Applications and Interviews
If you're interested, you can email me directly at Jacob.Rosser@renewyouchicago.com
In your email, please spend a few sentences describing your interest in private practice and what skills you may already have that would help you achieve the goals for internship. Please also include a copy of your resume or CV.
The interview process typically takes place in two steps - Christy Thielen and I will provide a more administrative interview where we talk with you about the requirements for the internship, learn more about your interests and goals, and generally assess if the site would be a good fit for you.
Phase two entails meeting with some of the other clinicians on the team that were hired after their internship. The goal for this interview is so you can ask some honest questions from people who have been through the internship experience, as well as for the team to get a sense of how they feel you would fit in the overall culture of the practice.
