What makes me a bit sad about this is that sooooo many students say they want to be doctors without understanding what it's going to take or what's actually involved. I always rewind to find what they think a doctor does, and what appeals to them about it, before starting to help them build a career plan. Nearly all of them want to be doctors because they want to take care of people and make them better - which isn't doctoring! Thankfully, there are so many caring professions that they soon find alternatives. I never say never, but unless they are very academic, driven, a little bit cut-throat, and single-minded, to become a doctor they are going to have to take a circuitous path - even longer than the traditional route. In my opinion, caring people who are willing to keep plugging away at health sciences / Access courses/ Foundation years etc will make much better doctors than some A* students. #careers #medicine #ambition #realistic https://lnkd.in/g35CxJ6x

One day, you’re attending your lectures and think, “When should I start looking for a job in my chosen career path?” Now, the answer here shouldn’t surprise you. Ready? - This month's blog, I share some tips and recommendations for students getting ready for their first healthcare job.

Seeking Employment References A dear friend, a seasoned doctor, has graciously provided references from various stages of his career, all of which have been glowing. However, there's one outstanding request from his Training Development Programmer, who has since retired. The prospective employer insists on a reference from the retiree. While the retiree is willing to acknowledge acquaintance with my friend, commenting on specific clinical matters after at least a decade-long gap is posing a challenge. While I understand the necessity of references, I implore employers to respect the preferences of not only retired individuals but those not in a position to provide a reference. Instead, prospective employers should seek insights from current employers/professionals who can offer up-to-date, relevant insight into candidates. Let's support each other in navigating the evolving landscape of professional references with mutual respect and understanding. #RetiredProfessional #Newemployers #EmploymentReferences #RespectfulCommunication 🤝

Healthcare heroes, raise your stethoscopes! Ditch Your Resolution Day isn't just about ditching that "eat-more-greens" goal (though good on you if you're still going!), it's about ditching the healthcare job hunt blues and reigniting your passion for healing! 💉 Ditch the "one-size-fits-all" approach: Ditch the generic applications and tailor your resume and cover letters to each specific healthcare setting and position. Highlight your transferable skills and showcase your genuine desire to make a difference. 💉 Network like a pro: Ditch the isolation and connect with fellow healthcare professionals online and offline. Join professional organizations, attend conferences, and reach out to mentors in your desired field. 💉 Sharpen your skills, don't just list them: Ditch the passive resume and become a lifelong learner. Take online courses, attend workshops, and volunteer to stay ahead of the curve. 💉 Own your unique value: Ditch the self-doubt and showcase your strengths. Highlight your specific passions within healthcare, whether it's research, patient care, or community outreach. 💉 Embrace the power of "no" (and "pivot"): Ditch the fear of rejection. Not every interview will be a perfect fit, and that's okay! Remember, Ditch Your Resolution Day isn't about giving up, it's about reshaping your healthcare job hunt for maximum impact! #healthcare #medicaljobs #medicalcare #jobhunt #protouchstaffing
