Before you ever get to the interview, your resume tells a story about who you are and what you can do. The old adage says you never get a second chance to make a first impression, so it pays to make sure your resume tells a recruiter everything they need to know.
When it comes to nursing resumes, there are a lot of ways you can present your information, but with the help of nurse recruiter Lyn Sheperd, MSN, RN, we’re ready help you put that best foot forward.
A nurse recruiter with White City VA Medical Center and Roseburg VA Health Care, Sheperd shared some tips about what he’s looking for when he reviews a resume, and what it can mean for your shot at employment.
For a taste of what we’re discussing, consider this question: How do you define your professional mission? Have you ever considered how you would describe your philosophy of nursing? When you’re sharing what you do and why you do it, you’re giving a hiring manager a much clearer picture of who you are as a professional.
