[Workplace] The whole process of excellent nutritionists' job hunting

, text

Graduated from university majoring in nutrition and studied the course of unified nutrition institution. Immediately face the challenge of job hunting.

She asked, "Miss Li, how should I choose a career? I think it is appropriate for enterprises to apply for health management positions? "

I replied, "Not really. First of all, at present, most health management workers are workers with medical background. Second, the industry still focuses on medical device inspection, but nutrition is not widely used. I suggest you consider a nutrition position or a hospital career, a medical school teacher. "

She said, "Is there any relevant information?"

I replied, "I might as well contact and find it myself."

A week later.

She said, "Teacher, there is a nutritionist in the hospital where I live. I am so nervous that I don't know what knowledge to prepare. "

I replied, "I feel that I haven't mastered knowledge until I use it." For hospitals, how to propose a healthy diet structure for patients, provide nutritional knowledge to prevent diseases, and simply detect nutritional status is the most important. The other is the communication ability of teamwork. Where do you think you are weak? "

She said: "There is little practical knowledge and lack of assurance."

I replied, "To apply for this position, you must convey your advantages to the interviewer and let the other person feel what your core competencies are.". As for your shortcomings, you need to learn and improve quickly. This positive attitude makes people like it. "

She said, "teacher, but I feel I don't know what to say."

I said, "It's normal. If you are really nervous, tell yourself to pay more attention to manners and achieve the effect of relaxation. "

After the interview.

She said: "Teacher, the interviewer was not interested in my nutrition certificate, and asked me how my clinical skills were, saying that my current knowledge and theory were too much to meet the requirements of the hospital. However, the overall quality is quite satisfactory. "

I replied: "Hospital work must consider whether it can actually start work immediately. So the knowledge you must master is: 1. A solid foundation; 2. Outstanding specialty in the field of nutrition; 3. Familiarity with the current working mode: such as consulting different patients and different needs; Be able to design dietary patterns for different groups of people; Services to meet the needs of adjuvant therapy patients ..... There is no way to avoid these. You can find yourself an internship opportunity to understand this process, or you can complete this process through simulation, otherwise it is not suitable for hospital needs. "

She said: "I have passed the preliminary interview, but there is still a test." I only have half a month. "

I replied, "Then prepare the above aspects."

She looked for opportunities to participate in the nutrition practice in the hospital.

She said: "At present, I have basically understood the workflow and capacity requirements of the Nutrition Department. Teacher, how should I prepare? "

I replied, "1. Organize the workflow you know into a perfect plan report; 2. Show your specialty in the Nutrition Department; 3. Design several business scenarios that you can handle, and then provide them to the examiner to let him know your current ability ... Of course, there are other aspects that need my support. Please feel free to ask me. "

The final interview is over.

Her phone rang: "It has been signed."

I said, "This is just the beginning of your work. Whether you can win this position for a long time depends on your systematic mastery of the skills of this position. "

She said, "Yes, sir, thank you!"

I sincerely wish the student success in finding a job. Her efforts and self-improvement along the way are commendable and commendable. For her future development, I also reminded her to pay more attention to her own shortcomings, so as to truly meet the requirements of the post, serve people at all levels and play a nutritional role.
