A reflection on why I started out on this project and a description of the CV consult service... The more time I spend podcasting and debriefing with health professionals on either side of the interview panel – the more I understand that there is a significant knowledge gap for clinicians transitioning into hospital and community work or new graduates applying to hospital and community jobs for the first time… Thankfully, when it comes to interviewing for hospital and community jobs the difference between candidates is marginal and a relatively small bit of the right preparation goes a long way… If you are interested in some help for an upcoming application or want feedback on a recent application - get in contact at https://healthlinked.org/contact/

A discussion here on the benefits and barriers to hosting students at your workplace in private practice, community and aged care... In many states there is a 'hangover' of students requiring placements to meet graduation requirements. There are also many accounts of private practices struggling to hire new graduates... hosting student placements is not only a fantastic professional challenge but it is also a great way to hire and we discuss why here...

We are back with Christie - risk services manager at Guild. In our last podcast we touched on some common reasons why AHP's get complaints or notifications sent to AHPRA and touched on social media... however it's such a broad topic and with so many AHP's potentially misusing it... we decided to leave an entire deep dive into this very subject...
