#Match2023 After reviewing another batch of CVs, please find 🧵 on enhancing your CV.
1) Streamlined - I can't emphasize this enough. It should be easy to follow, organized, chronological when applicable and FORMATTED. Standard font, size and black and white.

2) Headings - it should be complete with information about you. Please include hobbies/languages/volunteering. Too often this is one of the factors in decision for interviews. Many say to avoid listing negative hobbies like vid games/social media (but I am biased, @GamerEMDoc).
3) Elaboration - please show some DEPTH about the experiences in a CONCISE manner. 'I performed H&Ps' is great but can you show what skill/life lesson you have learned on a deeper manner? Specific procedures. EMR. Unique exposure etc.
4) Historical - it's important to cover any gaps in timeline. It's okay to put experiences prior to bachelors/medical school if they show relevance and explains current interests. If you can justify it, don't be scared to include it. 'Worked w/ computers - medical AI interests'
5) FOCUS - Keep the spotlight of the CV on YOU. PDs are less interested what the organization accomplished but rather what you gained from that experience. Your skill sets, life lessons, exposures, interests, talents etc.
6) Bonus For IMGs - US Clinical/Work Experience, this heading is your bread and butter. This shows your experience in the US, the system, the culture and will help you during interviews. Prior training should be included.
A great CV is your gateway to nailing your interviews. If it's easy to follow, it gives the reader an entire timeline of your journey. This helps to engage in meaningful and memorable conversations about YOU. It shows your interests, experiences, and direction.
TL;DR
1) Streamlined with formatting
2) Complete information with appropriate headings
3) Show depth with concise information
4) Historical experiences with time gaps explained
5) Keep the focus on yourself
6) IMGs - US clinical experience outlined
#MedTwitter. Best Wishes!
