Writing a resume for UMSON with no health care experience?

SB113 · Oct 19, 2011

I wonder about this, too! Do I attach my resume that I use when I am applying for a job? What in the heck type of resume am I to create?! I think this "sounds" to like a bigger challenge to me than my statement of goals

I hope current applicants, or even students, can help us out!

GOOD LUCK!

The resume was the biggest challenge for me. I have applied for the Spring 2012 semester and it must have taken me the better part of a week to get it finished. I am fortunate that I have a close friend who is a career changer, like me!, who started nursing school a year ago and even came from the same job that I had had. I took some of her ideas and added a few of my own.

The majority of my career experience has been as a musician in the military, so that was interesting to have to tweak for a normal resume. I have also been a stay-at-home mom for the past 3 years, so that went on there too.

My sections were: summary of qualifications, education and training, professional experience, military experience, awards and honors. It may have taken me forever to get it 'right', but I am really happy with the way that my resume turned out.

Hope that helps a little bit. Good luck with your applications!
