CandidateSeeing Through The Resume
Job offer from a prestigious hospital. Sounds great, right? But it's an hour commute, will probably be float pool, and let's not forget the horror stories about management. Is the prestige worth the sacrifice or am I better off somewhere less known but close to home? What do you think?
I once took a job for the prestige. It lasted six months. The commute and management wore me down. A shorter commute might be worth more than you think.
Signed up for a place with a similar rep. A nightmare. Bailed within a year. Remember, a bad environment is a bad environment, no matter how shiny the nameplate.
Depends on your career goals. Prestigious hospitals often offer better career advancement opportunities. Is that important to you?
