Hey guys! I'm finishing my junior year and heading home for the summer. I really would like to land a clinical assistant position, but I need to redo my resume because of the fact that I now have clinicals and CPR certification under my belt.
My question is, how exactly do I list my clinical rotations? Should I just put the rotation and the place it was at? I go to college in Pennsylvania, but am applying for hospitals in Texas so they won't be familiar with the clinical sites. Also, I have one more rotation to complete before coming home in May (maternity). Do I list that in my resume and just note it's not complete at the time of application, or... what?
I have a lot of work experience but my only relevant stuff is from high school (ER volunteer and clerical work in a gastroenterology office). When trying to keep my resume shorter, should I go into the job duties for relevant jobs and simply list my other jobs? Or should I just try to say something about everything? Is 2 pages on a resume too much?
Finally, while I am out of state, I absolutely do plan on returning home after graduating in 2012 and I want potential employers to know that so maybe they don't right me off immediately... Is that something I should just discuss in a cover letter? Or should I somehow incorporate it into an objective?
I'm sorry that's so long but any help would be greatly appreciated!

On my resume I have a section for Clinicals. I put the hospital it was it, the time I was there and what uniti I was on. Even though your school is in PA and your going to Texas I would still put the names..they may call the hospitals to verify information or what not. You could also have a section for Work Related Experience if you have prior medical experience. Good luck!
I planned on putting the rotation and location, I just wasn't sure if I should add anything else (like duties or something, I guess) since they wouldn't be familiar with the particular school.
