Rising PGY-4 here. Looking to apply for jobs out in California, but a resident on the other side of the country. As residents we get plenty of recruitment job advertisements but I’ve been told by a few folks that advertised jobs are not worth it and are “being advertised for a reason.” I’ve been told pulling connections is the way to get an “in” into where you want to go. How true is this? I have zero connections to California, and don’t even know which hospitals or clinics to reach out to. Should PGY-4s essentially ignore advertised jobs?
