Can we get a discussion going on the best resources for job searching in our specialty?

What are good websites with job search engines? Reputable recruiters? Creative ideas for landing jobs?

Thanks

Hi kindredspirit,

I got on here this morning to post a question about job hunting...looks like we're in the same boat.

Here's what I've found so far:
1. From SDN mother of all stickies link there is a job hunting guide:

2. AAPM&R has a job board
http://www.aapmr.org/career/job-board/Pages/default.aspx

3. Reference your PM&R Journals i.e. Archives for jobs posted in the back

4. PracticeLink is ok for PM&R but gives good tips in general

---------------------
I have a couple of questions for those who have been through this:
- How do you feel about the utility of recruiters and as the OP asked any good ones?
- How do I find "regional locum tenens i.e. working my way along the gulf coast?
- Any good locum tenens websites tenens?

this is a recruiting website, but I actually found them to be helpful.

stjohnjobs.com

Someone else recommended linkedin.com as a resource for networking and possible job leads.

Curious whether anyone has experienced difficulty finding general, outpatient, musculoskeletal based positions, post-residency? Those of you who may have opted out of doing a Fellowship primarily?

What are some thoughts on building a practice doing rehab consults in sub-acute nursing facilities? Has anyone had experience doing this and/or working with the various consulting firms that offer support in this arena?

What about doing per diem electrodiagnosis?

Any other ideas?

SNF consults - did them for a while - boring and mostly useless. No one reads your notes and they ignore your orders. Travel time degrades it's worth.

When looking for a first job, do not be afraid of the recruiters. Especially people like Linda Farr, and some of the Miner&Mason people. They can be very helpful, and try hard to match you with the right people. For nothing else, they can help networking.
