This time last year I wish someone sat me down and explained all my options - and I know I had to answer a lot of questions from friends and family so here's the breakdown on how I got a job working as a Junior Doctor in NSW Australia.

Buy me a coffee at https://ko-fi.com/emmabmd
Just trying out a new feature - by no means is this meant to pressure anyone, I'm just a med student who spends way too much on coffee!

My Live Schedule - http://bit.ly/LiveWithEmmaB
Study with Me Emma B - Will be focused pomodoro technique style lives, come ready to chat on the breaks and focus in between!
Coffee Time - will be more casual time to hang out, answer some Q's maybe do some casual study, think of it like a group of friends hanging out and "studying" (you know you've been there!)

What I'm Grateful For
TO HAVE A JOB!
There was a large portion of 2022 that I spent worried I wouldn't have a job. I am incredibly Grateful to be at a hospital I chose, and that chose me too, and be employed in NSW.
