Writing a good CV is all important in getting a job in nearly any field, and it’s especially important right now while the economy is poor and jobs are few and far between. You will be competing with hundreds, if not thousands of other people for the nursing jobs you apply for, so you need to write a CV that will stand out. Here’s how to write a good, solid, professional nursing CV for applying for nurse jobs.
First, choose a template or create your own template, that looks modern and professional. You should also print your CV on high quality paper. These are just common sense suggestions.
As you begin your CV, be sure to include your full name and all your contact information. Including your home, mobile, and work phone numbers, and an email address, gives employers no reason to not get in touch with you if you look right for the job.
Write a clear, concise objective opening statement, or a statement describing your best skills, or your nurse job goals. This should appear at the top of your CV, under your name and contact information.
Create a sold work experience section. Include only jobs where you used skills that can carry over into the job you are applying for. Describe your previous job duties in terms of how that can help you in the job you’re applying for. Use strong verbs, but avoid using the thesaurus to come up with “unique” words. This makes you look unprofessional, and frankly, unintelligent. No one uses the word “orchestrate” in conversation.
List any relevant education. Don’t bother listing everything since you started primary school as this is irrelevant to nursing jobs. Include university and other higher education, and other health-related courses or certificates.
Be sure to include references with contact information. If you leave off their contact information, this makes one more step an employer has to take to find out if you are fit for the job.
