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.

WORK EXPERIENCE

*** Health Clinic, city, country ( 2006 - Jun, 2007)

My simultaneous enthusiasm for conducting evidence-based medicine in all aspects of my practice and medical research resulted to my proposition of carrying out problem-oriented surveys and local researches to promote comprehensive health care and patient management. As the result we decided to undertake some preventive and educational measures to reduce the number of patients with low back pain, knee pain, depression, peptic ulcer, headache altogether by 19 percent within an eight-month follow-up of the targeted population. I worked with three other doctors, seven nurses, and ten physician assistances, also being responsible for monitoring nurses and assistances work, coordinating personnel, and scheduling night shifts.

Mr.....
SCAN coordinator
INSA de LYON
20 Albert Einstein

Dear Mr.....,

I'm writing to you to express my motivation to join SCAN section next year. Reading in the document of presentation, I was motivated to forward my resume to see if my qualification might be possible to join SCAN.

As we know, SCAN is a section that provides a multi-cultural environment and an international linguistic dimension. All SCAN students benefit from the same high-level scientific teaching with the specific feature of the SCAN section being that lectures, course work and practical classes are in English.

Actually, english is the key of international communication. In the world of engineer, english is also the key giving access to the fortune of scientific knowledge. To become a successful engineer, in the international environment , it might be necessary to master english. That is also my aim .Joining SCAN, I will have a chance to perfect my english, to discover science, as I always love to, with a new methods and a new points of view: the anglophone sciences. And through sciences, does it also a great way to discover an anglophone culture?

"Enthusiastic" was how I characterized my feelings towards SCAN section. As I always love Sciences and Foreign languages, during my secondary and high school, I have learnt sciences in French. With such an experience, I know how effective and interesting will it be, study these scientific subjects through the media of English. Nothing is easy, and SCAN section motivates me also by its challenges.

I am confident in my ability to study in english. For the first year at ASINSA, I had english course with the others french friends ,in the class 2/4. At the end of the first school years, I had .... points for my Toefl.
I believe having a necessary english level that can make sure of my ability to study at SCAN. About the scientific level, I am also ready to confront the new obstacle next year.

Please consider me as a serious candidate for SCAN section next year. I could be reached at the e- mail address below
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,

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
....

Please help with my motivation letter

jjjana — Sun, 30 Jan 2005 22:35:03 GMT

Dear Moderators,
first of all I would like to express my great admiration to these pages and to all moderators here. Your work is wonderful â thank you.

I would like to ask you if you would be so kind and look through my motivation letter.

I am a graduate student at the university in the Czech republic and I applied for a scholarship for Summer English Language Course at the University of Malta. My English is quite poor, but I am doing my best. Writing of this letter is very hard for me, although I went through several helping-pages and this forum as well. The reasons are as follow:
- my language skills are bad
- my letter is quite special, because it is âonlyâ for a one month language course. That is why I could not use ordinary rules for writing these letters, because most of them are meant for those, who are eager to enter university or start new job.
- third, I already passed the first round which took place in the Czech rep. and now I was only asked to send my materials to the Malthesen side. They told me that even though there is still chance, that I will not be accepted, it is rather unlikely to happen. (which is a good news)

What I wanted to say is, that I know that my letter is much more poorer than the others in this forum, it is also much shorter. Nevertheless, I ask you for your kind help.
I am looking forward to your comments.
Kind regards Jana

Motivation Letter / Letter of Motivation / Cover Letter
(You see, I have even problems with the title)

Dear Sir or Madam:

With this letter, I would like to express my interest in taking part at the ISE (The International School of English) by the University of Malta.

Having looked through the materials of the Foreign Department of my university, I was very delighted to find the opportunity to spend one month learning English at the Universtity of Malta in this summer. I have decided to apply for this scholarship, because from my own experience I know, that the best way, how to learn a foreign language, is to spend some time in respective country.

After graduating from high school I started studying at the Whichever University in Wherever. I have always liked travelling and I also enjoy learning languages and talking to foreigners, which is the best way how to find out more about the country. Therefore I decided for Regional Geography specializing in European Union Studies. This branch is based on experiencing and learning about different culture backgrounds. That is why learning about Malta (as a new EU country), Maltese language, culture and people living there is an essential part of my university studies..

I have been learning English for more than 10 years and today I can say that Iâm on quite a good level. Three years ago I succesfully passed the FCE Cambridge Examination. I think, that language courses arranged here in my country are not very helpful for me any more and for further improvement I would need to spend some time abroad. I have also been learning German and Hungarian and I have already twice went through Summer University Courses of Hungarian language in Hungary in last two years. I really appreciated these experience.

If I got the opportunity to spend a month in this summer at the ISE in Malta, I would like to improve in my English to such a level, that I could pass a TOEFL examination after my return and next year I could apply for a scholarship offered through SOCRATES â ERASMUS programme. In addition to this, the experience of education in Malta would be extremly exciting and valuable for my studies and whole life.

Thank you for your time to consider my request, I am looking forward to your answer.

Yours Faithfully,

Jana XZ

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 !!!
