This resume lays out one specialty from start to finish, moving from Midwife Assistant to Certified Nurse Midwife with prenatal, labor, birth and follow-up care all named in plain words. A reader can see the whole path without hunting for it.

The progression is easy to follow. The Midwife Assistant job at Northweat Gynecologist Clinic leads into the Certified Nurse Midwife job at the same clinic. The Midwifery Certification from University School of Medicine is dated 2008, the year the assistant job begins.

The duties cover the full care cycle. The Northweat Gynecologist Clinic bullets name pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum care, well-woman gynecology and family planning, which is the ground a Certified Nurse Midwife posting typically describes.

One real number carries weight. The claim of approximately 25 pregnant patients each month gives a reader a feel for caseload, and it is the only patient count anywhere on the page.

The weakness is the current job. The Ownwar Health Care Center entry is the most recent and has six bullets with no figures, so nobody can tell how many patients, deliveries or adolescents it covers. A line such as 'Maintained high standards of clinical care' asks the reader to take the claim on trust.

Start with the posting's own wording for the care it describes. Many Certified Nurse Midwife postings list prenatal, labor, postpartum and newborn care, plus documentation and family planning services. Mirror those phrases where the resume's work matches them, and move the four items under key skills, including neonatal resuscitation and analysing test results, up beside the career objective so they are seen early.

Next, give the current job the detail the older one already has. The Ownwar Health Care Center entry lists duties with no counts, so add the patient load, the number of deliveries or any other figure that is true. Foreground the collaboration with obstetricians and gynaecologists if the ad stresses teamwork. Foreground the adolescent counseling on teen pregnancy, STI/HIV transmission and sexual violence related injuries if the ad stresses community or youth health.

Finally, match the credentials block to what the ad asks for. If it names a degree level, a licence or specific software, list those you hold in plain view and leave out those you do not. Shorten the hobbies section and drop the birth date and nationality to make room for it.
