How to play the recruitment game...

Any advice welcome.

Currently a consultant (pretty junior).

Applied for two jobs in a different region. We need to move to that region pretty soon.

One has put out the job essentially for me (is how I read it) and I have an interview imminently.

Second place haven't shortlisted yet and I don't know how fast they'll be; this would be my preferred place, but far more uncertain whether I get it even though I know I'm a strong candidate.

In this climate, do I just need to bank what I can right now? Any thoughts or advice would be very welcome!

Thanks

When to negotiate? (nodal points, SPA)

Hi all,

Looking for some advice.

I'm a year one consultant, waiting on an advert from another hospital where I believe I stand a very good chance of getting the post (less desirable location, perfect for me).

The latter hospital offers worse terms (namely fewer SPA) than my current place, and while I know its not contractual, my current place did not bump me up the pay scale for dual CCTing.

I'd like to negotiate both of these points - at what point am I best to do this? Once I've actually got an offer or beforehand?

EDIT: likewise, if any advice about how best to approach this, I'm all ears.

Thanks
