I have two job interviews coming up, and honestly, what are some good questions to ask? What are some major things I should lookout for when it comes to job contracts? How do I even negotiate a salary? LOL I feel like a complete noob, HALP 🥲
I was always interested in pursuing a residency. However, decided to delay applying because I wanted to pass all parts of boards before doing so (had passed Part II and III before graduation). I recently retook Part I for the second time in August, passed and now am applying for licensure in my state.
However, there’s going to be quite a bit of time between when I finished my last rotation (early May) and when I become fully licensed to begin working (another few weeks). Not sure if my skills are stale and if I’ve forgotten some things.
Currently, I am applying to jobs but do feel nervous about interviews I have coming up — perhaps it’s imposter syndrome but I do feel unsure about working as a new grad without residency. I’m debating on applying to residencies now to brush up on my knowledge and gain more specific skills!
Do you guys have any insight on this? Is it common to feel this nervous for your first job — how did you combat it?
Is residency, in this scenario, worth pursuing? I was interested in ocular disease and specialty contact lens training.
Thanks!
