What are some key words that the hiring manager is looking for when looking at cna resumes? I was told to pay to have my resume done since I have no previous experience in the field and I have been a full time parent for the last 3 years.
I finished my cna course today and I am fixing up my resume to email it to some places but because of my situation I was hoping I can catch the hiring managers attention with certain key words and details I should mention.
Tips and advice are appreciated please and thank you!
If you have any education, highlight that on your resume. Around here, a GED/diploma is required, but having an associate or bachelor's degree may bring a higher starting salary.
*buzz* Wrong. No one cares about my bachelor's degree in political science. It's completely irrelevant to being a CNA. Don't leave it off because that would be dishonest, but it's not going to get you any higher pay.

...yeah, I really don't think you need to hire anyone to do your resume, especially if you have little to no experience.
...and don't let those ads that are asking for "experienced only" scare you away. I believe that when a nursing home or other such facility is advertising for CNA's, they are also aware that the general public (potential family members of current/future residents) also see this ad. It is a good image for them if they advertise "experienced only". I have a friend and a sister who both had no experienced yet they were hired by 2 different facilities that advertised "experience only".
Don't let it scare ya. Go for it!
you have nothing to loose but a little time, some paper and some ink.
are you serious? so those postings really are just for advertisement? see I dont have my CNA license yet but i have passed the class. i keep failing blood pressure so Im tired of taking the test( 2x already)
You can get your cpr certification here www.icpr.com cost $19.00 only. personally speaking learning and practicing it in actuall setting is much better than in online. I just renew my cpr certificate online and it was very fast I got my certificate right away.:)
