Hi all,
Looking for some advice about job hunting as well. I still have a year or so until the job search becomes reality, but was wondering about two things.
1. My training program is great, but I don't want to stay in the immediate area (or state for that matter). Some of the faculty have contacts outside of this area, but the pickings are slim. How would you go about finding a job if it's outside of your word of mouth's sphere of influence?
2. Now with training almost over, I'd like to start a family and was thinking about taking some time off after fellowship to do so. Is there any way to do this without taking too much of a professional hit? I mean, most people do want to have a family at some point, but there just never seems to be a good time...it seemed like a good idea to avoid the leave while in training, but you don't want to screw your new group by taking family leave as soon as you arrive either...
