This paper reports the key findings of the first survey of recent Radiation Oncology graduates in Australia, New Zealand (ANZ) and Singapore. It explores their experiences in entering the workforce, challenges and perspectives.
The survey was conducted in April and May 2016 focusing on graduates from 2013 to 2015. The questions related to relocation, current employment, experiences in finding a job, intentions regarding rural work, job satisfaction and perceptions of the job market.
The response rate was 80% (66/83). Most respondents (72.7%) commenced and completed their training in the same location. The large majority of respondents (91%) were employed with 51% as consultants, 20% as fellows and 15% as locums. Sixty-four percent of respondents spent more than twelve weeks looking for a consultant position, but this was expected by 80% of respondents. Seventy-three percent of respondents spent more than four weeks looking for a fellowship position, but this was expected by 90%. Twenty seven percent of respondents lived and worked in a rural area with nearly half of respondents who did not work in a rural area, indicating they would consider so if certain conditions were met. The large majority (75%) were satisfied with their current employment with only seven percent reporting dissatisfaction. Respondents felt that the job market was very competitive because of the large number of trainees and better workforce planning was required to ensure a reasonable balance between workforce supply and demand. Some career guidance and mentorship for readiness for the job market was thought to be beneficial.
This initial survey of recent Radiation Oncology graduates in ANZ and Singapore has revealed the large majority are employed as consultants or fellows, although there is apprehension about a competitive job market. The survey should be repeated on a regular basis to monitor future trends.
本文报告了对澳大利亚、新西兰（澳新）和新加坡近期放射肿瘤学毕业生的首次调查的主要结果。该调查探讨了他们进入职场的经历、面临的挑战及观点。
该调查于2016年4月和5月进行，重点关注2013年至2015年毕业的学生。问题涉及重新安置、当前就业情况、求职经历、农村工作意向、工作满意度以及对就业市场的看法。
回复率为80%（66/83）。大多数受访者（72.7%）在同一地点开始并完成培训。绝大多数受访者（91%）已就业，其中51%为顾问，20%为研究员，15%为临时代理人员。64%的受访者花费超过12周寻找顾问职位，但80%的受访者预期会如此。73%的受访者花费超过4周寻找研究员职位，但90%的受访者预期会如此。27%的受访者在农村地区生活和工作，近一半不在农村地区工作的受访者表示如果满足某些条件会考虑去农村工作。绝大多数（75%）对当前工作感到满意，只有7%表示不满意。受访者认为就业市场竞争非常激烈，因为实习生数量众多，需要更好的劳动力规划以确保劳动力供需之间的合理平衡。一些针对就业市场准备方面的职业指导和辅导被认为是有益的。
对澳新和新加坡近期放射肿瘤学毕业生的这项初步调查显示，绝大多数毕业生受雇担任顾问或研究员，尽管对竞争激烈的就业市场存在担忧。应定期重复进行该调查以监测未来趋势。
