Complete your Locum Profile in the Best Possible Way

Locum Profile
So you’ve joined the team of online Do It Yourself locums!  After you’ve completed the registration, the next step is to build your profile.  The goal here is to create a stunning profile – one that will make clients fight to have you join their clinic as an associate!  This is the part where you have the most influence on how you sell yourself.  Why should I hire you?  Stay away from generic or bland words like responsible, diligent, and hardworking.  Save those character sketches for the interview. 

Your profile is the best way to immediately position yourself ahead of the pack, so . . . .  BE CREATIVE!  Cater to your strengths and interests.  Maybe your locum contract in Timmins offered you a unique perspective into the spinal problems of coal miners and it provided you with extensive experience in related fields.  Perhaps you have developed a keen interest in sports therapy working at an associateship near Mount Tremblant ski resort.  Feel free to highlight whatever you’ve learned that will set you apart from others searching for the same position – expand on how it broadened your perspectives in countless ways.    

Don’t be shy.  Add your best picture!  Let the client see a professional picture of you dressed in your Sunday finest.  Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words.  Put up a picture with a bright smile that says, “I’m excited and committed to being an excellent addition to the client’s office”.  You are a warm and personable - your picture reflects your accommodating personality!  Profiles with pictures and a detailed biography always receive the most responses. 

Don’t forget to continually update your profile!

We remain, as always,
