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!
:mad:HELP, i am from the old school, new RN, need help writing a resume, could someone please post a generic one, so i can have a general idea, of what to put, having been a lpn for years, and only filled out application, resume, ARRGH!, WOULD be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I was wondering if you would still be up for looking over a resume. I think mine needs some serious help, the more eyes that can look at it the better! Thanks! :)
does anyone have time to review my resume? I have a question regarding mine....it has to do with a summer program I joined with an area health center over the past summer and I want to make sure my resume is in the right format.
I am wondering if anyone has added elective nursing courses to their resume, like I took courses in oncology, women's health, critical care, and Reiki. I'm not sure if I should add these to my resume or where to put them. Also, I had a community rotation at a cancer center, and am interested in oncology so I'm wondering if it would be good to put that somewhere.. and again, if yes where??
I've been lurking allnurses.com for awhile now and finally decided to join! I graduated in December and I'm facing the same problems that a lot of new grads are facing. There are actually plenty of jobs available in my area but they won't hire me because I don't have experience. On the other hand, all of my classmates who worked as patient care techs during school got hired immediately and I didn't work as one. If only I had known... Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to look at my resume as well. We had to submit a resume and cover letter to the career services at our school for feedback, then turn it in for a grade in one of our classes and they said it was fine but I feel like it could be better.
And if anyone could give tips on how to set up a good cover letter. I've been applying to med/surg positions the most but I'm not sure what I should be putting on there. I do the usual "I'm applying for..." and "Thank you for your consideration, I may be contacted at..." but the body seems lacking. Any tips would be helpful. What a frustrating time this is for new grads!
