Other people's opinions

Other people’s opinions can be dangerous – always check it out before making a decision based on them.

We have had 2 recent episodes where our job seekers had been told by other people negative things about the Company they were applying to for a job and nearly pulled out as a result.

This is where word of mouth can be dangerous.

Check out the facts yourself first before making such a critical decision regarding your career and life balance.

Both cases were unfounded and it transpired that these were ex Medical Sales Reps who had left both Companies on a bad note and were both spreading negative feedback about these Companies down the Medical Sales Grapevine.

If you are a job seeker, you need to be very thorough in your methods and your research.

It is okay to hear negative things about the Company you are considering, but check it out – try to get a balanced non biaised opinion.

We are very thorough as Recruitment Consultants within the Medical Industry and will know whether rumours or word of mouth is true or not as we know our Client Companies very well and can therefore advise.

However, it is still imperative you seek out both sides of story and DO NOT let one person’s opinion dictate your career path.

Among the best in the World

Irish Surgery

Irish Surgery

“Irish Surgeons are among the best in the world, Professor Traynor of the RCSI says.

Due to a lack of adequate surgical training posts, it seems Irish trainee doctors have been pushed to greener pastures in a search for sufficient experience elsewhere. This has helped them to join the best in the world in surgery.

Prof Oscar Traynor, Director of the RCSI National Surgical Training Centre recently said that Irish surgeons owe a huge part of their excellence to training abroad.

“I think in general, Irish surgeons are among the best in the world, for a number of reasons. The main reason is that most Irish surgeons do take time to go abroad and do some training and bring back ideas, a new way of looking at things, and new techniques”

He goes on  to say that it is tradition with Irish surgeons to broaden their experience range, where in countries like UK and North America it would be highly unusual to go to this extent.

It seems, for the medical world in any case, the benefits of surgical training abroad has had a phenomenal effect on the Medical industry of Ireland.

And long may it go on!
