How do you write a cover letter for a nonclinical physician job?
Do doctors really have to personalize a nonclinical resume for every job application? 

If you’re looking for ways to maximize your resume and cover letter to fit your nonclinical career aspirations, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:

• The real purpose of a nonclinical resume
• How a nonclinical resume is different from a CV in format and style
• What to include in your resume that’s not in your CV
• What to put in your cover letter that’s not in your resume

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about what your nonclinical resume and cover letter can do for you that your CV cannot. After listening, you’ll have the tools to create a resume and cover letter that are effective  - the kind that will position you to be a successful candidate, get that interview, and land that nonclinical job. And, we’ll cover the big question on everyone’s mind: Do you really have to personalize your resume for every job? 

Plus - and this is fun - I broadcast this podcast live into Clubhouse as I was recording it, so we had some great Q&A included. I’ll be doing that more in the future so hope to ‘see’ you there!

“To hear podcasts and other conversations live (and before anyone else), follow my Clubhouse room, Nonclinical Doctors.” - Marjorie Stiegler
