I was in academics for 20 years, and was a full Professor of Medicine with Tenure. 5 years ago I left for a large private GI group. People often ask me about pros and cons of both worlds. Here are my top tips to consider. #gitwitter #medtwitter #MedX

I see this tension in job searches all the time: strategy vs. pride, fit vs. aspiration. Resume that tells the entire career history vs. one that gives a concise, digestible message. Curious—how would you play it? 10/10

What do you think—should candidates aim lower for strategy, or hold the line at their level? 9/10

The right career story unlocks the right doors. The wrong story leaves you stuck outside—even if your résumé is flawless. 8/10

If the job you're applying to feels aligned—because it supports your career vision—share the right story, not the whole story. 7/10

If tailoring feels like swallowing pride, you’re chasing the wrong job at the wrong level. 6/10

Here’s what this reminded me about careers, hiring, and storytelling: Brilliant candidates get skipped when they look overqualified. Hiring teams prefer obvious best fits. 4/10

My job wasn’t to argue. My job was to reshape the story—tone it down, fit the strategy. Results TBD. 3/10

The twist? They were applying for lower-level roles at bigger companies. Their choice. 2/10

I worked with a C-suite leader whose background was flawless. The kind of person you could drop in a forest at 10am—by dinner, they’d have a 6-course meal and 12 guests. 1/10

@InterviewsChat As is strategic interviewing!

Unpopular truth: your job search only succeeds when you influence it. Stop flailing. Start aiming. 5/5

Networking isn’t a suggestion. It’s the engine that turns job seekers into credible candidates. 4/5

Chasing “perfect” jobs isn’t the trap. Only applying online is. Nobody ever hired a resume, so go be the candidate your ideal hiring team actually wants to meet. 3/5

A resume that’s all fluff, vague KPIs, and empty claims is a lonely path to nowhere. The good news: it can be rebuilt. 2/5

Yes, the economy matters. Yes, job postings vanish overnight. Complaining won’t open doors, but it will erode your brand. Focus where you can actually move the needle: Your resume, your approach, your communication. 1/5
