The Career Equation …..
……it’s more than a paycheck
![Page 4: Preparing for the Job Search](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051215/56814bbd550346895db88f9f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Career Equation
Examine Yourself:
When it comes to work, what do I naturally enjoy doing?
What am I naturally good at? What energizes me? What stresses me? What motivates me? What annoys me?

The Career Equation
Examine the Big Picture
Do I want to be part of a small group or big group? Do I want a rural location, the suburbs, or the city? What type of patients do I want to work with: wealthy,
middle class,, or those in financial need? Do I want to see high volume of patients in shorter bursts?
Or work with a smaller number of patients for a longer duration?
What type of provider-patient culture do I want to be part of? What type of peer culture do I want to be part of?

The Career Equation
Do something where you can make a difference

If you love what you do, you will make a difference in
the world.6
