Pretty sure it's dismal

Published

I am pretty sure my resume is just not good, or at least what it needs to be to tweak interest. I have redone it many times and it's just not my strength. My school career center has been no help, as they've said every version is good. How would you go about finding a reputable professional resume writing company? What criteria would you use? I am working and enjoy what I do, but I want to move on to build a greater working base of knowledge.

You don't need to hire a professional company to review your resume. These companies are very expensive. If you want to post your resume, we can offer some feedback.

Remove your objective and references available. Not necessary. Take four of the key skills and bullet them. Your resume really needs to be condensed.

Too much information listed with all your skills and these are all skills that every new grad should have anyway, so it won't make your resume stand out.

List your key clinical placements and relevant work history. A separate section for license and certifications.

I hope that helps.
