Overview: When physicians submit their CVs with job applications, few realize the CV will be looked at for thirty seconds or less. You need to know how to get your curriculum vitae through that process so you can get to work at one of those physician jobs. CompHealth's free e-book is just the tool you need.
You started your journey to becoming a physician by making sure you had good MCAT scores. You then spent years in the classroom, worked hard to pass your board exams, and endured the residency requirements. Now that you're ready to embark on a career, you don't want your curriculum vitae to get in the way of one of those perfect physician jobs.
You may not be aware of this, but many hiring departments and healthcare recruiters use an electronic screening process which scans your CV and compares the text to a set of specific keywords. Your application could be eliminated if a poor presentation of your information causes the analysis to determine you are not a good fit, meaning you can wave goodbye to one of those great physician jobs.
Presentation is everything when it comes to your curriculum vitae. If you're serious about landing a locum tenens or permanent position, you need CompHealth's free e-book. Here are three tips from the e-book to get you started:
A CV should be Concise and Readable
With such a short time frame to make yourself known, be as factual and brief as possible. List your education, certification, and work history details in a way that's easy to read. Include dates and locations.
Tip: The month/year format should be used for all dates. Make sure your dates are accurate and complete.
A CV should be tailored to the Employer
If the electronic scan doesn't eliminate your application, a recruiter may if he doesn't see the information he's looking for. Your CV should demonstrate relevant work history and a knowledge of electronic record keeping systems.
Tip: The more research you can do on an employer prior to submitting your paperwork, the better off you'll be. Find out what their needs are and customize your CV to those particular things.
A CV should leave no Questions about Gaps
Licensing may be different from state to state, and certification requirements might differ from field to field, but gaps in work history are a common job killer across the board. Don't leave gaps unexplained.
Tip: Compile records that thoroughly explain all gaps in work history. Keep these records up-to-date so there are no unanswered questions from employers. Submit the record with every CV you send out.
