Everyone is dying to see the AAPA salary report. PAs are in the streets surrounding the building waiting for that report to come out. Newspaper boys around the country yell “EXTRA, EXTRA” on street corners, letting everyone know that the salary report is ready.
Here’s the inside scoop: those numbers don’t actually matter. Not until you have a job offer.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
Don’t sit there and count your imaginary piles of cash before you start the interview process.
The numbers are great. Very exciting, especially when you’ve been hemorrhaging money for years. But before you can dive into and swim around in your pool filled with gold coins, ala Scrooge McDuck, you have to get a JOB.
Do you have a plan for finding a job? The terrible answers look like this.
“Uh, no.”
What kind of job do you think you’re going to find with that plan?
The good answers look like this:
“I’ll go on the job boards and find something.”
This is slightly better, but…
Wouldn’t you rather find the job of your dreams and have docs BEGGING you to come work for them?
Do you think you’ll get that kind of response by adding your resume to the stack?
Nope.
I’ve got way better ways to handle this, but even if you don’t want the best way (which you’ll find within the pages of the July 2018 issue of PAES) take some time and think the process over.
Finding a job may be the most important, most valuable thing you ever do.
You spent nearly 3 years in school to get to a point where you could get a job, and now you’re not even going to put 15 minutes into thinking about the process? You’ll put hours into looking, but not minutes into planning?
For shame.
How about I make it easier for you? I’ve got it all laid out and ready to go in the July 2018 issue of Physician Assistant Exam Scholars Newsletter. Now under normal circumstances, if you didn’t already have that issue in your library, it wouldn’t do you much good to know about the gold that lies within its pages. But you are in luck.
This weekend, I’m make the July and August 2018 issues available to you again in what I’m calling:
Get Your Dream Job Fast and Start Getting Your Hands on the Money That You’ve Been Promised
These two issues bookend the process of finding a job and making sure you’re the candidate they’re salivating over.
Get this one and get a better life.
