Option A: Mid-career (15 years experience) fellowship-trained in pain. Married with two kids. Worked brief stint in academia, then locums for a number of years, then a couple gigs with various large health systems. No true PP experience. Competent in all interventional modalities, but rather opinionated with possibly an exaggerated sense of self-worth. Spent 30 mins in interview talking about a "conspiracy" at last job involving unfounded allegations made about a HIPPA violation. At the end of dinner, gets into the passenger side (spouse drives) of a late model Subaru that has a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker on it.
Option B: New grad who recently completed a high procedural volume fellowship in "Sports and Spine." Broadly trained in most procedures, but lacks experience in some areas. Went to work for the fellowship director and now seeking new opportunity in different part of the country. Seems eager to please with good, strong work ethic. Socially agreeable and malleable. Recently engaged to a drug rep. No kids. Checks cell phone frequently during dinner and left table twice to talk to significant other who was pre-occupied with a sick dog (Doberman) at home. Drives an Acura ILX.
