This week I'm thrilled to bring back one of my favorite physician recruiters, Syl Marcus from episode 12, a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience. Syl shares valuable insights on navigating your first recruiter call, crafting a compelling resume, effective networking strategies, and the importance of focus when transitioning away from clinical practice. I'm honored to welcome Syl Marcus back and I'm sure you'll find her wisdom truly invaluable.
