Travel Nursing: Tips for Getting an Interview

Although nursing is one of the fastest growing occupations in the nation, it doesn’t mean that it’s easy to get an interview. Applicants will still need to make sure their resume and online application stands out so they can land a job.

Tailor your resumes to the medical specialty. For example, if the position will be in a pediatric or oncology unit, rewrite your resume to include skills specific to this area. This will avoid getting your resume dumped into the “unqualified” pile because your skills aren’t a good match.

Create a highlights section. When a travel nurse recruiter reviews a resume, they often make decisions in this section. For this reason, it’s important to include your most impressive accomplishments in the first couple of paragraphs. This will entice the recruiter to read further.

Partner with a staffing agency. Companies like Clinical One specialize in placing travel nurses. They can help match you with employers and ensure your resume is up to par. Update your resume and application on Clinical One's job board and be sure to complete a skills checklist for each of your areas of expertise. Include your most recent work experience and all educational history.
