It is broadly agreed upon in the
employment sector that the need for Nursing positions will grow faster than
the national job average for the next few years. This is great news for all
you interested in Nursing as a career.
Just like in any growing profession there is the inevitable competition for
these very desirable nursing positions.
How do you get a head of the competition?
First...Know your stuff. You have to be good at your job. So learn your job
well.
Second...Have confidence in yourself, be proud of what you do.
Third...You need an
outstanding Resume built specifically for the Nursing Profession.
Remember you are competing for a job in a profession that is growing and you
are competing in the in the age of the email application process. (That
means there are hundreds of resumes sent in by email for each position
advertised.)
Once your training is complete and you begin your job search you are
stepping out of the world of medicine and stepping into the world Of
"Marketing and Sales".
Your
Resume has to have all the important Technical aspects of your training
and all the applicable experience that you also have to offer and every bit
of relevant education. But your Resume also has to stand out from the crowd,
and it has to quickly grab the attention of the reader.
Another thing to be aware of, as a result of the volume of resumes generally
received for an advertised position, Resumes are not typically read all the
way through, they are quickly "scanned".
Did you know that the typical resume is looked at for only about 7 to 8
seconds! Now you see what I mean when I say you have to GRAB the ATTENTION
of the READER FAST!
An
Outstanding Resume is just as important to your job search as making
sure that a patient's Meds are administered correctly o the patients.
Every situation has it's challenges whether you are entry level an RN, BSN,
whatever your level of education and experience, there is a need to be
thorough and yet maintain a quality of Interest in your resume.
Most hiring managers hire nurses based on their experience or knowledge
(education if you are new) in a specific area of the nursing profession.
Make this stand out when writing your resume.
While detailing your License Qualifications, grants, academic honors,
fellowships, scholarships, GPA, your clinical rotations, or your nursing
mentorships is an important thing to do while writing your resume, remember
also that your resume format, layout, structure, phrasing, and design are
just as important!
In many many cases it is a smart thing to have a
professional resume prepared for you. A certified resume writer with
experience in the Nursing Field can help you get a better job with higher
pay much faster than if you wrote it on your own.
If you go with a professional resume here are a couple of things to look out
for:
1: Don't go with a Resume Template. (They don't work)
2. Go with a
Professional Certified Resume Writer, experienced in Nursing, that will
guarantee their product. (if it is good it will be guaranteed)
3. Don't skimp on your Resume. This is your career. It is important. Treat
it like it is important and don't go to the $.99 Resume Service. (A cheap
resume isn't worth the price.)
