A golden tip for writing a medical clerk’s resume is to lead with your accomplishments and strengths.
Since employers usually skim a resume for 10-20 seconds, it is recommended to begin with, an impressive profile summary statement containing the whole overview of your resume.
This not only saves the employer’s time but also helps in creating a highly favorable impression right at the beginning, thus motivating the employer to continue reading the rest of the document.
In order to develop an impressive summary of your candidacy, use some strong adjectives and industry-specific buzz words. These will make you sound more professional and competent.
