How do you promote yourself as a nutritional expert in a clinical setting?
"As a recent graduate, it will be important to me to become established within a credible organisation such as the NHS. I have a strong social media following and post nutrition and fitness blogs on my webpage. I would share that information with my new patients. I would also share my background, education, and apprenticeship experience with my patients so they were aware of my qualifications and felt they could trust me with their health and wellness goals."
"I have an about-me section on my employer's webpage that provides a short biography to include my education and experience. I also have testimonials from other patients on the site for the public to read. When I'm working with a new patient, I make sure I take the time to introduce myself and answer any questions they have about me or my qualifications. I usually share a brief overview of my work history and highlight any areas they may find valuable, like working with others with their condition or some insight into a proven track record of success in weight loss plans."
Whether you are an experienced dietician or a recent graduate, you must be able to market yourself as a subject matter expert. The interviewer would like to understand how you establish credibility with your patients. Perhaps you have a website, blog, podcast, or social media pages or frequently speak at seminars or workshops. Speak about how you inform your patients of your background, education and capabilities.
