Better Job Offer? Leave Your Current Position the Right Way

Congratulations! Your hard work and career accomplishments have made you attractive to other employers, and you now have a job offer in hand for a better position. I’m sure you’re proud and excited. However, before you break out the champagne, there’s a little unfinished business – you have to part ways with your current employer.

How to be confident and assertive during job interviews

When it comes to interviews, we’ve all had our moments when we wished we had performed better than we did. What if it didn’t have to be that way – what if we could go into every interview knowing that we performed well and really caught the attention of the employer as a potential candidate to fill the vacancy?

The Hands of Time Don’t Stop for Physicians Either

I would love to rewind the clock and work a bit less, skip a few more meetings, and grab an afternoon nap as often as possible. I’d like to think I would ignore the lure of a nice bonus check and take an extra vacation with the kids. Instead of moonlighting to get those student loans erased, I’d take a long, slow walk with my wife and just sit quietly watching the sunset.

The hands of time wait for no one. Choose to spend those moments wisely with contemplation and great care.

Employee Engagement Starts with the Job Posting

In healthcare recruitment, your image is key to acquiring engaged talent that works to their optimum and stays long-term. People want to take pride in their work and workplace, a major component of employee engagement. Engagement starts with a great Job Posting.
