*Closed* - Work Experience and Voluntary Work [Part 1 of 2]

I love how people are only doing it for their applications, If you're only doing it so your personal statement looks good then medicine is not for you. It is fake care and this annoys me so much, it isn't just about doing it to look like you care you're meant to do it because you do

Does it have to be voluntary? I've just applied for a paid position at a carehome and got an interview, perhaps you could try that?

I had an interview which was supposed to be for an hour but I found that it was actually really short and the majority of the time was form-filling, orientation etc.
It might be the same with you?

I've just been offered a week of work exp in June but the problem is that I have school in that week and one of the days is a really important day where attendance is compulsory. What should I do? I've been looking forward to this placement for quite a while now...

Hi

i want to make a work experience placement in hospitals, but it requires you to make the call.

Can anyone help me on what to say when i call them, i am really bad in verbal phone communication.

many regards

Be polite but keep it short and sweet as these people will be dealing with a lot of requests such as yours.

Hi, my name is [name] and I'm from [school/college/uni]. I'm really interested in medicine as a career, and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to arrange to have some work experience in your hospital?

Take it from there

One other option is tracking down the email address of that hospital's HR department. They are the ones usually handling work experience placements, and will email you back to tell you exactly what you need to do and how.

The only time I had to actually talk on the phone was when setting a date for an informal interview to decide where my placement is going to be.

#LE: And I got negged because I was sharing my experience and trying to help? What?
And the guy above me got negged for offering sensible advice? Sweet.
