MG - make sure you put in that you have expert experience with the subject matter and all your relevant teaching/mentoring experience (including med students/reg's etc). Any communication skills courses/inservices or some CPD that could be considered relevant to proving you have extra experience to support/facilitate others in their learning. I like to make sure I have convered all the KPI's in the job description, write in firm language - so that you demonstrate all skills etc and like to put a bit about how my personal goals etc measure to that of the department/hospital etc. Kind of like a personal misson and vision statement.
Good Luck - I am sure you will impress them! xx
How am I going to get all that across in a 1 page cover letter?! Or am I suppose to get that into my CV?
Ce - can I use CFA? That was *calculates in head* nearly 4 years ago... and no references from there. I went on Mat leave from CFA in Nov 2006 and resigned in June or July 2007.
Bit of both!! KPI's etc in CV but clearly address your suitability for the role in the letter! Any experience that is relevant put on but make sure you don't overlook any mentoring/training/relevant stuff in your current role that is applicable. Generally my experience is people often assume that the interviewers etc 'know' they have experience and can do the appropriate tasks etc but you have to state it! Start by drafting your letter and CV then really be harsh and rework etc - may take some time but it will help you with the interview prep too!
I think I'm up to about the 6th version of my letter and CV Mak! This is proving hard! I haven't had to apply for a job for about 3 or 4 years! Thanks for your advice!
