Academic Work

Have you passed all your academic work? Is there something that you have found a particular interest in? What is your dissertation on?

Clinical Placements

Where have they been undertaken? Which areas of the service have you worked in e.g. Experience of Antenatal Clinic and ward, Postnatal Ward, Community, Special Care Baby Unit, Delivery Suite plus non-midwifery placements on Gynaecology and General Medical wards.  Does your unit have Baby Friendly status or a research facility?

Who have you cared for? e.g. a diverse inner-city population / a rural community, have you experience of deprived areas, asylum seeking women, substance abusers or HIV positive women? Have all of your clinical skills been achieved and assessments passed to date?

Have got experience of both high and low-risk care? Have you been to home or water births? Where do your interests lie – you might enjoy high risk delivery suite care, or prefer low risk community settings.
Tailor this to the unit you are applying to – you can always print more than one version of your CV ;-)

Extra Curricular Activities

What can you offer outside of your course? Everyone applying will have similar experience and the same qualification. This is your chance to stand out! Are you a class rep, have you helped with open days or ‘buddied’ other students? Have you attended conferences, spoken at conferences, or been a member of the ARM? Do you participate in online midwifery forums? Have you had any work published? Have you got any other skills such as alternative therapies or breastfeeding counsellor status? Do you subscribe to any journals?

Do you have any hobbies or personal interests outside of midwifery? This doesn’t have to be an extensive or exciting list – just demonstrate that you are a rounded person and it might give them some background that helps them to relate to you!

Academic

Clinical

Always include your personal tutor at university as one of your referees.

Ask one of your mentors to be a referee – most employers will want both academic and clinical references.

You can add another box in if you have a part time job and they are willing to give you a reference, but 3 is enough!
