GET TO KNOW YOUR RECRUITER

In the current economic downturn, it is essential that you do get inside out with your Recruiter!

The importance of getting to know your Recruiter is paramount - they are your representative for your career.

Rather than judging you by your CV alone, it is imperative they get to know you -

1. Who you are
2. Where you are at
3. Where you have come from
4. Where you are going
5. Why

WATCH YOUR CV

Nurses, watch your CV at all times and be aware of the CV snatchers.

We have warned all job seekers about this before, but unfortunately, this practice continues.

All job seekers when using Agencies or applying for jobs online - keep control of your CV.

Do not authorise anyone to send it on your behalf as this may lead Recruitment Agents to send your CV out to Companies without your knowledge.

This can lead to your CV turning up 2 or 3 times to the same Company and this reflects badly on you, the job seeker as it gives the impression of carelessness.

A job seeker is entitled to a full job description, name of Company and as much time as required before giving informed consent in relation to their CV going forward to a Company for a particular job

When applying for jobs - keep control of your CV - know exactly where it is at all times - write it down to avoid coming across as a sloppy or careless job seeker

Good morning,

I am wondering where have all the Nurses gone?

In particular the Specialist ones - Occupational Health Nurses and Practice Nurses?

They are a Specialist Group, but there is little movement currently within the Nursing market in terms of jobs choices and offers of permanency, so when jobs come up seeking these Specialist Nurses, I am surprised they are so hard to find.

We have had 2 recent Occupational Health Nurse job seeking Senior OH Nurses.

We have also had 2 Practice Nurse jobs within Dublin, again seeking Senior Practice Nurses.

The feedback seems to be that nobody wants to change job in this time of uncertainty and will hold on to what they have with both hands in case it slips.

Understandable.

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for Nurses to dive out of the recession and in to the sea!

Australia - the land of culture and the great outdoors!

As a Nurse who has travelled extensively throughout Australia and worked in the Outback as a Nurse, I would highly reccommend it and what a better time?

While Ireland is providing our Nurses with doom and gloom - HSE contracts not being extended and redundancies everywhere, we are said to be in a recession - Australia is one of the countries world wide that is least effected and 450 visas have become available for Specialist Nurses and Midwives to have all the paperwork and headaches taken care of by a Specialist Agency.

The areas most sought are - Intensive Care - ICU/ITU, CCU, Theatre, Scrub and Recovery and Midwives.

Geographical areas are the main cities - Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin.

It is an experience very worth having as Nursing in Australia is a fantastic experience - especially in the Outback, North or West.

The process would take approx 8 weeks and they are seeking Nurses who will commit to a minimum of 1 year.

So, jump at it - you will not regret it - it is definitely one of the highlights of my life!

Watch your back!

Good afternoon,

I have had many recent enquiries from Nurses wanting to make a change into something else that does not involve lifting and unsocial hours!

This is a common query and thankfully, there are solutions to a bad back and unsocial hours -

Alot of Nurses I know personally and those I come in to contact with on a daily basis as a Medical Recruitment Agency have bad backs due to years of strenuous lifting which has caused this desire to change career.

Medical Sales is one option, but it depends on the type of injury.

Sitting all day in a car and then a Doctors waiting room may hinder rather than help the back.

Research is also another popular one - but again, sitting at a desk all day long may not work.

Changing direction may involve going back to study depending on your circumstances, part time or at night and it will definitely prove worth it when you can work more social hours and save your back from any further injury.

Depending on what the back injury is, there are a few options which may be considered -

1. Practice or Community Nursing
2. Out Patients Nursing
3. Private Clinic Consultants Suites
4. Ward Secretary
5. Medical or GP Sales
6. Research
7. Air Hostess
8. Reducing hours, if able to afford it
9. Medical Recruitment

I made the change from Nursing into Medical Recruitment 9 years ago due to a back injury - and never looked back!

There’s hope for us all!

Hi guys,

This post applies to all Nurses, Midwives and Medical Professionals on the current jobs market.

Due to current economy, HSE and recruitment squeezes occurring in most areas, if you are using a Recruitment Agency to help you find a job - watch your CV!

In particular, if you are using a number of Medical Recruitment Agencies, try to limit it to 2 or 3 that you know and trust.

We have had 4 recent episodes of job seekers’ CV’s being sent forward to jobs they know nothing about and did not give their consent for.

This is bad Recruitment Practice and anyone using Recruitment Agencies must be very careful to ask their Recruitment Consultant to tell them about the job first before sending their CV across to any prospective employers.

Please go to www.nrf.ie to be sure of the Recruitment Code of Practice.

Recruitment Agencies are there to supply job seekers and employers a service and to make finding a new job a little easier and hopefully quicker.

Bad practice slows the process down and hinders rather than helps the process.

Control and watch your CV and ensure your Recruitment Consultant requests your permission before sending your CV anywhere - otherwise, it reflects badly on the job seeker as employers feel they are being careless and desperate if their CV turns up repeatedly for the same job.
