Defining excellence: Experience is not the panacea

摘要

Irrefutably, careers in the air medical profession are in high demand but with low supply. As a result, hiring managers are flooded with resumes from providers of varying backgrounds, levels of training, and levels of experience. To blunt the volume while still maintaining high quality, training and experience minimums for applicants have been established.1 With that in mind, it would be reasonable to assume that most applicants meet the minimum requirements for hire. With typically only 1 vacant position, how does the hiring manager determine which of the applicants to call in for an interview? Furthermore, how do they make this decision with no prior knowledge of the applicants? As of right now, this decision is largely based on 1 factor: experience.
