Writing and Polishing Your LNC Resume
Watch the beginning of the first Advanced LNC Workshop: Writing and Polishing Your LNC Resume!
Your LNC resume is one of the most important documents you will write. The quality of your resume and cover letter can determine whether or not you get hired. Therefore, it is essential that you describe your qualifications in a clear and concise manner, highlighting your capabilities to perform medical-legal work.
Formatting also plays a key role in how your resume will be perceived. Use a clean and simple format with bold headers so the reader can easily skim from section to section. Using bullets instead of a written paragraph can make it easier to skim certain types of information.
It is crucial that your resume be error-free. If there are grammar or punctuation errors attorneys may question your competency in handling complex cases or drafting accurate reports. Fortunately, there are some great new online tools (some are free) to help you correct any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors. There are also some AI tools that can help improve your writing, but you still need to proofread everything!
Many people have lost a job opportunity because of a poorly written resume or CV. They probably don’t know that this is why they didn’t get the job. Taking the time to improve your resume or CV and translate your past nursing experience into skills that relate to medical-legal work is a great investment of your time and money.
I tackle all these topics and more in this Advanced LNC Workshop on Writing and Polishing Your LNC Resume.
These are the topics I cover:
1. Resume Outline
2. Resume Formatting
3. Differences Between a Nurse and a LNC Resume
4. Describing LNC Skills and Tasks
5. Good and Bad Examples
6. Common Grammar and Punctuation Errors
7. Correct it /Rewrite it
