Keywords in Healthcare Management

It is important to find your key to success. While looking at job ads, it is crucial to find the major keywords that employers have implanted in their ad. Once these keywords have been identified, they should be put to work in your resume. You want to make it easy for employers to make connections between your resume and their job ad.

As a third year student, I am working toward my healthcare management degree. I was searching for hospital administrative positions when I started this job search, but I quickly realized I should not limit myself to that. Being a third year student, I incorporated the hunt for an internship as well.

I learned many things on this job search. The main lesson I learned is to be specific in what I am searching for. I found a lot of different jobs come up when I searched “healthcare management” which led me to refine my search to “clinic manager” or “hospital administrator”. I also found that I had to really look at the requirements for the jobs, some clinic manager positions required a nursing license, where some required the healthcare management degree.

Job Ad Research

I researched a number of jobs ranging from internships to CEO level positions.
