Finding first job as an IMG with a career gap

Career gaps are inevitable for IMGs, migrations, family and exams cumulatively set us back years. This makes any chances of getting a job more difficult. Here are the 2 stories from IMGs getting jobs with career gaps who used their proactiveness and hardworking nature to get their first jobs in Australia
With restrictions easing it time to get going …
Quick Tips :
1. Teaching local medical students
2. Working in disability sector to learn multidisciplinary team work
3. Doing courses and workshops and networking developing contacts
4. Clinical attachment - be willing to travel interstate
5. Working in nursing homes
6. Charity work
7. Teaching on AMC Courses
8. Doing telemedicine
9. Do not give up
