Questions
Where should my PRC license go?
In a Licenses and Certifications section near the top, with the license number and its validity date. Put BLS and ACLS right after it.
Do I need a different resume for jobs abroad?
Keep the same facts. Overseas employers often ask for more detail on each unit, such as bed capacity and patient ratio, so be ready to add it.
I am newly licensed. What counts as experience?
