Networking for Doctors - How to Mega Your Chances of Getting a Job You Want

Doctors often perceive networking as a dirty word, associating it with insincere intentions or manipulative practices. However, networking is an indispensable skill to develop, particularly if you aspire to thrive professionally or advance in your career by exploring exceptional and well-suited opportunities. 
 
Networking is the art of forging connections based on genuine relationships without hidden agendas or expectations. The key to cultivating authentic and valuable relationships and networks lies in offering value upfront. Providing value without expecting anything in return is laying the foundation for meaningful connections that can create opportunities in future.
 
In this episode of Disrupting Doctors Career podcast, we delve into the world of networking with Dr Jonathan Andrews, the Chief Medical Officer of Certific, part of the Medic Footprint furniture and the ultimate networker. 
In the conversation, he shares more about why you need to network, different networking styles and the value of networking. He provides incredible insights and sheds light on the undeniable value of networking and how it opens doors to opportunities, fosters collaborations, and provides a platform for visibility.

Is Network Marketing a Viable Side Hustle for Doctors?
As a doctor, network marketing can be a viable side hustle for you to earn extra income. In network marketing, you can sell products or services directly to consumers through a network of distributors.
While this offers potential for passive income, doctors should be cautious of network marketing companies that may not have ethical practices or make unrealistic income promises. Building a successful network requires effort and time, and doctors should ensure they have enough resources before committing to it.
