Medical technologist resume questions
Where does my PRC licence go on a medical technologist resume?
Right under your objective, so the lab head sees it first. Write that you passed the Medical Technologists Licensure Examination and the month you passed.
What do I write if I haven't passed the licensure exam yet?
Medical technologists are licensed by the PRC, so most lab posts want the licence first. Until you pass the Medical Technologists Licensure Examination, lead with your degree and your hospital internship, and write the month you'll take the exam.
Should I put my birthday or a photo on it?
Leave your birthday off. Since 2016, Republic Act 10911 has made it unlawful for employers in the Philippines to require your age or birth date while you apply. Leave the photo off too, unless the job post asks for one.
Should I send it as a PDF or a Word file?
PDF, unless the job post asks for Word. A PDF looks the same on every screen. Put your name in the file name, like Erika-Panganiban-Resume.pdf.
