How to Get Health Tech Jobs for Doctors?

16 minutes

In this episode, I tackle the frequently asked question about how to get a job in Health Tech as a doctor.

I explain the 3 main approaches that can be used when looking for a new role and share my unique knowledge on how each can be used in the most effective way

With health tech being a relatively new sector, there are fantastic opportunities you can access as a doctor.

This is an informative listen that provides useful approaches to move you to the role you want to have.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are 3 main ways of getting a job in health tech – the traditional Front door approach, the Side door – where you enter either traditionally or through project work then move into other roles, and the Back door – through a warm network referral

The front door approach is the traditional process of applying for a role when it’s advertised

Many jobs are never advertised so this can limit the roles and opportunities

The side door approach lets you test out the company you are interested in by doing some project work

If a company already knows and trusts an individual when something becomes available that individual will be their choice

With the back door approach, you need to identify anyone you know who can give you a referral, look at your network of colleagues, friends, and family for connections to the area you want to work in

Events are a great way of meeting new people and building new relationships

Approximately 20-30% of new hires come from referrals alone

BEST MOMENTS

‘You need someone who can champion you into getting a project or job’

'LinkedIn is a huge network resource for finding other doctors'
