I began my career in health care working for LA weight loss in the Philadelphia suburbs. I helped 100's or people lose weight and be healthy.

I do not think going around HR is a bad thing. Let's face it, sometimes it's not what you know but who you know. Sure you don't want to go in somewhere acting like you are the best thing since sliced...
Wow. I think it's so crazy that you would be outbid the running with a month or so of home care. Maybe you can speak with someone in charge of the residency program and work something out. Wouldn't...
I would say go to the interview. Until you are at the clinic working or have signed something stating that you indeed have the clinic job, you don't have the job. That's just how I look at it. Then if...
