For doctors wanting much more from their career

Non-Medical CV, LinkedIn & Interview Services for Doctors

by Medic Footprints Co-Founder, Sara Sabin

Why Do You Need This Service?

As doctors, we are hungry to progress in our careers. We have the skills, drive and commitment to make lasting impact.

However, we are often held back – especially when applying for a role outside conventional medicine. This is likely because there is a lot of uncertainty in how we can stand out in an otherwise diverse, complex jobs market.

Questions we have may include:

What does a strong non-medical CV look like when I’ve only ever worked in clinical roles?

 

How can I make sure that interviewers and recruiters get to see the ‘full, real me’ based on limited interview processes and online CV applications?

 

What do I need to know when applying to work in a new, unfamiliar sector such as management consultancy?

Testimonials

  • “As I was applying for my first management consulting job as an experienced hire, I was put in contact with Sara. She provided some helpful material to work on, and then we worked through the interview process, as well as case studies.

    Having never applied for a similar position, as I had worked in the NHS as a doctor for my entire work life prior to this. Following her helpful guidance I was able to secure the first and only job I applied for in a highly selective and competitive boutique firm.

    The feedback I received from the interview was that I was very strong in the interviews and case studies, and it was easy for them to offer me a position in a senior position despite my lack of management consulting experience.

    It was very clear, that Sara’s guidance allowed me to perform well in the selection process, guide me on how to answer case studies, and provide insight into what being a management consultant involves.”

    Dr. Sarah Owen

  • “I approached Sara because I needed help with my CV, I am a medical doctor and was looking for advices on how to write a non-medical CV. Sara promptly replied my email, explained her work and helped me by providing expert advices. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced about how to prepare a non-medical CV. The result was great, and I was so satisfied with her professionalism and the quality of the  work that I request her advices on how to prepare a cover letter, and later on how to optimise my LinkedIn profile. One thing that I liked was that, in addition to the extremely helpful advices on those services, she offered me supportive tips for how to approach job hunting. Moreover, all the work was quick, careful and extremely professional. I was glad to find such a great professional, and I would definitely recommend Sara to doctors who need help transitioning career.”

    Yuri, Clinical Research Fellow

  • “I just wanted to say thank you so much for your help and guidance. I really appreciated it as it helped focus me and think about what I wanted my CV to say rather than just listing off previous jobs. Thanks again and it is great to know that I can contact you again in the future.”

    Angharad Taylor

  • Highly recommend Sara’s CV consultancy service. She was professional, friendly, efficient and very prompt with her communications. She gave a high level of detail and insight in her analysis. I am now more confident that my CV stands me in good stead with potential employers.

    Jason, Radiology Registrar

  • I had a very positive experience with Sara, she offers a very professional service. Her insights were invaluable and her suggestions gave me the direction I needed, I’d happily recommended her!

    Dr. Harpreet Kaur Mann

  • Sara helped me restructure and rewrite my CV and write a cover letter. I highly recommend her. I found her advice and suggestions invaluable. She encouraged me to really think about previous experiences that I had, had in order to create a CV with impact. From my initial interaction with her I felt very reassured as she came across very competent and knowledgeable. She was also very reliable and she always got back to me very promptly. Sara is someone who gets a job done!!

    I then asked her to help me with interview skills, and did a Zoom session with her. Sara sent various questions to me before the session, to allow me time to prepare answers. I was delighted with the session as it gave me the opportunity to practice and discuss my answers, and obtain constructive feedback. I certainly feel a lot more confident about interviews now. I felt the session was invaluable and I would highly recommend it.

    Thank you so much Sara.
