When to counter and when not.
It's a booming job market. Currently, job hunters are excited by the opportunities to get all they can, and headhunters and hiring organizations are pressured to find the best recruits. When the market is overheated, as it is, both candidates and recruiters are tempted to trust each other and not sweat the details. They are also tempted to believe that "a good candidate can fit in anywhere." It's time to share some cautionary tales that apply to job hunting physicians. The litany of mistakes extreme prosperity induces are described, including: (1) sloppy, superficial research, (2) rushing the process, (3) relying on things to "work out," and (4) soft peddling performance expectations.
