Hello doctors.
Hope you all doing good.
Is there anybody been able to secure a job in NHS via NHS jobs site?
Since the applications gets so much distorted when transferred from nhs to trac site making it difficult to read and understand.
Applying since 9 months with not even a single interview
If somebody could answer please.
Thankyou.
This was a constant worry I had when applying. The transfer to Trac Jobs would get rid of paragraphs and it would look terrible. My way around it was to start adding additional empty spaced lines before the paragraphs on the NHS Jobs portal, which would translate better on Trac jobs. Though in the end, none of it mattered as the interviews came through with or without me altering the NHS Jobs format. So if it gives you any peace of mind, add the additional gaps and it’ll look much more organised on Trac. If it gives you further peace of mind, I promise you that it doesn’t matter and you will start getting interviews very soon.
