Thanks so much for the advice
![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Now, since my resume has all of my coding qualifications on it, what would be a good way to edit it for the jobs I apply for that aren't coding jobs, yet still show that I have some knowledge in the medical field? I attached my resume for you to view (would only fit in text format instead of word, so it looks a little scrambled) Any advice would be appreciated!
I have always had good success with my Resume when I was looking for jobs. Now I am a small business owner and notice major differences in Resumes. This is just my adivce, so feel free to disregard it if you wish..........
Parts of your Resume I would change:
QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY
Medical/Clerical professional experienced working in fast-paced environments demanding strong organizational, technical,
and interpersonal skills. Take this portion and replace it with a more flexible type of Objective.
Example: Objective: To obtain a position that utilizes my education and experience of coding and medicine, requires personal responsibility, and encourages growth.
Trustworthy, ethical, and discreet, committed to superior accuracy. Detail-oriented and resourceful in completing projects; able to multi-task effectively.
Remove this from the Resume and use it on your cover letter.
Watch your tenses (-ed; -ing). Make sure you use one or the other, but not both. I personally preffer -ing because it gives the effect that I still have these skills. See below in red
