How to Get Health Tech Jobs for Doctors?

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
