5 Tips for Making Your Nursing Resume Stand Out!

One of the most important documents you will ever submit to future employers, externships, and internships is your RESUME! Given that every applicant will be submitting one for consideration, you want to make sure that yours stands out. As an NYU student the Wasserman Center for Career Development is an excellent resource available to assist you in making sure your resume will land you the job you want. Can’t make it to campus to meet with a career counselor? Think you have a good resume but want to make it stand out?

Check out these Top Five Tips to having a great nursing resume:

3. List extracurricular activities, particularly those with leadership roles
4. Include a Volunteer or Additional Experience section if relevant
5. Include a Language section if you are bilingual/multilingual
