Resume advice

[Bobosh]

I have been following various tips and pointers here especially by Bayat about making a resume. When entering clinical experience, is this going to make my resume cluttered? My school divides the program into two and so I had almost every class and clinical twice that is first year and second year. Should I include all these rotations separately?

If you are worried about your resume being cluttered, I would prepare each resume for each position listing only relevant clinical rotations. I have a document created listing each of my clinicals and descriptors to use.. So I would only list the relevant clinical experiences and the descriptors that relate to the position you are applying for. Best of luck with the resume and job search!! :)

You have just 15 seconds to grab my attention when I open resume attached to online application. I recommend listing just total hours spent in rotation otherwise looks too padded and cluttered.
