I wonder if any of the helpful souls here have any advice for getting a job in an area where you don't have an established connection. I'm about to finish residency in a low-mid tier program without much name recognition and I'll be doing a surg-path fellowship at a place with a good name, but I don't think the faculty can/will help much with finding a job (I asked about this during the interview) besides serving as references.
I figure I'll start looking for a private practice job maybe around October or so. Personally, I'm pretty flexible in terms of location, but my significant other would like to live closer to her family and we've identified the Pacific Northwest as a good spot. We've both visited the area and I was born there, but didn't grow up there. Otherwise, there's not much on my CV or anything else that would demonstrate a local connection.
I feel like I would do well in an interview, I just need to avoid being passed over because I'm not from the area.
