I have a confession to make.

For many years I have had a copy of my physician assistant resume posted here on the website, available for download as a guide to help you structure and organize your own physician assistant CV.

It has helped 100's (if not 1000's) of practicing and new graduate PAs like yourself hit the ground running.

But the truth is last year when I was back in the job search I created a new CV that was so effective I was hesitant to share it with the masses. Honestly, I was afraid if I let you in on my little secret you all would take my job.

I can no longer ethically hide in the shadows, so today against my better judgment, I am going to share my secret gem for landing PA job interviews.

It is called VisualCV and it's amazing

VisualCV takes the pain out of creating (and maintaining) a resume

You can create a beautifully formatted CV in a matter of minutes

You can change the format and layout at the press of a button

Your resume will stand out among a stack of colorless, plain-text, poorly written and poorly formatted resumes

You can download your resume in PDF format for emailing or printing

It is pre-formatted so no more fussing with margins

It "electro-magically" integrates with Google Docs

You can publish your resume online with a custom URL and send it as a link to interested employers

Because it exists online you no longer have to search through files on your hard drive trying to find your most recent version of your CV to update. This makes editing and updating a breeze.

Easily manage multiple VisualCV versions, personalized for each application

It's free, with an option for a premium upgrade that is worth using for a month or two during your job search

Here is a sample of my current PA CV/Resume created with VisualCV

The best part is that VisualCV is completely FREE.

Here is another version of my same resume on VisualCV created with a click of a button

There are dozens of stunning resume templates to choose from. It is as simple as clicking "change design" and wala!

Here is my original CV

This is not bad, but the question is: which one would you pick up and read?

One of the best parts of VisualCV is the fact that you know where your resume resides at all times.

A resume should be a living, breathing organism, not an old static document kept in Dropbox that you dust off when you decide to finally take the plunge and apply for a new job.

Be honest, how many opportunities have you passed up because of "all the work involved in applying?" I know I have let some wonderful opportunities pass me by.

Having a resume formatted and ready to go at the drop of a hat removes one of the biggest barriers to the physician assistant job search. Combine this with a pre-formatted cover letter, some high-quality resume paper (this is my favorite) and you have no more excuses.

You can create a free account on the VisualCV website and get started by clicking this link.
