I applied to around 120 jobs, got 18 interview offers, accepted 4 interviews and got selected in all 4 of them. All of them were Skype interviews.
The aim of this post is to show that there is no job saturation at present.

SR NO | LOCATION | SPECIALITY | DID I ATTEND THE INTERVIEW? | REASON FOR ACCEPTANCE/DECLINE |
1 | London | Emergency Medicine | No | I applied for EM initially, before the Tier 2 cap was lifted. By the time I got my interview,the new rules were in place. |
2 | Birmingham | Emergency Medicine | No | Same as above. |
3 | Oxford(JR) | Cardiothoracic anaesthesia and critical care | No | Was really tempted to take this up as it is OXFORD! I had applied because I like critical care. When I got the offer, I realised that it was more of cardio-thoracic anaesthesia. Critical care was not a compulsory part of the rotation. Hence, declined. |
4 | Coventry | Neurology | Yes | Attended because it was a university hospital. Declined the offer as the consultant told met hat this job won't be the best job to sign off foundation competencies. |
5 | Cumbria | Gen Medicine with rotations | No | Mixed reviews about the hospital location |
6 | Watford | Care of elderly | Yes | Seriously considered taking it up. But I did not hear a decision from then for about 10 days as the HR was on leave. |
7 | Swansea | Gen Medicine with rotations | Yes | Good reviews about hospital. Seriously considered taking it up. The only drawback was the location.Far off from major cities and very less Indian population in Wales. |
8 | Kettering | Gen Medicine with rotations | Yes | Good reviews about hospital. Great location with good connectivity to major cities in UK. Wanted my first job in a small town as I have lived in a cosmopolitan city all my life. Accepted this offer. |
