Applying for Jobs as a Doctor by Yourself (NHS jobs) vs Recruitment Agency | Best for IMGs?

When you get GMC registration and start thinking about jobs in the NHS, you wonder if you should apply for suitable posts yourself or go with a recruitment (job) agency.

Alongside this, Dr. Ibreez mentions the experiences of other IMGs who have contacted RoadToUK regarding agencies, and discusses what they went through, as well as her own experience applying via NHS jobs.

    If I choose for the uncoupled option, then do I need to apply for a new job every year to get into subsequent CT levels? I'm asking this because on the NHS job site when I search for a CT 1 job in general medicine, it says that the job is available for a fixed term of 1 year. So do I need to apply 3 times for a core training job to reach the CT-3 level and complete my core medical training? Kindly clarify my doubt.

Do you think whether it's a good idea to approach them before getting an interview? I mean would that increase the chance of getting an interview?

Do you think it is a good idea for me if I will apply for the NHS jobs both by myself directly and by using recruitment agencies at the same time? By doing so, I think I will have a better chances to get an NHS job. Do you agree with me? Why or why not? Honestly, I love ❤ your video clips greatly. Thank you very much for your kindness 🙏 to share something good to me and other medical students around the world.
