Interview & CV top tips from industry experts

Wavelength recently attended the Creative Careers in Medicine event which provided two days of intense education, inspiration, and creativity aimed at harnessing the unique super-powers that every doctor possesses to unlock new possibilities, blaze new trails, and truly make a difference!

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event couldn’t be hosted in person. However, thanks to video conferencing, the event became a global affair, and Wavelength was honoured to deliver a special workshop session on CV and interview tips.

Shane Solomanto - Partner at GAICD
