How to write a C.V

[brightgalaxy5]

1 - Length of the CV
Medical CVs are notoriously long because the nature of the profession imposes that you should list all your skills, courses, presentations, audits, research and publications. If possible, try to keep your CV to a maximum of 6-8 pages. PRHOs should be able to produce 2-3-page CVs and SHOs should be able to limit their CV to 4-5 pages. In some cases, the CV may be longer (e.g. Consultant Surgeons), though the main body of the CV should still be concise. If you have pages of publications etc they may best be fitted into an appendix to the main document.


Size is not everything. Content is what matters. Be thorough but concise in your descriptions. Do not fill your CV with unnecessary words just to make it longer. It will reflect badly on your ability to express yourself in a clear and concise manner. Instead, if you feel that your CV lacks content, you may want to consider getting involved in a number of activities such as audits, publications, training sessions etc to increase the quality of the content.


2 - The first two pages
The first two pages will make the biggest impression on the recruiter. They therefore deserve particular attention.


Do not fill-up most of the first page with personal details. Your name, address and various contact details should be able to fit at the top of the fist page over 4 or 5 lines (like headed paper). At a push, no more than one-third of the front page should be taken by personal details.

Stick to the essentials. For example, there is no need to mention your Hep B immunisation status (as many people do). Your status will be checked when you start your new job. If you are not immunised, Occupational Health will soon sort you out. Similarly, although your driving licence status, your MDU membership number, your marital status and number of children may be interesting facts, they are best kept for a "Miscellaneous" section at the back of the CV as they will not directly affect your employment (unless you have been banned from driving in which case you may choose to keep this fact quiet)

Having a short Personal Details section on the front page will ensure that you start describing your education and current employment on the first page or the beginning of the second page, where they are most accessible.

3 - General CV Format
The format for a medical CV is generally as follows:


PERSONAL DETAILS


Name

Address

Date of birth

Telephone number (2 numbers maximum)

Email address - avoid casual addresses like karmaqueen@xxxxx.com or superdoctor@xxxxxx.co.uk [Yes, some people do put these on their CVs ...]

GMC Reg. number

Date of entry to Specialist Register & NTN if relevant





CAREER AIM


This should be no more than a few lines. No recruiter will read beyond that length. Instead they will seek to explore this area further during the interview.

This section (provided it is short and to the point) is best placed at the front of the CV as the content constitutes an important part of your motivation to apply for the job. Placing it after a long list of audits, publications and courses will almost ensure that it does not get read at all.





QUALIFICATIONS (& PRIZES)


List your qualifications in reverse chronological order

List relevant dates and place of study

List qualifications you are currently studying for (e.g. MRCP/MRCS)

CURRENT APPOINTMENT







PAST APPOINTMENTS


For these two sections, try to avoid the format whereby appointments are summarised in a header table and then developed later in the CV in individual sections. It makes the reading of the CV tiring.

List each job in reverse chronological order, including the relevant dates and hospital names & locations. For each job where you should list the relevant experience, skills and procedures that you have learned.

Use bullet points, not sentences. Interviewers will be able to pick out the essential much more efficiently.

Remember to list all your skills, not just clinical. Your management and teaching experience is just as important.

VERY IMPORTANT: Avoid personal statements such as "I really enjoyed this post because it gave me the opportunity to ... etc". The CV is designed to present facts. Its role is two-fold: to get you short-listed and to provide talking points for the interview. Keep your personal statements until the interview, where you will be able to use them most effectively.

If you have held a significant number of posts you may wish to present them across several subsections e.g.: SpR positions, SHO positions, PRHO positions.

MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE [Only if you have enough content to justify a separate section, otherwise integrate it within the relevant positions. This section is particularly relevant for those applying for SpR & Consultant jobs]




TEACHING EXPERIENCE - Same comment.








COURSES


List all relevant courses.

Avoid mentioning courses such as Revision courses for MRCP/MRCS exams (especially if you failed the exam) as you will have already said that you were studying for the exam.

Indicate the dates (month and year is enough) & the duration of the courses





MEETINGS/CONFERENCES


List all relevant meetings and conferences, together with a short description of the content

Avoid casual meeting (e.g. bonding exercises, days-away at the Deanery, etc) unless your CV demonstrate clearly that it has some relevance to your experience





PUBLICATIONS


Make sure you are telling the entire truth (including your ranking on the authors list). Interviewers have been known to check the database in front of candidates at the interview.

List the title, authors and relevant dates together with a 1-2 line summary of the content (unless the title is as explicit as possible)





PRESENTATIONS


List the title, authors and relevant dates.





AUDITS


List the title and date of the audit

For each audit you should provide a short summary, providing the aim of the audit, your role, the conclusions drawn and actions taken as a result (2-3 bullet points, 5 or 6 lines maximum).

If you have done no audits, it may be preferable to leave the whole section out rather than say "I am awa





RESEARCH PROJECTS


Quote the title of your research and provide a short description of your activities in bullet points format





COMPUTER AND LANGUAGE SKILLS


Include all relevant software e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Publisher, Internet etc, as well as medical-specific software

Do not dwell too much on your internet experience as it could be misinterpreted, given recent problems. Most interviewers will assume that everyone can use the internet.

By any means state the languages that you can speak if in small number as well as your degree of fluency (e.g. German - basic, French - conversational).

If you speak several dialects due to your ethnic origin, it is best to place them under an umbrella definition (e.g. fluent in 7 Indian dialects ) rather than list them all separately.





PERSONAL INTERESTS


Strike the right balance between group activities and lonely activities

"Having fun" is not a personal interest as far as CVs are concerned. Nor is "Drinking with mates".





MISCELLANEOUS


This section can be used for information in which you feel the interviewer may have an interest but that does not have major importance as far as your eligibility for the job is concerned (e.g. driving licence, marital status & number of children, etc). You should keep this section to the bare minimum.





REFERENCES


No more than three unless otherwise requested.

4 - Should you include a paragraph at the beginning summarising who you are?


Although this is common practice at executive level in normal business CVs, it is not a developed practice in the medical profession. In order to ensure objectivity, the medical profession is moving gradually towards standardised formats (hence the increasing popularity of application forms) and we would recommend that you stick to the more formal approach as set out above.

[brightgalaxy5]

The guidelines for medical résumés or curriculum vitae (CVs) are a bit different than those for other career seekers. This is because a Doctor's CV must illustrate his or her ability to expertly handle medical cases (including those that are potentially life-threatening.) Thus, the person receiving the medical CV must feel confident that the job applicant is going to be a qualified medical provider.

For this reason, the medical CV is usually a rather long document that includes several sections not found in other types of CVs. Here, we'll look at a few of those special additions which assist the medical CV writer in convincing prospective employers of his or her credentials and expertise.



Internships, Residencies, & Fellowships

Medical students typically undertake one or more post-graduate training assignments. Whether in the form of fellowships, residencies, or internships, these experiences help young doctors become more skilled at their chosen crafts. Your future employers will need to know exactly where and when you trained in a post-grad capacity; therefore, medical CV writers generally provide this information on the first page of their medical CV, right after their undergraduate education histories.





Academic Appointments, Et Cetera

If you've taught any courses (including during your under- or early graduate years), you should include them in your medical CV. By listing them, you will show you were deemed proficient by an accredited college, university, or medical center in one or more topic areas. This information will also give the readers of your CV a better understanding of where your know-how lies; after all, it's uncommon for persons to teach courses for which they are unqualified. Additionally, make sure you include any invitations you've received to lecture at national or international events.






Published Works

If you're in the medical profession, you've undoubtedly come to realise that the more you publish, the greater your reputation will be as a leader in your field. You'll want to highlight those achievements for your CV recipient(s) by detailing every abstract, article, editorial, book review, essay, opinion piece, book, or other medically-related printed work. Of course, it's not necessary to include a synopsis of each one; a simple bibliography style listing will do. As you advance through your career, expect this list to grow. Medical CVs are not constrained by page limits and often are quite thick after the physician has practiced for numerous years.





Memberships

Medical professionals usually join at least one medical society; for example, a neurologist might choose to become an active member in the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery. Your medical CV should include a list of all those places for which you now are or previously were a member.





Grants

Want to further impress the people looking over your medical CV? If you've ever received a grant or other financial award to underwrite medical research or public education, you should absolutely provide documentation of those honors. After all, a prospective employer will probably see the benefit in having someone on staff who knows how to raise funds. (Believe it or not, the ability to "unearth" funding streams is a definite talent; many excellent medical professionals are simply not able to research and deliver grants.)





Committee Appointments

If you ever sat on a committee, it's important to note it on your medical CV. This includes hospital committees, university committees, national committees, nonprofit organisation committees, and professional committees. Again, after many years in practice, you may find that your list extends beyond a whole sheet of paper, but that's completely acceptable.



Above all else, make sure you keep your medical CV up-to-date. Even though you might never change employers, you'll undoubtedly use your CV for many purposes, as will the medical center or university for which you work. In fact, every few months, it's a good idea to dust your CV off and add new details.

How to write a C.V



Generally, your curriculum vita (C.V.) is the first contact you may have with a prospective program director. Therefore, you would surely want a C.V. that does more than simply impart information about your personal history, and educational and professional qualifications and achievements. Strive for a CV that establishes a favorable image of your professionalism in the mind of the reader. It should emphasize your areas of strength, and create an interest about you sufficient to result in a personal interview. Make your C.V. work for you!
There are several phases in creating an effective C.V.
Compile all potentially useful information and organize those items under appropriate categories. Be sure the information you choose clearly communicates a sense of professionalism, competence, and enthusiasm.
Select only the most pertinent information. Keep the level of information concise and, at the same time, as comprehensive as possible. Bear in mind that your C.V. is your "advertisement" for an interview!
Finally - review and revise the document. As important as the information provided, your C.V. should be edited for proper grammar, correct spelling and appropriate punctuation. To further convey your professional image to the reader, use quality paper, ink, and equipment. Inferior materials or illegible photocopies say to the reader, "You are not important to me."



The following is a sample format of a C.V.


1. Contact Information2. Personal Data3. Educational Background4. Employment Experience5. Professional Affiliations and Honors6. Publications, Presentations and Other Activities7. References



Contact Information
This information is always located at the top of the first page. It should include your name (avoid nicknames), address, telephone and other contact numbers (fax, e-mail). Be sure to spell out words like Street, Avenue, North, etc. If your current address is not your permanent address, indicate your current-address information under a heading marked "Present", followed by your permanent-address information under a heading marked "Permanent."

Personal Data
This is a professional document, so disclosure of information regarding age, marital status, children, and health is a matter of choice. Some recipients expect this information, and it is a common practice to provide it.

Educational Background
The information in this section is usually given with the most recent training listed first. The order in which you present this information is your choice — be it date first, degree first, or perhaps institution first. Whichever your preference, keep your entries consistent.

Employment Experience
Begin by separating your part-time employment entries from your full-time employment entries, and list them under appropriate subheadings. This avoids any misunderstanding by the reader. The list of your employment experience generally starts with your current employment. Be sure to provide the date of your employment, your job title, and your employer’s name and address. You may choose to include major duties, successes and achievements, research interests, committee assignments, etc. It is important, however, to keep all entries uniform. Avoid providing a lot of information on your recent entries, but giving less information on later entries. A subheading for certification or license status may be included at the end of this section. Indicate certificate/license numbers and the dates issued.

Professional Affiliations and Honors
This section should include your current membership in professional organizations. Include any significant appointments and/or elections to positions or committees, indicating the appropriate date for each position listed. Indicate any significant activities completed under your leadership. Honors from professional, educational or related organizations should also be shown under this section. Keep your comments brief in describing these items. This will avoid the risk of creating an unfavorable impression of exaggeration on your part by the reader.

Publications, Presentations and Other Activities
This is an area considered to be the perfect opportunity to list your professional accomplishments. The following subheadings may be listed in this section: publications, presentations, invited lectures, abstracts, research activities, community service and leisure interests to name a few. When listing your publications, give full bibliographic entries so the reader can easily find them.

RefrencesPlace
this information at the end of your document. Include the following information in each entry: name, position, address, and telephone number.

Some Points to Consider
The information and advice given are no guarantee that your C.V. will open all doors for you. It offers a start in preparing an effective document - one that shows clarity, consistency, and an organized format. Your C.V. should be easy to read, leaving no confusion in the reader’s mind as to what it is he is reading. Here are some points that will help you produce a document with impact.

Your C.V. will be read by people who do not know you, so you must present your information in the clearest, most concise fashion possible. These people will be responsible for developing a list of recommended candidates, probably in a limited amount of time, so your document must be precise and specific at the first reading.

Accurate presentation of your qualifications is imperative. Be specific - for instance, under:Educational Background - include your major, year degree was received, name of degree, complete name of institution (no abbreviations) and its location.Employment History - leave NO gaps in the total number of years worked (account for every year); distinguish between part-time and full-time work; use separate headings for entries such as: military service, volunteer activities, leave of absence (explain).Professional Activities - cite current memberships; clearly date all former activities and memberships.Publications - clarify your role in group efforts; distinguish between refereed and nonrefereed articles; use separate headings for different types of publications (journal articles, books, chapters in books, abstracts, etc.)

Consistency is crucial. It reflects good organization and appearance and is vital to fast readers. Be consistent under all categories of your C.V. Do not provide information in one entry and fail to do so in other entries within the same category.

Do not make double entries. This does not strengthen your C.V. and may be unfavorably viewed as "padding" by the reader.

Stay chronologically consistent when presenting information. If you elect to present the most current information first, stay with that order through all sections. This makes your document easier to read and avoids confusion on the part of the reader.

There is no magic number for the maximum number of pages considered ideal for an effective C.V. However, it is generally accepted that a two-to-four page C.V. should communicate the essential background details for a young professional.

It bears repeating — be clear, consistent and organized. If your C.V. is hard to read or an entry projects a suspicious aura, your entire document may be discounted or even rejected.

It is helpful to have the final version of your document proofread by: a) a professional friend who knows you (able to spot significant information left out or is confusing as presented). b) a professional who does not know you (able to read your C.V. critically as a person learning about you for the first time - a status similar to your eventual readers). c) a personnel officer, dean or department head (experienced in reviewing this kind of material).

Print your C.V. on standard 8 _" x 11" white paper;

print on one side only; be sure the print on all copies is clear and easy to read; all pages should be clean of smudges and streaks. A single staple in the upper left-hand corner is a simple and sufficient method for securing the pages.

Individuals are faced with many choices when writing a C.V. The methods used to develop this document are varied, but the goal is the same — a curriculum vitae that will impress and convince the reader that you are the person they seek. I hope the advice offered here will help you to develop that kind of C.V. My best wishes for success in all your endeavors.

LENGTH OF THE CONSULTANT CV
Size is always a contentious issue. Whereas, in normal business CVs, the maximum recommended size is 2 to 3 pages, in medicine this is simply not possible, the main reason being that for some candidates the list of publications and courses is simply too long to fit in a small number of pages.

On average, a consultant's CV for a medical speciality will be approximately 10 pages long, whilst for a surgical specialty it may go on for 15 pages or more. Some candidates are interpreting this as meaning that their can go on for as long as is needed, but one should always bear in mind that a CV is a communication document designed to get you short-listed. It is therefore essential that the information is presented in a meaningful, well-ordered and concise fashion. Whatever information is contained in your CV, the important information should be contained within the first 5 pages if possible.

general CONSULTANT cv format
The format for a medical CV for a consultant post is generally as follows:

PERSONAL DETAILS


Do not fill most of the first page with personal details. Your name, address and various contact details should be able to fit at the top of the fist page over 4 or 5 lines (like headed paper). At a push, no more than one-third of the front page should be taken by personal details.

Stick to the essentials. For example, there is no need to mention your Hep B immunisation status (as many people do). Your status will be checked when you start your new job. If you are not immunised, Occupational Health will soon sort you out. Similarly, although your driving licence status, your MDU membership number, your marital status and number of children may be interesting facts, they are best kept for a "Miscellaneous" section at the back of the CV as they will not directly affect your employment (unless you have been banned from driving in which case you may choose to keep this fact quiet)

Having a short Personal Details section on the front page will ensure that you start describing your education and current employment on the first page or the beginning of the second page, where they are most accessible. Include:

- Name (Make sure it matches your GMC registration name)
- Address
- GMC registration number
- Date of entry to Specialist Register & NTN
- Date of birth (not essential if you are older than the "norm")
- Telephone numbers (not too many - your CV is not a telephone directory
- Email address - avoid casual addresses such as karmaqueen@xxxxx.com or
superdoctor@xxxxxx.co.uk [Yes, some people do put these on their CVs ...]

CAREER AIM


This should be no more than 20 lines. No recruiter will read beyond that length. Instead they will seek to explore this area further during the interview.

This section (provided it is short and to the point) is best placed at the front of the CV as the content constitutes an important part of your motivation to apply for the job. Placing it after a long list of audits, publications and courses will almost ensure that it does not get read at all.

It is worth spending some time on your career aims as they can be helpful is projecting a proactive and dynamic image of yourself at the start of the CV. A good career aims section can prompt your recruiters' subconscience to read your CV in a more positive light than they would otherwise have done.

Avoid simply writing "I want to be a consultant etc". We know that already! Mention any special interests that you are keen to develop (make sure it will be possible in the post that you are applying for), any service development that you want to become involved in, any ambition on the academic front (e.g. research projects or interests that you want to develop, any teaching involvement and at what level). You can also discuss your managerial ambitions. Be aware though that the career aim section will need to be tailored to the job that you are applying for (no point going on about research interests if the post does not involve research) and that writing a good section will therefore require some understanding and knowledge of the job description.

Do not write your life story and what a marvellous individual you are. There is no room for waffle in a CV and it is not the place to sell your interpersonal skills (this is for the interview. Stick to facts and avoid any mention of communication, team playing and other generic skills.

QUALIFICATIONS


List your qualifications in reverse chronological order. Start from your medical degrees (including any intercalated degree) - no one really cares about A' Levels.

List relevant dates and place of study

Include your CCT/CCST date (unless you have already included it at the top).

List any qualifications you are currently studying for (e.g. medical education degree)

PRIZES & AWARDS
This is fairly self-explanatory. Make sure that you include the date of the awards, who granted it and why is was granted. If you obtained a first prize for a poster, it would be nice to know how any many people you competed against. Avoid corny prizes such as Christmas quiz and other meaningless prizes. It may be that you will need to repeat some of this information later (for example, if you obtained a first prize for a presentation, you may want to repeat it in the presentation section), but this does not matter; having the prize on the first page will create a good impression, and repeating it later on will help placing it into context.

CURRENT APPOINTMENT
If you are currently doing a locum consultant post or are working as an associate specialist, then it may be worth isolating your current post from the rest of your training. This will give it more weight.

PAST APPOINTMENTS
For all your jobs, you should provide:


Dates: no need to give the exact day on which your started and ended the post; the month and year will be sufficient.

Job title and specialty/subspecialty

Hospital name (avoid giving the full name of the trust; this is not a legal document, but a document designed to give an idea of what you have done so far).

Name of supervising consultant

Make sure that your jobs are listed in reverse chronological order (i.e. going backwards in time). They are more interested in your recent experience than you House Officer posts or even your elective!

At consultant level, you should avoid having a CV whereby each job's duties and responsibilities are summarised under each heading. Since you are likely to have done dozens of different attachments and posts, it will drag on over many pages and it will make it difficult for the reader to extract what they need to know. You should make the recruiters' job easy by summarising the information in a way that they can digest easily. We therefore suggest that at this stage, you only list in a tabular format the jobs that you have done. Your overall experience can then be summarised in a separate more concise section. See next.

SUMMARY OF SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Your future employer will only really be interested in what you have to offer, i.e. what you can do now, and not what you did 10 years ago when you first became an SHO. You should therefore find a way to summarise your experience using appropriate headings.

Here are some examples of how you can subdivide your experience (Note: these are only examples and you will of course need to tailor your themes to the post that you are applying for and to your own experience):

Paediatrics


General Paediatrics

Neonatal

PICU

Other general medical/surgical experience

Psychiatry


General Adult Psychiatry

Substance Misuse

Outreach

Psychotherapy

General medical experience

Obs & Gynae (example 1)


Obstetrics

General gynaecology

Specialist gynaecology experience including uro-gynaecology and gynae-oncology

Obs & Gynae (Example 2)


Obstetrics

Gynaecology - clinics

Gynaecology - theatre

Cardiology


General cardiology experience

Paediatric cardiology

Procedural experience

Anaesthetics


General anaesthetics

Obstetrics anaesthetics

ITU experience

Other relevant experience (transport, etc)

Under each heading, you need to describe the extent of your experience and proficiency. For best effect, you should follow a number of essential rules:


Use bullet points, not sentences.


Use active wording such as - "Gained thorough experience of the management of patients with ...",
- "Confident in...",
- "Perform xxx independently...",
- "Responsible for ...",
- "Proficient in ..."
- "Played a fundamental role in ..."
- "Instrumental in ..."
- "Gained exposure to ..."

Avoid personal statements such as "I really enjoyed this post because it gave me the opportunity to ... etc". The CV is designed to present facts. Its role is two-fold: to get you short-listed and to provide talking points for the interview. Keep your personal statements until the interview, where you will be able to use them most effectively.

If you are applying for a surgical specialty, you should avoid listing all the procedures that you have done. Instead it may be wiser to include in the CV a summary of your log book. Ideally this should fit one one page only. If it is longer than one page, you should include it as an appendix to the CV (i.e. at the end) so that it does not push the rest of the CV too far back.

MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE
This should include any experience of managing people and resources, including:


Designing rotas

Leading projects such as audits or research

Designing and implementing teaching programmes

Representing colleagues on committees (e.g. clinical governance or other team meetings)

Deriving and implementing new guidelines

Involvement in recruitment (though simply sitting on interview panels is not really a managerial activity).

If you want, you can include experience outside of medicine, though you should place it at the end. You might actually want to split this section between "Medical" and "Non-medical".

You can also include any management courses or events that you attended. Note: this information may be repeated in the courses section, but this does not matter. Repetitions are acceptable provided they are not concerning a huge amount of information and provided they serve a purpose (in this case, presenting a complete picture of your management experience without getting the recruiters to cross-reference the information for themselves).

TEACHING EXPERIENCE


Include all formal and informal teaching done. Mention the type of audiences that you have taught (juniors, peers, nurses, GPs) as well as some of the key topics. Naming topics helps being credibility to your answer.

One of the aspects that they will be looking for is an awareness of a range of teaching methods. You should ensure that you mention the various methods that you used (bedside teaching, formal lectures using PowerPoint, informal/formal supervision, videos, etc).

Mention any formal training received and courses attended.

If patient education is a big part of your job, then it may be worth mentioning your experience of it in the teaching section.

AUDITS


List the title and date of the audit in reverse chronological order.

For each audit you should provide a short summary, providing the aim of the audit, your role, the conclusions drawn and actions taken as a result (2-3 bullet points, 5 or 6 lines maximum).

RESEARCH
Indicate the year of each project, quote the title of your research and provide a short description of your role in bullet points format. Present the information in reverse chronological order.


PUBLICATIONS


Make sure you are telling the entire truth (including your ranking on the authors list). Interviewers have been known to check the database in front of candidates at the interview.

Present your publications in a tabular format, in reverse chronological order. List the title, authors and relevant dates. Ideally, you should place the year in the left hand margin and the rest of the information on the right.

Many candidates present their publications in the conventional manner i.e. with the authors first, followed by the title of the publication and then the journal. If you follow this approach, the titles will be all over the place on the page (since the title starts after the list of authors) and this may make it difficult for the recruiters to see exactly what you have written on. You may thus wish to adopt a different listing approach, with the title coming first, followed by the authors and the journal. To make the information even more readable, you may even wish to present each element on a different line (i.e. title on one line, authors on the next line and journal on a third line).

Your publications should be listed in reverse chronological order i.e. most recent first. This will ensure that the most interesting information is seen first. If you have a substantial number of publications and you feel that the list is just too long, you should try to weed out some of the less interesting papers/cases. Remember that the CV is designed to achieve a purpose, which is to get you short-listed. It is not necessarily an entire biography. If the content gets in the way of readability then get rid of some of the less interesting stuff.

To improve readability, you may wish to separate your publications in relevant categories (e.g. peer-reviewed papers, abstracts, case reports, book chapters, etc)

PRESENTATIONS


List the dates (year, month will suffice), the titles and authors. This should be presented in a tabular format to improve readability.

If you obtained any prizes or awards, mention them under the appropriate presentation.

If you can, try to separate your presentations in different types (assuming you have enough of each type to do this) such as: international, regional, local.

COURSES & MEETINGS
Courses and meetings normally feature straight after the clinical experience in an SHO's or SpR's CV. For consultants however, this information is not as important as the rest and it is therefore acceptable to place it towards the end of the CV (It means that your recruiters do not have to read through pages of courses before they can get to your managerial experience).


For each course, show the date, title of the course and organising institution.

Present the information in a tabular format.

Make sure that you mention the organiser as opposed to the place where the training took place.

As well as clinical courses, included management, research and teaching courses.

Leave out all courses which relate to exam preparation; it adds no value.

COMPUTER / IT SKILLS


Include all relevant basic software e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Internet.

If you can use digital photo manipulation software or have experience of web design you can mention it here too.

Include all specialist software (statistics pacakges, reference managers etc).

Include databases that you frequently search for literature searches.

Do not mention skills that you have no real experience of if your experience is only basic and at hobby level. For example, "Can use Corel" would only make sense if you are actually proficient at using it, but not if you only use it to view your holiday snaps!

LANGUAGE SKILLS & SPECIAL INTERESTS


By any means state the languages that you can speak if in small number as well as your degree of fluency (e.g. German - basic, French - conversational). If you speak several dialects due to your ethnic origin, it is best to place them under an umbrella definition (e.g. fluent in 7 Indian dialects ) rather than list them all separately.

Mention any involvement in voluntary work and list your hobbies. There is no need to find fancy hobbies to sound interesting. Spending time with your children makes you sound more "normal" than climbing Mount Everest every week-end!

Strike the right balance between group activities and lonely activities

"Having fun" is not a personal interest as far as CVs are concerned. Nor is "Drinking with mates".

MISCELLANEOUS


This section can be used for information in which you feel the interviewer may have an interest but that does not have major importance as far as your eligibility for the job is concerned (e.g. driving licence, marital status & number of children, etc). You should keep this section to the bare minimum.

You might also want to include your memberships of various institutions (though some prefer to place these in a separate section.

REFERENCES
No more than three unless otherwise requested. Provide their name, job title, correspondence address, telephone number, fax number and email address.
