Question by Dusty: What exactly is residency(on-the-job training) for health care careers?
A lot of job info sites say that for almost all medical related careers require "residency" or on-the-job training. I'm assuming this is an internship. Is this usually paid?
They say that it requires several years of it.

Best answer:

Answer by ivy1988
That's true. Residency is the time period where you work under another doctor's guidance and in your intended specialty in medicine. It is unpaid, but you do just a much, if not more than the doctors who are paid. It's tough work mentally and physically, but once you're done, you have a blooming career ahead of you as a doctor.

Careers Advice For Young People - How To Get Your Dream Job And Stand Out From The Crowd

Careers advice for young people is a hot subject at the moment with the recession biting hard and University fees set to increase we need to help college graduates as much as possible.

As a student who has just graduated it can be really difficult to stand out from the crowd, especially if you are just sending in a standard resume and boring covering letter. You need to think of something a little different so that prospective employers notice you staright away.

Don't just rush into the first job that comes up either. Have a really good think about what your dream job would be, after all you could be in that job for many years and you don't want to get bored within a few months because you don't have a passion for the work.

Make sure that you research the job you want thoroughly and do your background swotting on any company that you attend an interview with. If you can reel off a few statistics about their turnover and rpofit and loss and also know some history of the company they will remember you more easily when it comes to choosing from all of the applicants for the position.

A great way to get your foot in the door is to start making your own interviews with people in this career sector. All you need is a video phone or inexpensive video camera and even a laptop with a webcam will suffice.

Ring round some of the companies in your area and tell them that you are researching their type of work and would like to do some video interviews. You will be amazed at how many of these companies will welcome the free publicity.

Careers Advice Tips for Recent Graduates

It is all too easy nowadays for you as a recent graduate  to just think about getting any job and hoping that you may enjoy it and stay in employment long enough to pay off your student loan.

However if you have not already been to the career advice service to ask for help then you may find yourself confused and frustrated by the job market when you start to apply for vacancies.

It will help you enormously to think about your career path before actually applying for jobs. First of all what do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Is this something that you could earn a living from? Job satisfaction is sometimes more important in the long run than the starting salary so you need to think carefully before just taking the first job that comes along as you could end up very unhappy working in a job you hate.

]]>

When considering a new career it is helpful if you can find out as much as you can about it before applying, as you may like the idea of the job title, but after investigation find that it is not what you want to do for the rest of your life.

Another aspect to consider is whether you are naturally good at a particular skill or pastime. Some young people are good negotiators in their peer group for example which can be very useful in a sales or junior management position.

The main thing to remember when embarking on your new career is that it is your life not anyone else's and you need to make the correct decisions so that you enjoy your work and lead a happy and fulfilling life.

Once you have completed your degree and start to look for a job, you will soon realise that the competition is extremely high. You need a unique selling point (USP) that makes you stand out from the crowd.

Let say you want to be an accountant for example, the best way to find out the real state of the market and meet influential people in that field is to go out and interview some local accountants in your location. Contact them by phone or email and explain to them that you are conducting research in order to try and secure a job and would like to come to their office and produce a video interview with them about their job. Explain that the whole process will only take 15 Min's and you will conduct the interview at their convenience.

Careers advice for young people - how to get a job as a sports producer on the TV

In our latest series of careers advice for young people we look at being a TV sports producer as a great career choice. The producer makes decisions on which sports matches or events are to be broadcast and also puts together an agenda of discussions for the TV expert panel.
If you have seen Match of the Day you have seen the TV experts discussing the action and also analysing what happened and why. Of course this is not done without preparation to ensure the smooth running of the program which makes for better viewing. This is the job of the sports producer so as you can see it's quite crucial to the program.
There is little seen during the broadcast of a live sporting event that does not fall either under the direct or indirect supervision of a TV sports producer. As a TV sports producer you will work very closely with the director. The director is in charge of all the elements that go to make up the broadcast whilst the producer is responsible for the preparation of all of the elements.
Some of the benefits of being a sports producer on the TV or that you get to meet famous sports personalities, working a lively environment, and get to see plenty of sport.
With a starting salary of around ?18,000 this is quite an attractive option for a recently qualified graduate. To excel in this position you need to be able to make quick informed decisions and also have the ability to put together data and information from various sources.
One downside to this work is that you will probably be working most weekends as that is when most sport is broadcast on the television. It goes without saying that you need to be fairly passionate about sport and if you take part in one or more activities yourself this will only help your cause in landing such a position.
To qualify for this career path you will need good A-level grades of A's and B's and you will probably start your career as a researcher or perhaps an interviewer moving on to become a sub editor. Another way to start this career path is to work in local radio or local television and learn the ropes there. You need to be energetic, enthusiastic and willing learner but the payback is generally worth it.
