resume help

Looking for my first RN employment and would appreciate your help.

1. resume paper? Should I use the regular white printer paper for my resume or should I invest in those fancy resume paper? If resume paper, which do you use?

2. references "available upon request"? I would think that references completes my resume. I see some of the online application process asks for profession and personal references. So why would I not include it when I snail mail my resume?

3. clinical rotations. Got the answer to this one in another thread. I should not include my academic clinical rotations.

I am sure I will have more. Thanks very much for your assistance.

    I think you should try to find someone in your area to ask, if possible. Here, regular paper is fine. References upon request is what you should always put, in my opinion, no exceptions. If you will notice, most facilities have you fill out an online application, and upload a resume. The online application has an area for references. Therefore, there would be no need to include them with your resume. Hope this helps. Good luck.

    After the online application process where both the resume and references are uploaded, do not snail mail the reference page. After all, the employer has this info. So then...why send the resume? Isn't that uploaded as well?

    Next Q, that would make it #4. Should I use the standard #10 envelope and fold the letter or the catalog envelope and my letter not folded? I would have 6 pages: cover letter, resume, copy of license & cpr card, 3 letters of recommendation. With the State, I would have about 6 more pages. My guess, even with the 6 pages, is the catalog envelope. I'm also thinking of packets made up when I visit the hospital/facility and not folded would be a better presentation.

    I'm in CA.
