I'm a junior resident who loves checking out the ENT job listings when I'm bored. A few questions have come to mind recently when I do this that I'm hoping some people might wanna take a stab at.
When is the earliest that a practice might like to hear from a resident if the resident is very interested in the posting, or if there isn't a posting but the resident would love to find out if they might like to add another doc around the time the resident graduates? I'm sure that great jobs are always popping up, but sometimes I will see one that seems ideal and part of me really wants to contact them to hear more.
Any tips for simple and tactful ways to reach out?
For those of you in a practice, do you often get emails or calls from like a PGY 3 or PGY 4 that's interested in your practice? If you do, do you appreciate such contact or feel like it's useless given the prematurity?
Also, occasionally I hear that 'the best jobs never make it to the job posting websites'. Is there any way to find out about those besides having the fortune to know the right people?
