PCT resume help?

I would put the waitressing and customer service jobs on your application because they ARE relevant. As a tech you will need to know how to please your customers (the patients), and that is something that successful waitresses know how to do.

Multi-tasking and time management are also traits that techs need. I'm sure you did those in your previous jobs, so you can add that as relevant experience. You can find little things like that that will tell your interviewer that you are ready for the job!

Good luck in getting the job and good luck starting nursing school :)

I am also a nursing student and just got hired as a PCA-Student nurse. I would definitely put your jobs on your resume, just like the above poster said, they are customer service and communication skills and you will use them in nursing. If you have clinicals I would personally put those on your resume (some people would disagree, but I think its useful for them to know where you are at in the program). Under your clinicals you could list a brief sentence on what you have done in clincials, especially if there is anything different such as working with vents or something. I would include your affiliations and your GPA.

Also, if you can't get a job right now, volunteer! Sign up to volunteer in the hospital you want to work at. At the very least you have the chance to make connections.

Good luck!
