Thumbs-up to the NHS’ job application website, not only is it user-friendly but it also saves and updates your details from each application so you can apply for multiple jobs without having to fill-in the form each time.
So far I have applied for three positions:
- Health Care Assistant (Department of Medicine for the Elderly)
- Voluntary Community Responder (Ambulance Services)
- Clerical Officer/MLA (Pathology Department)
The MLA position I applied for was on the 12/12/08 and I’ve yet to hear anything. The website states if you haven’t heard anything within four weeks then to take that as you haven’t been successful. Hmmmmm…. I desperately need to get a job at the Hospital soon, otherwise I’ll be pushed to achieve my six month health-care related setting for access to medicine. If all else fails I will start applying to health-care homes etc, though in truth I was hoping for a Hospital environment as I would have a greater chance of becoming friends with doctors and other specialists and possibly asking for some shadowing etc. We’ll see.
On a separate note, I have made some changes to the homepage today to reduce the page real-estate of journal entries. The idea being to allow me write more frequently smaller updates without over-shadowing the pre-med and other articles.
