Skills To Learn While In Between Jobs

Recruiting Daily welcomes once again our good friend and guest blogger this week – Ken Sundheim

The main reason why job seekers who are out of work fail to accomplish or obtain the positions that they set out to is mainly due to what they learn and the skills the acquire in between their jobs. The #1 issue is that job seekers focus too much on finding employment and not enough time on self-growth that, subsequently leads to professional advancement, more demand and higher pay for their services on the open market.

Below, you will find some skills that are helpful for any job seeker to learn while unemployed and that can greatly assist in your job search and, subsequently heighten your various compensation offerings upon finding the right job. Keep in mind that just because you are learning these skills does not mean that you have to go into a position that solely focuses on them, but consider these learned traits to be the “cherry on top.”

Today we have the pleasure of hearing from Rebecca Banco (Becky) an in house physician recruiter for Rutland Regional Medical Center in Rutland Vermont.  Becky has been through many challenging and successful searches for her facility in some of the most difficult physician specialties.  Not an easy task!

RD: Thank you Becky for taking the time out of your schedule to chat with us at RD.  Tell us what is your primary specialty area?

Becky: Physician and Midlevel providers for a rural community hospital.

RD:  Can you share a bit about your recruiting background/experience?

Becky: I began working in various medical practices in Vermont and then Arizona after completing my Associates Degree.  I returned to my home state of Pennsylvania and began working at Temple University Hospital in the pulmonary department.  My purpose for choosing to work at Temple was to take advantage of the Tuition Remission and I was able to matriculate into a Bachelor’s program, attending night school and working for the Dean of Curriculum at Temple’s Medical School by day.   I was drawn back to Vermont and took a job working as an assistant to the Medical Director.  I slowly took on the responsibilities of physician recruitment and developed a program as I became the full-time inhouse physician recruiter.  Along the way I have taken training courses through The American Academy of Medical Management to become a Certified Medical Staff Recruiter, and I have actively followed the progress of the Association of Staff Physician Recruiters, again certifying as a Physician Recruiter.  ASPR has numerous regional groups and I have been very active with my regional group the Northeast Physician Recruiters Association.
