I just published an article about CV writing when you have several years of experience in nursing, (equally applicable to midwifery!) and you’re trying to compose a CV that doesn’t read like War and Peace. It’s a tricky one because you want to make sure you’ve given enough information that the employer will offer you an interview, but not so much that your CV begins with your first job when you were 16 years old!
There are 7 ‘Golden Rule’ points to follow when writing a nursing or midwifery CV (check out the article link below for full details), and as long as you follow these your CV can be whatever you want it to be. When you’re thinking about the layout, you should always be thinking “How can this work for me?”. If you want to put your current job and responsibilities at the top, underneath your name and contact details, because that’s what you feel would be most relevant, then go for it.
Effective CV writing is all about giving the employer the relevant information about your experience, qualifications, professional development and employment history so they can discover you are the ideal candidate for the job.
