A physio in my DMs this week told me they felt silly listing their non-clinical work, cos it didn’t feel like enough. They’d just listed all the stuff they do outside their caseload and mentioned that often they take work home so they can still keep up with their clinical load, girl same 🫠.
I sent a CV review back to a physio with over 10 years experience who was applying for a project role in health. Here’s what I found when I looked at their CV:
- 🗂️ Every job opened with clinical duties and any project work came second.
- 📉 Their most impressive project was at the bottom of page 3 (it was a 4 page doc).
- 👕 One change they made was a department idea that involved a hospital-wide committee, but it read like a list of errands.
- 👥 The biggest data point - rostering weekends for ~110 staff - was buried in a separate section.
They told me it was the first time they’d seen the project work from their clinical roles written out the way I had, and they were surprised how much there was (once it was all put together). And I hadn’t elaborated or taken any creative licence. They’d done so many amazing things - they were just all buried in a really impressive clinical CV aka hiding in plain sight.
These are just 2 examples of the convos I’m having with you all and they’re why I’m running a small pilot, working 1:1 with clinicians on exactly this. It’s for you if:
- you “barely know what I would be a fit for” 🤷♀️
- you feel silly listing what you’ve done beyond your caseload 😬
- you’re ready to move but “don’t know where to start” 🧭
In four weeks, we build your clinical exit strategy. You’ll know:
- The 2 or 3 non-clinical roles that suit you and what they pay 💰
- How to translate your clinical skills into compelling non-clinical language 💬
- Who works in those roles, and how to start talking to them 🤝
Next: my last clinical CV, torn down and rewritten for a project manager role.
