However, it is handy to always have a good CV because you never know when opportunities will come.

At Medical Engineers, we want to ensure you to get the best opportunity to work in Medical Technology industry since we are working closely with companies in Medical Industry to ensure that you are the best candidates for the role.

So, when you register and upload your CV into our database, make sure that you do not make these simple mistakes and your next career move might be sooner than you think.

No PDF, please

Understanding which file format to send when applying jobs can be difficult. Samantha Blythe-Moore the Managing Director of Medical Engineers said that sending you should upload the Word (.docx) format of your CV. When Samantha or another consultant at Medical Engineers think that you are a strong candidate for the role, then they might upload your CV into the client’s database (of course we will ask for your agreement). However, this might not be the case if the database did not recognise .pdf format and this could be your worst nightmare! You might have to say goodbye to your dream job because the recruiters will remove your CV from the potential candidate list.

In addition, Samantha said that to ensure that your CV does not have coloured fonts. Make sure that you are using a black coloured font throughout your CV to maintain professionalism.

Too Much Information Isn’t Necessarily Good

Despite the popularity of wearable devices in the recent years for health monitoring process, the ultrathin films and rubber sheets might have a lack of breathability and not safe for long term use. Therefore, a group of Japanese scientists are developing a very light and thin hypo-allergic sensor that can be worn on the skin to reduce the discomfort.

By spraying a tiny amount of water on the electrode from nanoscale meshes containing a water-soluble polymer, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and gold layer materials, the sensor will stick easily to the skin without interfering the curvilinear surfaces of human skin, such as sweat pores and the ridges of an index finger’s fingerprint pattern.

The scientist has proved the durability and safety of the device through repeated bending and stretching. The 20 participants involved in the research did not experience skin inflammation even after wearing the device for more than a week.

Lastly, the rise of breathable devices might surpass the popularity of wearable devices, as the researchers indicated that the device will provide a more accurate monitoring. In addition, further research is currently undertaking research to integrate breathable devices to monitor athletes’ physiological signals and bodily motion without impeding their training.

The interview between you and the candidate should be the most exciting process during the recruitment process. The main goal for the team at Medical Engineers is to ensure that you get the best candidate for the role to do the job with confidence.

However, how do I know if the candidate is the right person to execute the job? Our experts at Medical Engineers shared the three simple guiding questions to ask yourself to ensure that you pick the right candidate from the initial the interview.

Did they ask enough questions related to the role?

Ask yourself this question. If the candidate did not ask the right questions related to the job, then you have to be cautious because they might not understand the expectation. Asking the related questions regarding the job is the primary indication that they have the motivation and comprehension of the role. For example, they might explain their previous experience working with a particular project management software but you know that the organisation might not use that software. It is good that you can gain that information but if they do not question about the mechanism of the software in your organisation, then how can be sure that they are willing to learn?

Will the candidate contribute to the overall success of the business?

Do you think that their skills and ability to collaborate with other members of the organisation would help the business to grow? Try to ask them questions that reveal on their expectations from the role. Questions such as: How good are you when working in a group? How do you see yourself when working in a large group? Listen carefully and make sure that you are fully satisfied with the responses of the candidates since you know that they have the drive and ability to contribute ideas to grow the business.

How well is the candidate to collaborate with other team members?

The ability to collaborate ideas is vital to ensure that each member of the team can develop their personal skills to innovate. You might want to consider inviting some other members of the team during the interview. It is an opportunity for the team to get the first-hand experience to meet with the candidate. If the team feel like they cannot find the chemistry with the new candidate during the interview, then it is a sign that they might not fit with the role. However, be mindful to be objective when listening to the feedback from the team members regarding the candidate. You might not be able to impress everyone but use their feedback as an input that helps you decide the candidate suitability with the team member. Also, be cautious that this is the first meeting between the candidates with you.

The next time you are going to meet with your candidate for an interview, listen to small details such as their motivation to work in the organisation and their willingness to contribute ideas to grow the business. Ask yourself these questions to ensure that you can pick the right candidates for the job.

We at Medical Engineers love Mondays, therefore, we want to kickstart your week with the #easy #dress #code guidelines for #women

In the previous post, our expert at Medical Engineers emphasised three simple guidelines on how to pick the right candidate. Social media is the gateway for candidates to learn about your organisation. Approximately 1 in 5 potential candidates have applied for a job through social media and 79 percent of job seekers utilise social media to find information about a job (Glassdoor). Therefore, it is important to have a strong presence on social media to attract the best potential candidates.

Set the Objectives and Design a Digital Blueprint

The first step is to determine the goal and objectives of your social media activities. Do you want to focus on raising the awareness of the organisation’s culture? Or, would you like to be the thought leader in your own industry? Try to answer those initial questions as a starting point to draft a social media guidelines for the organisation.

Whether you are familiar with social media or not, the digital blueprint of the organisation must be easily understood. During the initial process of drafting the guidelines, you might want to start with the initial guiding question: What social media platforms that your organisation should establish? For example, you want to connect with key opinion leaders amongst medical devices industry, then you might want to use Twitter and LinkedIn since you can follow their ‘tweets’ and engage with them through @ ‘replies’. Next, what are the content themes that I should emphasise each day? How many times should I post those contents on our platforms? How do I know the success of my content? How ‘mobile friendly’ is my content? The complexity of the digital blueprint will rely on that information, therefore you need to prioritise the what activities that you want to execute on social media each day.

Monitor the performance of each content on different platforms to determine the success of your social media activities. Familiarise yourself with the ‘jargons’ such as impressions, reach, conversion, CPM (cost per thousand). Focus on the number of ‘likes’ on Facebook, Tweets impression on Twitter, or Followers on LinkedIn when analysing the insights of the post. Try to grasp the knowledge on the changes of those elements. Find out which post generates the most number of comments or likes or sometimes you do not have any engagement. Use this information as your future guideline to produce content that can engage the audiences. The key to monitoring the activities on social media is to ensure that you can yield the content based on the interest of the audiences without losing your brand identity.

You are Talking to a Human

So, you have identified your audiences and established the social media platforms with a sufficient number of followers. Next, your job is to nurture the relationship with them. If you are using social media to be the thought leader in the industry, then make sure that you are using the right lingo. Do not use jargons if you know the primary audiences of your social media is fresh graduates. It might not appeal to them. Also, do not focus your effort on producing content about strategies to balance between study and work while your followers are mostly PhD graduates, where their interest might be to find out the latest research on medical devices industry. They might unfollow you because the content is irrelevant. Remember that they are a human. Interact with your followers by ‘RT’ (retweeting) or click the ‘favourite’ button on Twitter on interesting content are the key driver for you to be successful in social media.

Sponsored post

If you are still in the process of exploring the power of social media, then sponsored (paid) post might not be the priority. Although, investing a small amount of capital for a particular post on social media to attract a higher number of audiences could potentially increase the number of conversation between you and the followers. Ask yourself whether the investment will help you to reach the goals and objectives. Also, make sure that you understand how to track the performance of your capital, therefore, you can determine the return on investment.

It does not mean that you cannot grow and engage the followers of your social media when you decide not to put some financial incentives to the post. An organic post can be viral when you can attract the attention of the candidates however you need to think about the ‘shareability’ factor of the content.

It is our task at Medical Engineers to find you the best candidate for the role. However, creating a clear and strong presence on social media will help to convince the candidate to decide to work for the organisation. Always refer to the objectives on the digital blueprint. Identified the key audiences to know which social media to pursuit, then start producing contents to engage the conversation. Lastly, do not ignore the power of data from the social media analytics to find out the performance of your content.

We hope that the article can help you to re-strategise social media activities. A strong presence on social media would not only attract but have the ability to give confidence for candidates to work in your organisation.

Magneto Thermal Stimulation is the latest brain imaging method to conduct a remote and non-invasive method to stimulate a particular cell inside the brain that triggers activity deep inside the brain that allows the researchers to find out the impact the physiology. Despite some similar methods such as fMRI, CT, PET, EEG, MEG, and MIRS, Magneto Thermal Stimulation can be an alternative to avoid using highly invasive wires to stimulate the brain impulses.

The video will illustrate the situation when a specific strand of DNA heated after the injection of magnetic nanoparticles in the designated area of the brain and ’causes the nanoparticles magnetisation to flip rapidly, generating heat that warms the targeted cells’ (Chandler, 2015).

Professor Polina Anikeeva, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering said that they would like ‘to understand better how our method works through neural recordings and behavioural experiments, and assess whether there are any other side effects to tissues in the affected area.’ Anikeeva said this method enables researchers to develop therapies for diseases that involves the injury of specific sets of neurons such as traumatic brain injuries, Parkinson diseases, and dystonia.
