A new year is an excellent time for looking back over the past and re-dedicating yourself to the work you love. I have taken the opportunity to count my blessing for all the great clients and candidates that I have encountered in 2007 and look forward to continued as well as new relationships in 2008. I’ve reflected over my role as a physician recruiter, and in the coming year, I resolve the following:
- I resolve to always treat each physician candidate with the same consideration that I’d what top be treated.
- I resolve to stop making coffee while profiling candidates.
- I resolve to hone my knowledge of current issues and news about recruiting so that I can offer organizations and candidates the best services and opportunities.
- I resolve to get a clearer picture of each open position to ensure I know as much as possible that will fit the right candidate to the right job.
- I resolve to learn more about my own potential ailments through a sweeping generalized search of Internet medical information and pepper my personal physician with tons of “what about this one’s.”
- I resolve to use my knowledge of employment and staffing to become a more active voice and helpful resource in the ongoing employment challenges with retention and job satisfaction.
- I resolve to continue training my own recruiters, as well as encourage other recruiters, to uphold the highest ethics and principles of our profession.
- I resolve to medically treat myself through the Internet advice I receive on rapid heartbeat, a feeling of elation, sweating palms, and the desire to shout “YEHAA!” (Yes, I am a Texan) whenever I’ve facilitated a perfect match between an employer and a physician.
- I resolve to “go the extra mile” by expanding my business services in travel arrangements, so that physicians can look to me for a complete solution to cross-country relocations or locum travel arrangements.
- I resolve to take myself less seriously and take my job placement mission even more seriously.
