When Dr. Christopher Vu decided to relocate to a new state — where he had no professional contacts or connections — he figured he'd need some help navigating the the bumpy road ahead of him. He turned to a staffing agency to find a new
emergency medicine job in
California.

“It was overwhelming because I did not know much about the city,” he says.
His recruiter helped him learn more about the area and the job opportunities that were available. Once he had a good idea of the job he was interested in, there was the matter of getting ready for the interview.
