Navigating the Medical Job Application Process

In order to apply for a medical job in Australia you need to pass certain eligibility laws. You have to be an Australian citizen or go through the proper process if you are coming from another country, you must pass certain clearances and have the right qualifications all of which will be listed in the job posting.

You should also have yourself a professional medical CV for employers to see. Some positions will expect applicants to undergo certain checks including having proof of identity, training, security, citizenship and passing certain police checks.

Before applying for a medical job

You can find vacant medical jobs in a number of ways but the most convenient for a lot of people is online. You can look at job vacancy applications there, submit a medical CV and so on.

Before you get to that state it is important to navigate the process so you properly understand what the job entails and what it requires. This way you know whether you are a good fit and are likely to be favoured well during the process of applying. Look at the details of the job, where it is, the salary range, and its classification.

Check you meet all the eligibility requirements and that you can fulfill the responsibilities you will have. Make sure you meet any application limitations or requests, for example, they might have a request for how many pages you can submit. Make sure you check when the deadline is for the application so you do not miss it. Jobs where the vacancy has closed will not take applications after that point.

Take care with your application

Sometimes they might want you to fill in everything from your medical CV into their application process and sometimes you might need to fill some things in as well as attach your CV. You might need to cut and paste answers or upload documents too. If there is a request for the type of document format, be sure to follow it. Tips for writing your response during the application include;

• Be very clear and concise in your answers
• Demonstrate your experience, skills, and what makes you capable and best for the job
• Check and check again your grammar and spelling
• Avoid using double-spacing or returns as that counts towards any word count
• Stick to any limits they give in terms of words or pages
• In most online applications you will need your personal details, your up-to-date medical CV, responses in the application and two work references
