They qualified in The Philippines then came to the UK to complete PLAB 1 and 2; they passed both first time so are qualified to practice in the UK.
100+ applications later and neither have been shortlisted. We’ve spoken to a consultant who advises that there are too many junior doctors for the number of vacancies. That seems at odds with what we’re told in the media but he’d know much better than us

I guess they went through national recruitment which usually means sitting SJTs (situational judgement tests). Rather like sitting down at a computer for the driving test theory.
Do badly in SJTs and shortlisting for the jobs you have applied for becomes a problem as they don't want you. Usually all graduates get through via the equivalent of clearing for university places....... But could be anywhere, usually the arse end of nowhere.
To get people onto hard to fill places in the arse end of nowhere there is a golden hello called TERS, here in Cumbria it's up to £7000
