RESUME tips for "us"

I was hoping some other nurses in recovery programs could give some resume/interview tips and experiences with things such as gaps in employment, using a place you were fired from on work history, and anything you did to make your self more employable such as volunteer work or getting certifications. Thanks!

    • 11 months total time didn’t work
    • gap reason: tending to family illness
    • went through 8 interviews until finally landing a position
    • maintained current certs during time off, i.e. BLS, ACLS, CCRN, etc didn’t get any new certs
    • previous employment...I made it a point to place contact number with HR number, not my immediate boss. Nor did I mention my immediate boss.
    • First few interviews is nerve racking and shows the nervousness. It gets better. Think of interviews as practice
    • big companies that I want to eventually work for I saved for the future...meaning I did not want to apply while in mandatory program. I will apply and save the dream job after monitoring.
    • I did not intend to say my constraints until after I’m extended an offer. (Everyone different on this issue)
    • last, to make myself more employable?? Be confident and reassuring during interview. When it comes to the past, own it and accept it. I didn’t apologize for it. I regretted it and made me a better person today. Bad decisions have consequences. Boom! Got the job!
