CV SUGGESTIONS (continued)
Special Training
- You can list such things as Cardiac
Life Support and Neonatal Resuscitation under certification, or
you can list them in a separate section.
Areas of Interest
- If you have particular interest or
ability in an area of your specialty, say so.
Research
Presentations
- List anything really special. Don’t
include Grand Rounds topics.
Hobbies or Personal Interests
- Include personal interests only if
they are actually interesting. (Most people cook, read books and
go to movies.)
References
- List references on a separate page.
Include titles, addresses and phone numbers. This page might not
be sent unless you and the prospective employer “get serious”
about each other. “References available upon request” is a
superfluous statement. Everyone knows you have references; if you
don’t, you’ll never he hired.
Cover Letter
- You might choose to write a cover
letter offering additional information about yourself, your aims,
your family. This letter may be included when your CV is sent to
a prospective employer, or it may serve as the basis for an
introductory statement written by your recruiter. It will help your
recruiter to know you better and to introduce you to a prospective
employer with more enthusiasm and specificity.
Caution
- Never, ever tell a recruiter, “Send
my CV anywhere you think appropriate.” You should know where
your CV has been sent, the date it was sent, and which recruiter
sent it. I suggest you keep a log in a small notebook.
Proofread
- Funniest thing I have seen on a
CV: the listing of a “Ground Rounds” presentation. (Yes,
really.)
