Job Application Tips

摘要

Methods of finding potential positions have changed significantly over the years. When I started in the profession, it was common practice to walk into a hospital, ask to speak with the radiology manager, and fill out an application on the spot. This might still happen on occasion, but more often, the application is online and handled by a human resources department. An application might not make it into the radiology manager's hand until the human resources staff thoroughly evaluates it.Centralized job-posting websites are a great place to start searching for a position. The ASRT JobBank~R is an excellent searchable database. Technologists can search by location or by category (eg, PACS administrator). Each job posting likely receives many applications. Therefore, job seekers should find as many open jobs as possible that fit their criteria and complete applications for each job that meets their needs. Technologists need to consider whether they are willing to work long shifts and whether they need a position that offers certain benefits. Many factors determine whether a job is a good fit for a person's specific circumstances.
