Curriculum Vitae preparation is essential for any job application, especially in the medical field. Medics are expected to have basic primary qualifications, therefore everything achieved after this time is what sets them apart from others. Your clinical skills, certifications and post-graduate qualifications should be illustrated clearly in your CVand should be relevant to the post which you are applying to.
