Jobs in radiography are another category in the health system

Contrary to what it might look like, allied health jobs comprise the majority of jobs within the health services. These are the occupations that are not immediately obvious on your trips to the surgery or hospital, but such positions lie behind and support the front-line professionals (such as doctors and nurses) that make up the health service. So, if you are looking for work in the NHS or health sector more broadly, there is a vast range of careers that you might be overlooking – jobs in occupational therapy and jobs in radiography, for example. These can take a very different training path to ‘traditional’ medicine or nursing, and so can continue to be an option for those who wish to retrain or move sideways into other types of work.

This category of jobs accounts for something like 60 percent of all the vacancies in the health services – a surprising number on the surface of it, but more understandable when you realise that these are just the behind-the-scenes folk that support all the work that the most visible staff carry out. These are the technicians who process blood tests, operate the x-ray machines, offer different kinds of counselling and physical therapies – all the work, in short, that needs specialist training of one kind or another, and that the doctors and nurses who do most of the face-to-face work and time on the wards may not be ready to do. Because allied health is a related but different area to regular medicine, it often has a different entry method. There are jobs agencies that deal specifically with allied health jobs, and can help you find all the vacancies in your local area or UK-wide that might be right for your circumstances, training and experience. These jobs would not usually be advertised in a job centre or possibly other normal jobs agencies, because they are specialist.

If you are looking for jobs in radiography, jobs in occupational therapy, various kinds of physical and speech therapy, diet or any other allied health jobs, then you would do well to try an agency which will recognise and deal with your needs, and that is consequently more likely to offer you the kinds of vacancies you want. These work both ways – for people looking for work, and for health services looking for employees. They are used to providing staff at short notice, and to matching job-seekers with suitable vacancies.

School clothes needed at the last opportunity?

Shopping for school clothes is a task that few parents like. In fact, it’s one that plenty will postpone to the last minute, maybe justifying their actions with the idea that there’s no point going to do it any earlier, because the kids will only grow in the meantime anyway. School uniforms are pricey, so this does make fair sense. However, there’s a balance to be struck: you don’t want to find that you pull yourself out of the door on the annual shopping trip, only to find that the shops you go to have sold out of blue ties, or some other important piece of equipment. This is where a good London schoolwear supplier can be a real asset. Online shopping is far easier than going out and doing it in person, and all of the clothes are delivered to your door by the postal service. So long as you know what sizes you need (although this is hardly applicable in the case of clothes like ties), you can get it all done with a few clicks and get back to making the most of the last few days of the holiday.

Even if you don’t want to do all of your shopping this way – there are some bits and pieces it’s smart to try on before you buy them – it can be a useful back-up service for those items you’ve found it hard to get a hold of. If a shop has sold out, it’s probably only a short-term problem while they get some more stock shipped in. However, if that’s the only time you have free to trawl the high street, that’s no good to you. An online service is far less likely to suffer from that type of temporary problem, since they are run out of warehouses and have good links to the major suppliers. For the same reason, they may be more able to help if you need clothes that are unusually big or small.

A London schoolwear supplier can therefore make life a lot less hard work, especially in the last few days of the holidays – realistically, when you are likely to be thinking about gritting your teeth and setting out to pick up those vital items of school clothes. You might not have even thought about buying school uniforms online before, but maybe now is the time to consider it – it’s faster than going to the shops in person, cheaper, and a good deal less stressful. All of which you’ll be in need of after several weeks of school holidays!

Sales presentation training for businesses with ambition

We all know it; times are tough. When it comes to the bottom line, every bid for new business counts. It’s tempting to cut advertising budgets, sack the consultants and just try to keep running costs down. However, if your company is always coming second in bids for new business and tendering unsuccessfully for those vital bread-and-butter contracts, maybe, rather than try and find a new sales manager, it could be more economical to bring in some temporary expertise. If sales are where it’s falling down, there are now companies specialised in the whole bid support process from business proposal writing to sales presentation training and they could just turn things around for you.

As in all service areas, the vital word is ‘bespoke’. Maybe your sales guys are doing a wonderful job out there but are working with second-class materials. Tired PowerPoint presentations and brochures which make even the sales team yawn are not going to inspire potential new clients. Behind the presentations comes the hard graft of business proposal writing – maybe this is where you need the help. Or the inverse may be true – the team at head office put their everything into the details of the bid, which the sales team then fail to deliver effectively because of sub-standard sales presentation training.

Bringing in specialists in tender and bid support is no longer something that just major companies do. In fact, it’s precisely the smaller players in the market who can ill afford to employ specialists in all these complex areas full-time who can most gain from an outside team coming in short-term with new ideas and market-leading competencies to pass on. It’s also smaller businesses who most rely for their survival on winning new contracts. Suddenly, hiring a specialist company starts to make sense.

There are other bonuses to hiring a company to steer you through the tendering process. The bid support you invest in this time may well give you the confidence and expertise to handle it alone the next time you have a major pitch. Knowing you have expert help with your business proposal writing and that your team are receiving excellent sales presentation training can additionally give you a confidence at tender time which will be communicated in your bid. And confidence, when it comes to that big pitch, could be something well worth paying for.

Powerpoint design can make or break a meeting

powerpoint design is extremely simple. Lots of people use it for sales presentations every week, and some do a mediocre job of it. Powerpoint presentations are the industry standard for communicating information in a sales-type meeting, when you are hoping to tell the audience that you have the answer and product for them. Good Powerpoint design, on the other hand – a presentation that does what you want it to and inspires and motivates rather than sends people to sleep – is a different and altogether harder art.

Powerpoint is incredibly versatile, and has a large number of features – many of which will not even be familiar to the casual user. These can add real impact to your presentations; on the other hand, poorly used they can detract badly from the message you are wanting to get across, and act as a distraction. The best use of Powerpoint is as a support to what you are saying, not as competition, and certainly not as a replacement. It should function in such a way as to engage the audience, rather than alienate them or give them an opportunity to switch off from listening to you. (Incidentally, the same goes of any paperwork you send round – they need to complement your presentation rather than replace it. There is nothing worse, from the audience’s point of view, of receiving what is essentially the same presentation three times, in forms that barely differ – once on a handout, once on the screen with Powerpoint, and once spoken by you.)

A little help in powerpoint design can go a long way. Even if it’s just taking you through the basics and showing you how the main functions work – and how they should be used to maximum effect – then it can be worth a fortune in sales later on. Say, for the sake of argument, that the training you receive from a professional organisation or individual makes the difference in a single instance, securing a deal through your superior sales presentations that you would otherwise have missed out on? That’s maybe enough to pay for the training costs, several times over, already. Previously, your lacklustre Powerpoint presentations might have held you back; now, they are the missing piece you needed to make all the difference. That’s something that’s definitely worth thinking about next time you’re sitting through a boring sales meeting with one of the worst examples in front of you.
