In their own words: Dr. Zoltan Kovacs

How did you get in contact with Medicolink?
"I was not searching for opportunities to travel and work abroad at all. A partner of Medicolink actually told me about the possibilities and chances of working in Denmark. We had a chat about the procedure and I soon found myself in the middle of a meeting with Tue Sand Larsen, one of the leading partners at the agency. It was his positive attitude and honest, straightforward manner that convinced and actually motivated me to take part in the program. He visualized a complex procedure from the beginning of the training to my first completed year at my future workplace".

What about your new job?
"As far as my career was concerned, it was important for me not to start from a lower level position than what I was already possessing in Hungary, this of course was granted. Furthermore, the Danish hospital also offered opportunities for conducting research which made me very excited. When I visited the hospital in Denmark, I saw that their research centre was functioning well which meant that I would not have to start from scratch but I could simply become part of an ongoing project".
"They will let me work using my own initiative but at the same time lend me a helping hand initially if I do not feel completely comfortable working alone. They actually had a career plan for me for the forthcoming 1.5 years. This was very satisfactory for me because it displayed a combination of trust and patience".

What does Medicolink offer you and your family?
"Medicolink provides me with learning opportunities, their program covers language, culture and other important things. I found the offer financially attractive too. I can now definetely provide a good standard of living for my family without having to work extra. Perhaps, more importantly the fact that my wife and daughter also take part in a Danish course at the weekends gives us a feeling of security not only as far as language is concerned but generally we feel that we are being prepared for our stay in Denmark and we get a clear idea about what we can expect".
Dr. Kovacs is currently attending the training programme and will start his new career at a Danish hospital very soon.
