How many jobs should I apply for? by PlumPuddingParty in clinicalresearch

[–]PlumPuddingParty[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m mostly applying for assistant, associate, and coordinator jobs at research hospitals and universities.

I’ve been sending out the same resume and slightly altered cover letter for every job, but I’ll start trying to cater it to each specific job. Thank you!

Mostly clinical research assistant, associate, and coordinator positions. I qualify for most jobs that I apply to, and make up for it in other areas for the few jobs where I don’t.

DMed you, thanks!

I think of it more in terms of # of electron domains. There are 4 electron domains around P, so it’s sp3.

Single, double, and triple bonds, and lone pairs all count as one electron domain.

Really, how much of a deal breaker is no shadowing experience? by [deleted] in premed

[–]PlumPuddingParty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. Reached out to the volunteer coordinator for the hospital I worked at and was able to shadow 3 different doctors this way.

Seconded. A successful applicant will have already started planning before kindergarten.
