Answer to Question 2

D
Some effective methods to incorporate into your plan for implementing a job search are networking
through family, friends, and acquaintances; reviewing positions advertised in the newspaper (also
Internet searches and recruitment agencies/Web sites); and attending a job fair. Showing up at as many
hospitals as you can and asking for a job is not a productive means of job searching, even though one
may stumble upon a position inadvertently. It is best to do a preliminary search and research the
targeted facilities before contacting them.
