Learning from the job search itself

You are going to waste hours of your time if you don't do this correctly. 

When it comes to finding a non-clinical job, people overlook one very important skill: the job search itself. Knowing which keywords and job titles to use is critical in finding jobs you actually want. Think about how vast the internet has become. If you are not strategically using a search engine like Google, it is easy to quickly find yourself lost and down a rabbit hole you didn't want to be in. The exact same thing can happen when you are looking for a non-clinical job, even if you are using a job board like LinkedIn or Indeed. 

When I was looking for a clinical Emergency Medicine job, it was easy. All I had to do was type in "Emergency Medicine Physician" and selection the location where I was looking for a job such as "St. Elsewhere, Illinois". BAM, easy peasy. Try doing the same thing to find a job like my current one (a reviewing utilization management medical director for a health insurance company). Not so easy. Which terms do you type in? "Utilization management"? "Medical director"? "Reviewing medical director"? It gets complicated very quickly and "medical director" applies to a wide variety of different roles.

Even using the filters of keywords, salary, and location on the job board does not help as much as you would think. 

Here is the bottom line, if you want to find the right non-clinical job for yourself you have two options:

1) Spend hours upon hours of doing the search yourself on several different job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, and Google) are my favorites. Eventually you will get better at searching like I did. 

2) Outsource the task. Yep, I will do it for you. If you are interested, send me an email to discuss further: thenonclinicalguy@gmail.com
