Positioning yourself for career advancement

Regardless of whether you are actively looking for a job or are happy in your current role, there are a number of ways to position yourself for career advancement in the healthcare industry. These include advanced degrees, continuing education courses and professional development.

Partnering with a recruiter or executive search firm can also be a useful tool in your career advancement – even if you are not currently looking for a job.

For healthcare professionals, a recruiter can: 

  • Provide market intelligence. Because recruiters are constantly reviewing job openings, they have unique insight into the job market. They know what skills are required of healthcare employees, and have an awareness of the salary ranges for positions throughout the country.
  • Share unique opportunities. Whether you are happy in your current role or looking for a change, recruiters can share opportunities that you may have not known about otherwise. These can open doors to new career opportunities.
  • Help you take control. When the time comes for a career change, the last thing you want to feel is helpless. Working with a recruiter will allow you to stay on top of the latest trends and keep your skills up-to-date so that you can take control of your career when the time is right.
