I'll give this person enough benefit of the doubt to write a short reply.
Mekel - your post, if you're not trolling, illustrates what many American pathologists think is part of the problem in the field at present. Lots of people going into pathology, lower salaries, and many of them with mediocre diagnostic and English language skills. If you're not a troll, I'd suggest working as hard as you can to be an excellent diagnostician, and to speak English better than a native speaker. I know multiple IMGs who do both of those things, but many, many, many more who do not.

Matching into a program isn't hard at all. But finding a good job in an area you want to live after residency is.
It's very difficult to find a job after residency/fellowship. The market is pretty terrible and doesn't show a lot of signs of opening up in the future, despite a decades-long predicted shortage that people are still trying to sell to get bodies in residencies. If you like something else, that's probably a better move.
I just watch h**ps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JGuibImxY0 . It says that the job markets are much much better?
That would certainly be news to all the fellows struggling for jobs. Unless "much much better" means "now you can do three or four fellowships! You'll never be truly unemployed!" And when the market opens for a forensic/cyto/micro/breast specialty, you're golden.
What a clown. I would believe Trump before this person.
If it takes advertising from the CAP via a youtube video that the job market is better, that should tell you something in and of itself...

Her survey addresses employer expectations. Does this apply to number of pathologists looking for jobs versus number of jobs available?
Notice how she said most jobs aren't posted and you need to network, network, network. You must brown nose to find a job in this field unlike other specialities who are heavily recruited.
