Episode #125: How To Assess If A Job’s A Good Fit Before You Commit

Apr 12, 2023

Have you ever heard of a matchmaker for physicians? And no, I don’t mean a romantic matchmaker - I mean a professional matchmaker who helps you find a clinical role that’s a great fit! My guest today, family medicine physician Dr. Lara Hochman, runs a business that does exactly this. She’s here to discuss how to understand your priorities and assess whether a job is right for you. Dr. Hochman will also share some helpful tips on how to play detective during an interview to find out what a workplace is really like.
