Applying for House Officer Positions after NZREX
Applying for First Year House Officer Positions in New Zealand
There is a centralized application for first-year house officer positions in NZ, restricted to NZ and Aus medical grads, excluding NZREX candidates. As an NZREX candidate, you'll need to apply to various DHBs on your own.
Application Methods:
Email Applications
In-Person Applications
While emailing might be easier, handing in your CV personally could be more effective. For most candidates, emailing is more feasible as visiting every DHB is impractical. However, visiting your local DHB and meeting someone at the RMO office could be beneficial. Follow up your visit with an email to express your interest.
Steps to Apply:
Visit Your Local DHB: Apply in person and follow up with an email.
Call Other DHBs: Express your interest and follow up with an email. Be prepared for potential rejections.
Tips for Success:
Frequent Contact: Send your CV every few weeks/months to show continued interest. Highlight your achievements in the email body.
Know Your Contacts: Instead of general emails, find specific contacts like the RMO coordinator and CC them in your application email.
Persistent Effort: Don't rely on a single attempt. Be innovative and proactive.
Timing: There's no perfect time to apply. However, avoid Nov/Dec when NZ grads start working. Apply to all DHBs regardless of size.
Competition:
NZ & Aus Grads: They often get priority.
Other IMGs: Your competition is mainly other NZREX candidates. Be smart and active in your approach. Apply for observerships, make contacts, and get noticed.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteNot an NZREX passer yet but with regard to applying for observership,do you know if it's paid? do I also have to send CV/apply through the DHB and just let them know your interested to do observership?
They said too that observership just helps you gain good references, and will somehow help in job application later on. Is that true?
Thanks!
Thanks alot ��

Good work doctor, extremely informative. My daughter has just completed MBBS graduation in India. She holds NZ residence class visa. Your blog will help us in making decision whether she should pursue post graduation in India or to prepare for NZRex and get into House Officer post. Thanks for the detailed article. Cheers
