I have a little be of a job thing going myself. I'm applying for a job running the internal medicine residency program at Duke. This program is the largest graduate medical education program at Duke. While I love Surgery, sometimes you need to let go. This new position would be working with just one program instead of trying to manage 4-5. There is a lot of work involved with this, but again, one program. I know the hiring manager, and have known him almost the whole time I've been at Duke and have a really good rapport with him. Will be updating my resume this weekend so I can submit it next week and will be having lunch with the gal who is leaving the position (she saw an opportunity for growth and took it, much like how I'm viewing this) to talk about the good and bad of the job and people she worked with. The more I think about this job, the more I get excited about it. Need to reel myself in as I don't want to put the cart before the horse.

I had my first interview yesterday and it went very well, lasted 2 hours. As I mentioned before I know the hiring manager and we had a great talk. He shared things with me that I doubt he would share with other candidates, like he hopes to retire within 5 years and can see me taking over for him. He was very complimentary of me and my skills. He did ask me a question I've never been asked in an interview, "have you ever failed?" I had to answer truthfully, yes I have. But I've learned from my failures or mistakes along the way.

This position will supervise 2 employees, something I have never done before, but the HM seems very willing to mentor me in this area. Duke offers a course on how to supervise which is geared towards the employee who has not been a supervisor.

There is opportunity to grow and advance in this position, which is very important for me at this point in my career. I don't want to be in a dead end job. I have to give Duke a lot of credit in that they really do want their employees to grow and really are willing to make it happen, course it also helps that everyone I've worked for encourages growth, both personal and professional.

The next step is to interview with the residency program director and that will occur within the next few weeks. I may also meet or interview with a few other people. The higher you go in this world, the more people you interview with for a position.

And to think, I had briefly considered not saying anything to the HM about the plans for this position when it was vacated.

I have a second interview Thursday morning at 0830.

There is a certain camp that would say if you've never failed, you've never taken enough risk.

You won't need it at all, but good luck!

I agree, good luck but I doubt you need it.

Vibes, thoughts and prayers to all of us in the JOB SEARCH market. Whether it is to find a New Job with great benefits or a lateral promotion....anything to better our financial and security by all means!!!!

When I asked permission to take Monday and Tuesday off, PHB told me I could as long as my current task is finished. It's part of a major proposal that's due next week for a project I'm not assigned to (NuBarbie is). I'm not sure if I should postpone the visit or schedule it and cross my fingers. Thoughts?

I am confident I can get my part done. The problem is that PHB keeps changing his mind on what he wants. I can envision a scenario in which I have everything completed and PHB decides he needs something completely different.

[windsor]

Do NOT postpone. Send an e-mail clairfying that you need to complete XYZ on the project. Be detailed. Then do it...get er done and get gone...and keep it very very quiet that you will not be there Mon/Tuesday else NuBarbie or some other troglodyte decidess to screw with you and come up with something that just MUST be done...by YOU on....and the will come up with it at 4:45 on Friday

Thanks for the advice. That's what I'm doing. If PHB doesn't have the information he needs, TS.
