"A doctor’s curriculum vitae is a marketing piece that advertises his knowledge and talent. It should pique an employer’s curiosity and encourage him to invite you in for a personal interview and an in-depth look at what you can offer the organization. Highlight your clinical skills and knowledge, providing an overview of your experience and qualifications and a summary of your strengths...If you’re a recent graduate or have only a few years of professional experience, mention your education information at the top of your CV. Highlight academic honors...If you’ve been practicing medicine for several years, move your education category to the end of...your CV. List not only degrees earned, but also internships, assistantships, and competitive scholarships and fellowships. Also note the title and subject of your master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation. In addition, note certifications and licenses...[H]ighlight your accomplishments and any additional responsibilities such as serving on committees. Break your experience into categories, noting full-time and part-time positions separately. Also, create separate sections for faculty positions, administrative roles and hospital staff privileges. Include the same amount of information for each position...[C]reate individual sections for professional affiliations, research interests and industry contributions such as journal articles and presentations at medical conferences. Mention professional and medical associations you belong to, noting leadership positions you’ve held or participation in committees and other activities. If you’ve won research grants, include the name of the funding organization, the amount you received and the focus of your research. Also include a section for industry and academic awards...Your complete CV might span several pages, but for your job search create a condensed version that hits just the highlights. Keep your CV to two pages or less unless you're seeking an academic position. Maintain a thorough CV or compile an addendum you can offer if employers request additional information...[S]um up each section." Louise B. reports:
"If you have a home office, that’s great! You’re already ahead of the game. Take advantage of home-office space by locking the door and hunkering down to write...Consider creating a writing space in the corner of your living room, dinning room, or den; a sturdy desk and a comfortable chair are really all you need. If working at home creates too many distractions, bring your laptop to the local library, your favorite coffee shop, or even a city park...[M]ake a to-do list and prioritize your time...Do what is most important first! Finishing a project that pays the bills should take precedence over your favorite TV shows, online window shopping, or a closet-cleaning marathon...Savvy full-time writers know they need to spend the bulk of their day on writing assignments or marketing their writing services. If you write part-time, it might take more effort to schedule a block of time to write. You may need to schedule your writing time around your family’s schedule or another part-time job...If this is your situation, consider waking up an hour or two earlier, or work late in the evening after everyone else is in bed...At the start of each day, ask yourself what you want to accomplish as a writer. Setting concrete, achievable goals...will keep you focused. When you adhere to your list of writing goals, you know what you have to do and you won’t waste time jumping from task to task...It’s a good idea to carry a small notebook with you. (Similarly, you should make liberal use of your phone’s Notes app.) During those 'throwaway' chunks of time, jot down marketing ideas, article pitches for clients, or the beginning of a short story...Stealing a few minutes here and there is another way to find time to write. A writing routine helps freelance writers who struggle to find time to write. By following these tips and reminding yourself of your goals, you’ll make the time necessary to prioritize writing." |
