subject: Medical Resume Cover Letter, 2 Ideas I Used To Get Hired. [print this page] "There's no more space in the medical field." That's what I was thinking as I was writing my medical resume cover letter. Fact is, there is but the ones taking the jobs are those with the highest experience or the knowledge of how to get hired. I've been in the field for several years and have experience just not 25 years like some people do. I had to find an edge and I used my medical resume cover letter to point it out.
The ideas I share here worked for me. I did the little extra leg work it took to find the information but it paid off. What I did was nothing out of this world. My medical resume cover letter simply focused on my desire for the job and the knowledge I had about the place I was applying too. I made an effort to find out about the place and what kind of recognition it had. Distinguished personnel I wanted to learn from and how it would enrich my life and the life of the patients. My experience, I plaid up with my enthusiasm and desire to learn.
I made sure to use the language they understand. Medical resume cover letters should sound medical. Same as Technical resumes should sound technical. My medical resume cover letter stood out from the rest because I used terminology I picked up from the research I did and the program I used to help me put the letter together.
Researching the company and learning about the different people and recognition awarded to the place I wanted to be hired by went a long way. I was able to land more interviews because of it. Though getting hired is not a perfect science. Experience levels hours available and other things come into play. Catching a reader's interest is something I can control.
I incorporated information and wording into my letter, aside from what was suggested by the custom letter I started out with, like "I hope to learn from Jane Doe, who I understand was recognized by what ever organization, group or department for their efforts." Most dont take the time to learn about where they want to work. Knowing a little can do a lot for your chances at the position.
