Getting a job in a new country can be a challenging task, filled with uncertainties and obstacles. In my case, after sending dozens or even hundreds of resumes to hospitals and clinics in Portugal, both in person, online, and by mail, I realized I needed a new approach. The solution came when I finally found the courage to contact a recruitment agency specializing in healthcare professionals.
The Beginning of the Journey
After completing my nursing degree, I decided I wanted to expand my professional horizons in the United Kingdom. Motivated and full of hope, I started sending resumes to various hospitals. I did this in every possible way: I delivered resumes in person, sent them by mail, and applied online. However, after months of waiting, the responses were non-existent and discouraging.
The Change
It was then that I heard about recruitment agencies specialized in connecting healthcare professionals with opportunities in the UK. Initially, I was sceptical. Could a recruitment agency really make a difference? After much reflection, I decided to take the step and contacted them.
The Result: First Job in Northern Ireland
Thanks to continuous support, I soon secured my first work contract. I was hired as a geriatric nurse in Northern Ireland. The transition to the new job was smooth, thanks to the preparation I received from the agency. And shortly after, I transitioned to the hospital setting, which was my career goal.
Now, after my positive experience, I am part of the Vitae Professionals team because I want many more healthcare professionals to have an even easier and smoother recruitment and career progression experience.
