Clinician Job Searches in the Internet Era: Internet-Based Study

Background:The impact of the increased popularity of the internet as a platform to search for jobs may benefit every job seeker as an alternative to generate employment opportunities. Graduates that emphasize on general skills have a higher likelihood of disparitywhile searching for jobs. Objectives:This paper explores graduates’ perceptionson the knowledge of how to search for jobs from relevant sourcesr. Methods:The theoretical review focuses on job search strategies, job choices and job accessibility through different sources, highlights the usefulness of job portals for job seekers to find the right job as per their skills and requirements. The existing literature has observed that many job search behaviors through different sourceshas been performed and these behaviors indicate that awareness level affects job seekers’ intentions to apply for jobs. Empirical studies indicate that thechoice of job search by graduates match between a worker’s education and job offered.General skills have a higher likelihood of mismatch at job searches in different countries. Findings:Still in many developing countries, due to lack of awareness of job portals, people are not getting the right jobs and alternatives of their current jobs by different sources. Conclusions:A comprehensive study on applicability of the internet job search is useful for employers, considering the introduction of new graduate recruitment programmers. It is also useful for those wishing to improve their existing ones as well as for institutions of higher education, to reconsider the type of knowledge and skills they provide in order to prepare their students for the real world of work. Implications: Graduates require proper awareness on job search sites and the concerned industry should focus on it as well.

Internet Searches

BACKGROUND Traditional methods using print media and commercial firms for clinician recruiting are often limited by cost, slow pace, and suboptimal results. An efficient and fiscally sound approach is needed for searching online to recruit clinicians. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to assess the Web-based methods by which clinicians might be searching for jobs in a broad range of specialties and how academic medical centers can advertise clinical job openings to prominently appear on internet searches that would yield the greatest return on investment. METHODS We used a search engine (Google) to identify 8 query terms for each of the specialties and specialists (eg, dermatology and dermatologist) to determine internet job search methodologies for 12 clinical disciplines. Searches were conducted, and the data used for analysis were the first 20 results. RESULTS In total, 176 searches were conducted at varying times over the course of several months, and 3520 results were recorded. The following 4 types of websites appeared in the top 10 search results across all specialties searched, accounting for 52.27% (920/1760) of the results: (1) a single no-cost job aggregator (229/1760, 13.01%); (2) 2 prominent journal-based paid digital job listing services (157/1760, 8.92% and 91/1760, 5.17%, respectively); (3) a fee-based Web-based agency (137/1760, 7.78%) offering candidate profiles; and (4) society-based paid advertisements (totaling 306/1760, 17.38%). These sites accounted for 75.45% (664/880) of results limited to the top 5 results. Repetitive short-term testing yielded similar results with minor changes in the rank order. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of our findings, we offer a specific financially prudent internet strategy for both clinicians searching the internet for employment and employers hiring clinicians in academic medical centers.

The Information SuperHighway, Email, The Internet, FTP, BBS, Modems, : all buzz words which are becoming more and more routine in our daily life. Confusing terminology? Hopefully it won't be in a few minutes, all you need is to have a handle on a few basic concepts and terms and you will be on-line with the rest of the "telecommunication experts". These terms all refer to some type or aspect of tools associated with a range of computer-based communication software and hardware. They are in fact far less complex than the instruments we use on a day to day basis as microscopist's and microanalyst's. The key is for each of us to know what each is and how to make use of the wealth of information which they can make available to us for the asking. Basically all of these items relate to mechanisms and protocols by which we as scientists can easily exchange information rapidly and efficiently to colleagues in the office down the hall, or half-way around the world using computers and various communications media. The purpose of this tutorial/paper is to outline and demonstrate the basic ideas of some of the major information systems available to all of us today. For the sake of simplicity we will break this presentation down into two distinct (but as we shall see later connected) areas: telecommunications over conventional phone lines, and telecommunications by computer networks. Live tutorial/demonstrations of both procedures will be presented in the Computer Workshop/Software Exchange during the course of the meeting.
