caromanowic Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 When is it too early to apply for positions during the clinical year? I figured by September already I will have a pretty decent CV since my first couple rotations were pretty intense. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmood Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I'm interested if anyone else has something to add here. The offers I've received from rotations are really "soft" offers - "hey, apply here and we'll hire you, here's my phone number." If I won't be available to work for another 7 months, it feels a little odd to be applying for things now since so much can change in that time. But then, I've never applied for a position at this level before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted November 17, 2012 Administrator Share Posted November 17, 2012 I had a firm offer--contract and all--before I got into my last rotation, during which I also got an "Well, if anything falls through with your offer... call us." from them, as well.

greenmood Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Obviously that offer was in a field you enjoyed and was good enough for you to go for it. I think my discomfort with this stems from my desire to see the rest of my rotations through without any prior commitment. I have really enjoyed three of the four rotations I've done so far (and the other one, I still liked just wouldn't want to be in every day) and I worry about taking something now and then finding a niche in another area. I don't know the rules about that... certainly at the very least I would be in a terrible moral and ethical dilemma, trying to squirm out of a contract. I suppose it's a bit easier if you know exactly what you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted November 17, 2012 Administrator Share Posted November 17, 2012 If you're interesting in keeping your options open, be real up front and candid: "Well, I haven't seen everything yet, but this practice is definitely somewhere I can see myself working. Can I keep in touch as my rotations progress, to see if my interests and your needs are still matching up?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
