Internal Medicine Physician

Laura provided a thorough dissection of each resume section and  direction on building a successful document that reflects my transferrable skills.

ENT

My resume looks fabulous!

Anesthesia

I thought my skills and accomplishments were all around seeing patients. During office hours I sat in the "spot light" and learned I had many other ones related to practice administration  that belong on my resume!

Frequently Asked Questions

You have questions. I have answers.

I already have CV, why do I need a nonclinical resume?

If you are planning to transition from clinical position to a nonclinical career, you need a resume that details your qualifications and skills beyond the bedside.  Essentially, your nonclinical resume is the sales tool that helps you land an interview.  It helps the person screening candidates for a job opening understand the depth of your experience.  

I'm not a very good writer, can I really do this myself?

This program is not about doing it yourself.  You will get all the tools, guidance, and help you need to put together a solid document even if you are not a great writer.    The templates are easy to use, the writing guide has so many examples, and Laura will provide tons of assistance wordsmithing during the 1:1.

I have seen other less expensive resume kits/programs. Why is this one better?

This program offers superior tools and a writing guide that is full of extensive examples. Laura goes over many more specific examples in the  video instruction so you get a real feel for how a nonclinical resume should read.  Then during the bonus live Office Hours we will discuss writing for acutal specific job descriptions and you will have the opportunity to get feedback on your preliminary draft documents.  And most importantly, you will get a 1:1 session with Laura for feedback and edits. Laura is a great resume writer and you will be amazed at how much better your document will be after that session!

I don't know what kind of nonclinical job I want yet. Should I really work on my resume now?

Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes!  Work on converting your CV to a resume now BEFORE YOU EVER NEED IT!  Job opportuntities do not come along with two weeks notice.  Instead, they suddenly appear and someone wants your resume RIGHT AWAY!  Begin working on it before you ever need it.
