How to write a standout nurse advisor CV
When applying for a nurse advisor role, a standout CV is crucial to the success of your application. Your CV needs to show recruiters and potential employers that you have the right qualifications, skills, experience, and knowledge to fill the position. This article will guide you through the steps of creating an interview-winning nurse advisor CV.
Make sure you are qualified for the advertised role
Statistically, only 58% of candidates who apply for jobs are qualified for the role. This means that 42% of CVs often won’t get a second look.
Make your CV stand out by ensuring that it gets to the point quickly. Highlight how you meet the role’s requirements using bullet points and keep other information concise. If your CV passes this inspection, it more is likely to make it to the interview pile.
If you are not sure what is expected from a nurse advisor, you will find the following article very helpful: What does a nurse advisor do and why should you become one?
Tip: look for keywords in the job listing and then include them in your CV. This will prove that you studied the ad and that you are a qualifying candidate.
Presentation is important
Nurse advisor careers require professionalism and if your CV comes across as amateur, then the recruiters may not even attempt to read it.
Type your CV using a modern layout and font and keep the layout simple and spaced out. Make sure that you proofread your writing to ensure that it is error-free and ask a friend or family member to check it for you too.
As mentioned before, it is best to keep paragraphs concise, adding bullet points to highlight important qualifications, skills, and experience. Most CVs today average two pages, however, if your career as a nurse advisor spans over many years, then it’s better to provide too much information than too little.
A professional CV will ascertain that you are serious about the position and that you can work meticulously.
Don’t be afraid to get personal
A professional CV that promotes your expertise is important, but many recruiters are also looking for a certain level of personality between the lines. This especially applies in the nursing niche where soft skills are crucial to the job. For example, emotional intelligence is needed to help protect nurses and patients from burnout by knowing how to decipher what they need before they need it.
No matter whether you are a nursing advisor or in a nurse specialist role, you are also going to need social skills. Make your CV stand out by writing in a way that reflects your disposition. Talk to the recruiters through your CV so that they feel you are socialising with them. This will emphasise your people skills.
At the end of your CV, you can include a short paragraph that describes your character and interests so that the recruiters and employers can determine if you are going to be a good fit for the job.
Share quantifiable information
Sharing quantifiable information will make your CV unique and a cut above the rest. You can do this by providing specific descriptions of accomplishments backed by figures that promote your performance.
For example, you can highlight the number of nurses supervised or the rate at which your department improved under your advisory.
Even small details, like the number of patients seen each day, can provide a clearer picture of your accomplishments when applying for clinical nurse advisor jobs.

A quick note to say thank you for your time this morning discussing my future career options. As you know I was feeling very conflicted about the right decision. Discussing the role with you gave me chance to clarify what is important to me.
Just following on from the amazing news I got yesterday I wanted to say a really special thank you for all the help and support you have provided throughout the entire recruitment process.
Since joining IQVIA I have had unrivalled support and development from my manager to enable me to aspire to move into secondary care. I feel like my career is strongly supported by my manager in order to maximise my potential.
IQVIA has been behind my development to become a MSL. The contracts that I have worked on have allowed me to push clinical projects with a recent opportunity to manage a pilot scheme integrating e-detailing into an established field based team. The result was an increase in sales.
Once again I cannot thank you enough for not only approaching me with this opportunity but also for all the support you’ve given me along the way!
