Re: Kindly Reveiw Resume/CV for MD post

Hi,

Yes, I agree that my summary is too long, Shall I eliminate it and instead write a cover letter? I would just make it shorter and in point form. Think of it as a chance to highlight your strengths.

Is this summary suitable to be a cover letter? You could use parts of it, but focus on the purpose of a cover letter.

Say what job/kind of job you want

Introduce yourself and your skills briefly, in terms of why people should choose you for this job.

Ask for an interview or whatever action you want the agency to take

Do I need a cover letter for a recruiting agency after all? I don't know. I think it's probably a good idea.

What about the rest of CV? I've added a few comments.

There are also books etc. available that give sample CV's for professional people. Have you had a chance to look at such things? You should.

Best wishes, Clive

SUMMARY

A highly motivated, determined, and dedicated 29 year old general practitioner (GP) with practical work experience in conducting evidence based medicine during my 16th month compulsory national service, when I was working as a GP in a health clinic handling most aspects of a GP responsibilities. My appreciation for importance of â evidence based medicineâ has led me to propose surveys and researches to gather appropriate data concerning most daily encountered medical problems. My commitment to humanitarian activities and my professional obligations led to a two-week voluntary work for Red Crescent during the very first days of catastrophic *** earthquake ( date), when I experienced working with the least equipment and facilities during a natural disaster of massive number of casualties and lots of emergencies. I spent two month of my internship and one month of my clerkship in a rural health clinic where I became familiar with the the country health system and policies in rural area while under supervision I was responsible for daily patient care and visits, handling and updating patients records, doing patients follow-ups, vaccination, pregnancy and pediatric routine cares, birth control, consultation, monitoring community health and addressing any health problem in the community. I proposed a survey during this invaluable experience of my internship to find out the results of failure of patient for following up their routing visits especially for pregnant women and juvenileâs which resulted in 23 percent increase in their attendance. The rest of my internship was in a large medical center in *** city during which we were trained for conducting a wide array of medical skills in all medical disciplines. I understand the value of research in medicine and have always been keen to conduct practical researches to solve some problems of community or bring new treatment to practice, which could be noticed from my research background. I have always been eager to connect my current knowledge to perpetual stream of new medical breakthroughs and practices through reading reputable medical journals, however my research background makes me to be critical to new article and research papers form content and methodology perspective. Playing Basketball has taught me the value of teamwork and to be more proficient in indispensable art of time management. I studied medicine in and graduated from a medical school listed in both WHO and IMED directory of medical schools.

Motivation letter to Master exchange program

Lindita — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 19:56:01 GMT

Hello,

Could you please check my cover letter to Masters exchange program? I would be very grateful for any comments and advice.

Thank you,

Lindita

Dear Mrs. ***

My name is yyy. I study at the University of Economics in ... , the Faculty of Management. I will pass my bachelor exam this year. This should consist of Management of Quality, Project Management, Logistics, and Human Resource Management. Thanks to my previous good study results I spend at school just two days weekly. I have passed all of the obligatory exams yet. Because of this fact I have much free time but I try not to waste it and therefore I work in ... where I live rest of the week.

Although I am a student I help to run our family business over a year and also have a job in a shoe store as an assistant of retail director and as a shop assistant as well. I like studies, studies of almost everything. My passion is learning foreign languages. This semester I prepare myself for IELTS exam (English for academic purposes). During the summer semester, I would like to improve my knowledge of Russian or Spanish and perhaps pass some exam as well. I do not have much free time, but most of all leisure activities I prefer traveling, learning languages and meeting my friends as well as getting know new people.

I would like to take advantage of possibility to join the CEMS MIM program, which seems to be very useful for my future plans and my career. Above all the internship in some firm, where I think we, students, can meet the reality. I like to spread out my experience in all fields of human resource management, marketing, and advertisement and I have been interested in international relations and European integration for a long time.

My career goal is to work in a field of international management consulting. My deep impression of CEMS MIM program results not only from the the opportunity and possibility to learn more about managing but I think it is very important to have any experience from studies abroad as well. This all with achieved intercultural experiences could give me an opportunity to obtain an advantage in the international competition.

I am hardworking, responsible, reliable, creative and friendly person. I like to work in team as well as to solve problems separately. Together with my liking for sudies I feel I would fit well to the CEMS MIM program. And I would be realy happy for possibility to take part in this exclusive exchange program (in assesment centre).

Thank you for your consideration. Should you need any additional information, please feel free to contact me. I am looking forward to hearing from you at your convenience.

Yours sincerely,

yyy

Cover letter on English language proficiency

Aleks — Sun, 27 Feb 2005 19:05:05 GMT

Hi,
In order to be accepted into the university I am applying to, I have send in English language proficiency proof. Preferably by IELTS or TOEFL results, but it is also possible to write a cover letter explaining why I think I shouldn't have to.......

Could you check this out and tell me if you think it's ok? I would appreciate it !!

To whom it may concern

As all non-native students must demonstrate their English proficiency in order to get accepted into (Xx) University, I kindly ask you to exempt me from sending in IELTS or TOEFL results, and treating this letter as proof that I am a fluent English speaker.

From my youngest years I have been brought up in an English speaking society.
Since the age of 5 I have attended an Australian primary public school in Sydney.
I have learnt English the natural way, but going to school and playing with other Australian kids. I believe young children learn languages the fastest, and I have been lucky enough to have the benefit of learning good English this way.

Later on I have lived in (Xx) where I have attended the International School of (Xx).
I have improved my English in all academic matters. I have learnt problem solving and critical thinking, English has become the language in which I learned to think in.
As a main language at high school level, it is also been the language in which i have done all my high school exams, that I have passed with good results.
I believe that, even tho my mother tongue is (Xx), I should be treated as a native English speaker.

I kindly ask you to look over this matter and exempt me from sending in other proof of language proficiency.

Yours sincerely
....

Proving english proficiency in a covering letter???

Aleks — Sat, 11 Dec 2004 12:28:29 GMT

Hi !!! would you be so kind and explain how to show english proficiency in a cover letter?? I would be really really grateful !!!

The university I am applying to asks for proof of english language proficiency. They say that non-native speakers must demonstrate their proficiency with a test result in IELTS or TOEFL. Yet I have also found information that if we feel that we don't need to take such tests we should write a covering letter stating why.

Even tho I am not a native speaker, I have attended an Australian primary school, I have done my IGCSE's in english in an international school and same goes for my high school IB diploma. So I think it's enough proof, right?!
And anyways, I thought a covering letter is something you write for a job application ?! What do you think I need to include in this letter to show them that my past is enough proof of my proficiency?

I look forward to the tips !!!
