I'm looking into working in a hospital since they are open around the clock and thus leaving me able to work in evenings and weekends when I have classes throughout the day. Emory is THE Hospital(IMO at least) here in Atlanta and so it seems fairly difficult to get a job there, especially due to their 'apply online and we'll contact you' philosophy. I personally think that with my medical work history (and the stellar cover letter I wrote) there shouldn't be a reason why I can't get a job there. Any suggestions as to how I might improve my chances of getting a job there? I have left a program in which I had some form of communication with one of the head Orthopedic surgeons at Emory on a weekly basis, since he is the team MD for the school I am leaving. I'm not big on asking for favors from people to get somewhere, but I have also learned that it does sometimes take knowing someone first to get you somewhere. My boss at the job was understanding of my career path change and made it clear on a couple of occasions to let him know if there is anything that he can do to help.
Thanks
I'll copy this in allo pre-med as well
