Before attending your Medical job interview, whether it be for a Radiographer, Pharmacist or Director of Nursing job, there is an essential interview checklist you should be aware of -

All too often, we hear the following comments following a Medical job interview -

1. They knew nothing about the Company or its competitors
2. They only did the basic research of reading the website ‘about us’ page
3. They knew little about the Medical Products
4. They were very nervous
5. They arrived late
6. They did not make an effort with their appearance
7. They did not listen to the questions asked
8. They had no questions for us
9. They did not understand the Job Description
10. They lied on their CV

Needless to say, this list tells you what are the most essential things to do before attending for any Medical job interview -

• Prepare your journey in advance, down to where to park
• Know the Company, its products and the competitors
• Research beyond the basics - go the extra mile
• Know and understand the Job you are being interviewed for well
• Always have 1 or 2 questions prepared you wish to ask the interviewers
• Use your Medical Recruitment Agency in preparation for this interview - they will know this Company well, its ethos, preferred Candidate type, what to expect at your interview and the interview process
• Know who you are meeting and do a search on LinkedIn/Google before hand so you know who they are
• Always listen to the questions being asked, take your time before answering and clarify if unsure
• It is okay to be nervous, this usually indicates you really want this job - it is how you control or deal with the nerves - remember - forewarned is forearmed - the more you know and research, the less nervous you will be
• Never lie on your CV, you will always be tripped up in a professional Medical interview
• Look sharp and professional in your appearance always

When applying for a Medical job in Ireland - remember -

 

1. Your interview is a sales process - you are selling yourself to a potential employer
2. Close the sale - interview - ie ask when you will hear, what is the next stage etc
3. On your CV - do not use initials or acronyms - do not assume the reader knows what any of these stand for - always write words out in full
4. Outline your relevant Irish experience
5. Ireland is a small country and as a result it is unwise to exaggerate or lie about contacts you have in the Medical Industry in Ireland
6. Equally, if they are genuine contacts, this can work to your benefit - dropping names can be useful
7. Competition is at an all time high, so ensure your information is up to date, relevant and accurate
8. Research involved in going for an interview now seeks the Candidate who goes ‘well beyond’ the usual format of reading up a website etc - ie someone who shows initiative
9. Always have a reason for leaving after each job on your CV, otherwise you are left open to assumations being made that may not be true.
10. A strong and dry hand shake is important and demonstrates a genuine person.

These are just some useful tips when applying for any Medical job in Ireland
