Is Your Medical Cv Up To Scratch?

For everyone in the medical professions, getting a new job can be an incredibly demanding process

. From finding the right vacancy in the right area or getting a pay package that is fair for your skill level, down to finding an organisation that fits your career aspirations. Amongst a highly competitive and extremely high standard of competition, how can your CV work best for you?

Sell Yourself

The first thing that should be on your CV is a short sharp paragraph outlining who you are and what your career aspirations are. This should grab the reader's attention and give them a few nuggets of information about you that really makes them think, Hey this person sounds like who we're looking for. You will already have made a good impression before they have even started reading your qualifications.

Make sure to know exactly what the job is you are applying for when writing this statement. Highlight your achievements which most demonstrate your suitability for the roll.

Qualifications and Experience

Of course you need all your relevant qualifications and positions held to date. Don't bother with your 100m swimming certificate no matter how proud you are of it. Don't be tempted to put your most relevant jobs first, but keep everything in reverse chronological order. This makes it easy for an employer to follow and allows them to get the best impression of your career to date. If you believe you deserve this job, you shouldn't need to bend the truth.

Registrations and Union Memberships

Include your General Medical Council registration status and whether you are a member of the Medical Defense Union or not. These may seem like obvious things to include but will help to avoid unnecessary rejections as a result of sending an unchecked CV.

Clinical Experience

This should be in a separate section so that they stand out from your employment history. Your clinical competency is key for many jobs, so having this stand out and not lost in your possibly long history, will make a difference.

Teaching experience and publications

If you are lucky enough to have published work then this is what should go next. Include a full reference to the publication and an outline of your article. Keep this brief, as your employer can check your reference once you have been short listed. Also include any teaching experience you have. If you are applying for a medical teaching position this may well be incorporated into your main employment history.

With all these sections along with some final details about your career aspirations, echoing your opening statement, and something about your hobbies for a final touch. Watching TV is not a hobby. With these brief tips you will be well on your way to an attractive medical CV. Good Luck
