the easiest question to answer: because it’s common sense. At this point in your career, it is absolutely crucial that you do everything in your power to find the best physician job available after your residency or fellowship is over. Your first practice will forever affect your career and the opportunities open to you in the future. If you could spend less than what you would earn in a week to know with absolute certainty that every single physician and medical employer relevant to your job search has received your CV, why wouldn’t you?
Even if you have an offer, you should strongly consider using our services. What if there is another employer willing to pay you $25,000 more a year? Or give you more responsibility? Or a more challenging practice? Or an extra week of vacation? Or a shorter partnership track? The answer is that you never know what else is out there until you’ve tried. And once you are confident that you’ve tried the hardest you can to find the best job, then you should be satisfied.
When should I use The Doctor Job?
As a resident or fellow, you should plan to use The Doctor Job anytime from July of your last year until June of the next year. We’ve been able to help every kind of resident, from the early to the desperately late. There are opportunities out there just waiting for you.
How long does the whole process take?
The Doctor Job will be able to get your entire package of letters to you two weeks after you become a client and fill out our questionnaire. Most of our clients get interviews within 1-3 weeks of sending out their letters, and many of them have job offers within a month or two after that.
How many letters should I anticipate sending out?
Some clients send out just 500, while others send out 2500. We will be able to give you an exact number once you provide us with your search criteria.
Why do you send a letter to every physician in a group?
The alternative is sending a letter to the office manager of that physician group, and in many cases, that will result in the letter getting discarded much quicker. Once again, numbers and statistics come into play. If you send a letter to one person of a nine-physician group, or if you send nine letters, which is going to result in a higher chance of success? The worst they can do is say no, and the best they can do is appreciate your tenacity and extend you an offer. In addition, our approach of reaching every potential networking contact drastically increases your chances of finding those hard-to-find jobs.
What if I get mail returned to sender?
We will take those letters back from you and correct the addresses and send new letters out to you immediately.
Why not use a job board instead?
Conceptually, using a job board is a brilliant way for an employer to market an opening. Unfortunately, many physician employers simply don’t know how to or don’t want to post jobs on job boards, either because they don’t want to deal with the hassle of receiving a thousand resumes, their Internet ability/access is rather limited, or they’d rather just try to find someone through word-of-mouth.
The fact of the matter is that if you’re looking for a job as a corporate sales rep, a job board is a great way to go. But if you’re a professional with an advanced degree, like an MD, DO, DDS, JD, MBA, etc., you need to think outside the box.
What is the problem with headhunters or recruiters?
Only 10% of employers are willing to pay recruiters' exorbitant fees. This means that by using a recruiter you are missing out on almost every opportunity out there.
I have many colleagues who need jobs – can you help?
We can definitely help – both them and you. We can help any physician find a job, whether or not you are board-certified, board-eligible, have an H-1B visa, J-1 visa, never finished your fellowship, or even dropped out of your residency. 99% of our clients find jobs, and we are the most effective way for any physician to find a job. Period.
