How Do You Create a Standout Non-Medical CV?




Creating a stand-out CV for non-medical roles, particularly in industry can be challenging but as I share in this episode, there are 4 key principles that can help you to focus and support you in crafting a stand-out CV.




Your CV is ultimately your passport, a summary of you inviting employers to find out more, so creating a stand-out CV is key in getting the non-medical role you want.


This episode gives you the opportunity to find out:


  • Common mistakes doctors make when crafting their non-medical CV

  • Why your 15-page medical CV with a list of all your hospital jobs, just won’t do in the non-medical world

  • An overview of the key strategies for applying to jobs

  • The benefits of putting yourself in the shoes of a recruiter when crafting a stand-out non-medical CV


 


KEY TAKEAWAYS


  • It’s key to understand what your value is to the employer

  • Important aspects for employers are values, culture fit and understanding the role

  • LinkedIn can communicate dynamically what you can do

  • Your CV is your passport – a summary of you, inviting people to find out more

  • There are varied approaches to applying for new roles - the front door, the side door and the back door

  • The best CVs are concise, highlight your valuable skill set, unique selling points and are one page

  • Make your CV easy to skim read and include keywords

  • Produce a CV written with one employer in mind

  • To write a successful CV you need to know the industry you are applying for
