New Grads and Resumes

[ilovenursing2009]

hi!

anyone up for swapping resumes for constructive criticism?

during my time in school i participated in many seminars to perfect resume writing and interviewing skills; which i am sure you did to! i was also a tutor for nursing students which i helped assist many students write their resumes and cover letters.

i thought this would be a great way to share ideas of what we learned and help each other make our resumes and cover letters stand out!

if you would like to participate pm me and i will give you my email address to swap resumes. please take off all identifying info (name, address, phone number) from your resume. i don't want o be responsible for it!

can't wait to swap resumes!!!!:wink2:

I would like to participate too. I have been told I had a good resume before but since I havent received any call backs I changed it a lot. Thx

Same here, I'll take a look at your resume if you want me too. I am a Recruiter and look at plenty of resumes every day. :)

Also (unless you want me to recruit you) please take off all your personal information from your resume.

I just found out about this post. Can I still participate? I really need good feedback as I still do not have any callbacks.

I would find it absolutely wonderful if you could check my resume & cover letter. I currently have a job, but am seeking an L&D/NICU/Nursery position. I don't know if I should email my stuff or what to you (I'm new to the website so I'm not sure how everything works). Just let me know! THANKS!

I just graduated & passed my nclex a couple of days ago - I'm unsure of where to start on my resume.

Nursing is a second career for me, so I have 20+ years of experience in a completely unrelated field.

I have an excellent work record + great personal references going back many years, but nursing-wise I

didn't do anything "exceptional" or unusual in school...

I can't be the only one in this situation - how are others handling it?

Do you just show employment history, and kinda "gloss-over" the lack of experience - perhaps tout how great the program you attended was?

Same here, I am having the same issue of nursing being a second career and how to construct my new resume. Any advice or samples to refer too?

Same here! I took a class over intersession where one of our assignments was to write a resume but we weren't really given any good examples of how to write a resume as second degree students.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to look over my resume also. I'm graduating in May and would like to start applying to new grad programs before then. Thanks!
