How to get hired faster on JomLocum
Updated 3 November 2026
1. Fill in your profile
When you apply, the clinic sees your role, certificate status, experience, location and About. One honest line in About helps, for example: "3 years as a DSA in a dental clinic in Shah Alam. Free most weekends."
2. Upload your resume
A PDF, up to 5MB. Only clinics you apply to can see it, and only while your application exists.
3. Add a short message
The message is optional, but a line about your availability or experience helps the clinic decide.
4. Apply early
Each job takes up to 20 applicants. Once it is full, it disappears from the feed. You can apply to up to 10 jobs for each date.
5. Turn on notifications
JomLocum sends a push notification when a new job for your role is posted in your area. Make sure the location in your profile is right.
6. Keep your record clean
Late cancellations and no-shows add strikes, and too many will pause your account for 5 days. If your role needs a certificate, upload it early so you are ready when a good job appears.
