Hello, welcome back to the podcast. Today, I'm teaching you how to write a professional career summary. Well, hello there, welcome back to the podcast. I don't know why I'm doing that today. Hello! Welcome back to the podcast. I hope you're well. This is Liam. I've just become American for the day. That's my real bad American accent. Hello. Okay, let's dive in. Today, we are talking all things how to write your professional career summary.
Now, I want to do two things with today. One, I want to teach you the framework, the career story arc framework, that I use to teach nurses how to write the professional career summary in a way that really self sells and markets your skill set to the panel without being bland and generic, and I'm going to give you some examples. I'm And those examples will also clearly show you how you should respond to why do you want to work here? The two are in relationship with each other.
The professional career summary becomes your response, if done well, to your, into your first interview question, which is typically the icebreaker. Why do you want to work here? Why did you choose Better Health Hospital? Insert here. So I'm going to do two things today. Tackle the professional career summary, give you the framework, and give you three examples. One at a graduate nurse level, one at a transition to specialty level, and then one at a clinical nurse consultant level.
And I want you to take from those what you can, and use them as examples to help you inform how you can tackle yours. And they're quite different in nature for the three of them. And then I want you to listen to them when I read them out and think about how these could really beautifully answer that first interview question, which most people absolutely car crash through. That first question usually is the most poorly answered question in the interview. And it's your moment.
It's your moment to show them why they should pick you. So let me dive in, without further ado, and get into the meat and bones of this. So, let me introduce you to the career story, the Nurse and Career Story Arc framework.
This is a framework that I have been finessing and honing and teaching, uh, with great results, over 500 nurses, and many more, because not only do the people that are working with me directly one-on-one use this, but the nurses that use it in our Nurse Application Bundle, which you can purchase from the show notes, by the way, those are DIY, uh, done-for-you templates, where you can plug-and-play this information, and also my online Nurse Career Course,
as well, which steps you through everything you need to do to apply, interview, and land your next nursing role across all levels of your career. But today, I'm gonna teach you it, and I'm gonna give you it, so you have no excuse to not have an incredible professional career summary.
So when we talk career summary, I'm talking about the top section of your resume, okay, maybe if you really worry about your cover letter, and you think, oh my goodness, I need to write a cover letter, and that's what they're gonna read first, and honestly, they will read the professional career summary first, they will skim and scan it, and they will pay attention to that, and see if it's, if you're actually aligned with what they're looking for in the organization.
So we want to make sure that we pack a punch there, knowing that we only have 7.4 seconds, probably even less, in this day and age, to be able to make a huge impact, and to get moving closer to being invited behind your professional career summary is to provide a snapshot. Now, notice I haven't talked about a professional objective, or professional aspiration. It should be a career summary.
We should be very high level, giving them a snapshot of what you've done, where you are now, where you want to be, and why they should pick you. At a very, very high level, that is its most basic form. But many of you, one, don't even have a professional career summary to have professional objectives or aspirations. It's very future focused, but doesn't sell them on where you've been and what you've done. And you know, if you listen to this podcast,
that we have to stop and reflect. That is part of our code of conduct, and you've got to do the same thing in your application. So, let me talk you through the framework. The five key pillars of this framework are, one, starting with your past. Where have you been? What have you done? Two, moving to the present. What are you doing right now, and why is that relevant? Three, is future aspirat- as- aspirations? Aspirations! Future aspirations, wear your hat.
God, I'm such a goon. And, highlighting your unique selling points is number four. Okay, so what makes you unique and special? Of course, I know you're unique and special. But we have to spell it out for the panel, because they don't know you like I know you. And number five, that sounds creepy, doesn't it? Number five is connect- connecting with your organisational values. And then throughout all of that, there is this sprinkling of topical industry related buzzwords and job specific buzzwords.
Okay, so let's start So, number one of the story arc framework is starting with your past. Where have you been? So we want to give them a beautiful high-level overview of where you've been. We summarise your background in a succinct way that focuses on the relevant key achievements and experiences specific to the job. We are not talking about all of the things that you've done all of the CPD We're just being very very Taylor focused and targeted.
This is where most people trip up is they go too broad or they'll go too specific and they do not speak directly to the role. So avoid that at all costs. We want to talk about and use data where we can throughout our professional career summary. So emphasising the duration and the different specialties or areas that you've worked in. You might have worked across lots of different countries or maybe different states and thinking about how we could frame and sell and market your unique experiences
from your past where you've been and what you've done. So an example of this is starting out with something like with over five years in acute nursing, acute care nursing and hands-on experience in emergency care dot, dot, dot. I'm really excited to apply for this role. Now, most of you start with I'm really excited to apply. Everybody's gonna do the same thing. So I want you to give yourself permission to be creative, right? Like as nurses, we are creative problem solvers.
We are not cookie cutter generic. Like we just all do the same thing. If you want to stand out, you have to colour outside the lines, uhm, especially in those jobs where there's going to be more applicants. So number one is starting with your past. Number two is moving to the present. So what are you doing right now?
Describing your current role, the main responsibilities that are high level, scattering in some buzzwords and some specific tailored words relevant to the job, highlighting recent accomplishments or achievements, accolades that you might have that are relevant. Again, if you're applying for an ED nursing role, but you're the, you know, the basketball volunteer cheerleader, video, that might not be super relevant. We don't need to put that in
there. But if you have been working in an acute setting and you've been really honing in your hemodynamic, you know, patient observation assessment skills, amazing. Let's talk about that there. This is often where people get tripped up is because they think, well, I'm not special, I'm not unique. You need to wipe that out of your brain. There is only one of you on this earth of 9 billion people. Only one of you.
I think there's 8 billion, 9 billion. So just be kind to yourself, allow yourself to regulate, and stop your brain from telling you you haven't done anything, and that you have nothing to offer. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the pull and the desire to apply for the role.
So once we've highlighted our recent accomplishments and our leadership, uhm, elements and all of the things that are specific to the job, okay, because if you're a grad, you might not be leadership, but they might be looking for something specific to graduate level roles, we must acknowledge that in our summary and show them why we're perfect.
and so an example here would be something along the lines of currently I'm a registered nurse at Better Health Hospital, where I deliver high-level, safe, quality, uhm, policy and procedure-guided, evidence-based nursing care to emergency patients. Now, did you notice in there, there was so many buzzwords?
I know. We're not just buzzwords stuffing our professional summary like a turkey on Christmas, but we do want to scatter them throughout as much as we can and be opportune with them where they land, right? So I'll give you examples of that as we go through this, but that's step number two. What are you doing now? Now, up until this point, like, maybe one to two, three sentences maximum. We're not writing a book here, we're not writing a story. You can always write what I call a shitty
first draft. Be kind to yourself, but it's just what I call it, just for playful sake. It's an SFD. Allow yourself to have an SFD. If you're struggling with this, just write it, get it on the page, and then we can curate and cut it back, okay? And you can get critical of it then, but just get it on the page. Now number three is future aspirations. Where are you headed? Start stating or talking about what your career goals and how they align with the position.
Now make sure here that you're honest, that you are not, you know, trying to get a job as a clinical nurse consultant, but your real goal is to start a business, right? We don't want to tell them that. If that is your goal, that's fine, you can keep it, but just maybe don't tell them that. Uhm, you want to make sure that you align your aspirations with the organisation. You don't have to do this in a kiss-ass way, you can just be honest about it, and I'll show you an example in a second.
end. We want to demonstrate our ambition and our commitment to growing within the organisation. This is where many people fail to do the research ahead of time when they're prepping their applications. They think, oh, I'm a nurse, like, they just need nurses, you know, they'll take anybody with a pulse. And my friend, that happens, I know it happens, I've sat on those panels, but you don't want to be hired just because you've got a pulse, right? That ain't good for anybody's
ego or mental health and wellbeing. Sure, you might just want a paycheck, but But ultimately, over time, that's a reflection of the organization. You want to be hired in a job where they really want you and they can see how they can support you and grow you as an individual. So we want to show them and do the research, that we've done our research ahead of time, and we show them how we align with where their organisation, their ward,
their department is headed. You can do this by looking at things like the organisation's website, you know, publications and the media around the organisation, looking at the 3, 5, 10 year vision, reviewing the strategic plan, you can even throw it through chatGPT and say review the strategic plan. And tell me, is there anything specific related to oncology that I should be aware of, that I could align my aspirations with?
You can do lots of things. There's no excuse to not go in and present a professional summary that is very specifically targeted and tailored to where you want to be. Right, and painting that picture for them is really actually quite clear and kind for the panel, because they're trying to map out, like,
can they see you there? So if you can see yourself there and you can show them what that looks like even if it's incorrect and even if you can't achieve what you want to achieve within the time frame, it doesn't matter. Helping them see the vision that you have for yourself will help them build belief in you. I hope that makes sense.
So here, we could talk about something like saying, yeah, I'm really eager to leverage my clinical expertise and to take on greater leadership responsibilities in a clinical nurse role within the emergency department to deliver exceptional high-quality nursing leadership and safe patient care. Okay? Now, number four is highlighting your unique selling point. Now, this is where most people get stuck and I want you to really
sit down and think about this. I want you to take a deep breath, allow yourself to regulate and then hear your brain saying, but you're not unique, special and different and I want you to then challenge that and go, okay, well, what is the thing that sets me apart? For example, for me, when I applied for jobs, I would talk about having international nursing experience. That's valuable. I've worked in three different countries.
That gives me perspective. That gives me great levels of awareness and insight into what works and what doesn't work. Right, I've worked across the NHS, the UK, uhm, Scotland, England, they're different, you know, they're not the same, uhm, Australia, a couple of states here and Fiji. That's a unique selling point compared to somebody that's just like, oh, I've worked in the same organisation my whole life. That's not a problem,
but notice the difference. We are competing whether you like it or not. We're competing with our applications. So we will want to find what that unique selling point is for you. For many graduate nurses, this is usually your professional experience prior to nursing. So many of you, regardless of whether you've come straight out of school into nursing, or whether you have been your second career nurse or third career nurse, and you're bringing your diverse wisdom and life skills to the industry,
it's all relevant. It's what makes you unique and special. And I'll give you some examples of what that looks like. But in the past, we've had people that have worked in Burger King or McDonald's Or Kmart, or Aldi, or Woolies or Kohl's. And their unique selling point is that they're experts in customer service. Right? Can you see how that could be true? And how is that relevant to nursing? Well, nursing is customer service. It's what we do every single day.
So they're able to leverage what they thought was not that significant as a unique selling point. Now, some of you have got three degrees, and you choose to leave them off your professional summary. relevant degrees. So I've worked with people in the past that did pharmacy in an international country. And they've come to Australia and they've retrained as a nurse. And they've chosen to leave that out. I'm like, why would you leave that
out? That is your unique selling point. What does that mean for you being a nurse? You're going to be the medication champion, that's for sure. But not only that, like, it shows your diverse skills and knowledge in medication pharmacy, understanding the pharmaceuticals and the medications that we use and the pathophysiology. That's what I was trying to get at. So, that is so relevant to any nursing role. Yeah? So we want to mention that.
Now, you might be somebody with a second career that's coming in and maybe you have had a lived life experience with somebody that's been in hospital for a prolonged period of time and you were the primary carer. That is a unique selling point. You've seen the ins and outs of the hospitals. You understand how the system works. You've spent more time in it than probably most nurses have spent in it
with a sick or a sick loved one. And now you're coming to the system to give back that is such a powerful story arc and remember story sells. Story sells the panel on why they should pick you. So you absolutely need to give yourself permission to find your unique selling point and stop telling yourself that you're not unique, okay? We all have something that we can offer. Now, for some of you, you might be coming in as a second career nurse.
I've had people in the past that have come from creative fashion industries. What the hell? That's amazing. Like, we love this. We love people coming into nursing. But it's like, okay, well, what can we bring from creative fashion industries? Well, . As we dove into it, you know, she had worked in real high-stress environments with very complex, challenging, creative individuals.
And she had developed that skill set of managing and leading complex people with real high stakes, high budget spends, right? And she was able to operate and lead a creative project. That is relevant to nursing because every day we see adversity. 3. We deal with complex, dysregulated human beings, patients, families and staff. And leaders and managers. And so, therefore, she brings that skill set to the workforce. Not only that, she's creative. She can bring her creative problem-solving skills.
And she might also look fabulous in scrubs every day because she's from the fashion industry, right? Like, I joke. But we want to find the unique selling point. I've also had people that have come in from, like, property management. Like, what you think, what's relevant from property management? But again, it's relationship building, rapport building, right? all of these quote-unquote self-sacrifices. Self-skills that we never want to talk about.
They're fundamental as nursing. Like, they're the basics that make you advanced. So, finding that unique selling point, and usually it comes from your, either your lived personal or your professional experience up until that point. And sharing that. For some of you, it will be the fact that you've already done the job in a backfill capacity that you're applying to. But now you just want it permanently, or you want to be considered for
the actual backfill position. So that's your unique selling point, because not everybody that's applying has done that. Can you see how that's true? So I want you to give yourself permission to focus in on those things. And even if you really struggle, and you think, nah, I really have nothing there. Like, I've not done anything in my life up until this point. I haven't worked. Like, I've just, I've just come to nursing. It's so rare. I've never heard of this. You just come to nursing,
and I've started my nursing career. Like, what is a specific skill that people command you on? What do people say you're so good at that? Like, it just comes so easy to you. or Raise your own levels of awareness, and go, well, what does come easy to me?
Like, I was chatting to a client this week, and she's just in this career pivot situation, and she's realising that her ability to consume data and research, and to regurgitate it in a simplified way, and to advocate on behalf of patients, is her super skill. The clinical stuff, the clinical like manual dexterity stuff, not her thing, but the research research, the data, the leadership, the advocacy, or it lights her up. So find that thing, there's always something, and pop it in there.
Okay, so 4 is highlighting your unique selling point. This will sell the panel on why they should pick you, and it will wake them up from the boring job of reading lots of applications, because they'll be like, this person's done something different, I love this, how cool. And then the fifth and final thing we're going to do is we're going to connect with the organizational vision and values. This is a non. You must tailor your application.
If you don't tailor anything else, you must at least tailor the vision and values and mention those in a kind of, like, non-cringy way at the end of your professional career summary, okay? So it can be just a simple one-liner, which I'm going to give you some examples of in a second, but we want to acknowledge that, and then be strategic with those words
throughout the rest of your resume. Okay, so you're not gonna keep writing this shit in the same vision and values, but you might drop them into your achievements and into your cover letter, and then when you go to the interview, you've already identified the vision and the values and some buzzwords, and you've already crafted a beautiful summary, so you've already one step ahead.
This is why if you do your resume and your cover letter and your selection criteria correctly, your interview becomes much easier. I wish more people knew this. People try to do it the other way
around. They throw a resume at the job and a cover letter and a selection criteria, And it's shit, but it gets them by and they get the internet interview and then they stress about the interview because they haven't done the groundwork of building the belief in themselves and seeing how amazing they are and positioning themselves as the high-quality hire that they're in a space of lacking down.
That makes total sense. Of course you're going to doubt yourself when you go to interview if you haven't done this work ahead of time, so I strongly encourage you to do this ahead of time. Now the final thing, once we've done 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, we want to sprinkle as many buzzwords and litter and scatter as many topical industry genres as related buzzwords as possible so that you are speaking the language of the panel. It's, this is again a non-negotiable.
You must, must, must do this and you're gonna feel like a bit of a, I always say you feel like a bit of a twat, it's a very British word, but that just means you'll feel a bit silly and you'll feel a bit silly because you don't speak like this. In written form it's easier to write like this but when you start talking like it, like I've demonstrated here today, you can feel a little ox again. Okay,
and here's what I want to tell you. If you feel awkward in the interview when you're speaking and dropping buzzwords and saying the things that are the moneymaker in the interview where the panel are taking their little checklist and not frantically writing, that's gonna get you the job. Okay, so don't shy away from this. It's e-ssential. Now, just to give you the career story arc framework again,
start with your past wherever you've been. Move to the present, future aspirations, highlight your unique selling points and connect with the organisational
values and then we scatter. And later and sprinkle industry topical buzzwords and buzzwords from the job ad and the job description and you call the manager because you've called the manager, you've asked them some questions, you've showed them interest because no one else does that but you're a high-performance nurse and you do that every single time for every job. Now, let me give you some examples. So, I'm gonna start off with an
incredible graduate nurse. I'm gonna do my best to keep them anonymous, uhm, because I want to protect people but I just need to pull it up so I can read it. I can't read because my eyes are bad. Okay, so professional career summary for a graduate nurse. As a passionate and driven future graduate nurse, I'm committed to utilizing my unique skill set to ensure I excel in perioperative
nursing in my upcoming graduate nursing career. With five years of diverse professional experience using my public health degree foundations to improve workplace well-being and organizational culture within the insurance sector, I established my passion for helping others overcome adversity and challenges in their health and well-being. Throughout Throughout my undergraduate degree, I've demonstrated my unwavering dedication.

My passion for ensuring high-quality, safe, and culturally sensitive healthcare provides an excellent foundation to utilize my effective therapeutic communication skills. to build timely, fast, psychologically safe rapport with my patients and their families. I aim to become an expert in perioperative nursing and eventually share my expertise with aspiring nurses as an educator mentor within Better Health Hospital.
My five years of experience working as a communication specialist in a professional insurance environment has allowed me to hone my verbal and non-verbal and written communication, conflict management, and teamwork skills to achieve positive outcomes personally and professionally. This experience of my public health education enabled me to effectively contribute to diverse and multidisciplinary teams and optimize a patient's hospital experience.
I am committed to building a sustainable long-term career as a nurse, dedicated to improving patient outcomes and advancing the nursing field, and I'm excited to embark on this chapter of my career within Better Health Hospital. My volunteer work reflects a strong sense of justice and respect for the diverse health needs of the community. I'm ready to bring my dedication, dual-degree skill set and passion for nursing to healthcare contributions.
contributing to the excellence of patient care and the advancement of nursing practice. It sounds a lot, right? Can you see there? We followed the story arc, right? We have the five key pillars. We've beautifully told them about our past. We've told them about where we are currently. We're a student nurse. We've told them about where we're headed, our aspirations to be educator. We've talked about our unique selling point very heavily
for this individual. And we've then connected to organization, vision and values. And we've Sprinkle this in many bites. Us words as we can throughout that. Your version of this will sound different. That is just one example. I don't want you to copy that verbatim, but use it as inspiration as to what yours could sound like. How would you tell your story? I love that summary on a got great results. Amazing. Okay, let's talk about transition to practice.
So transition to practice. Here we go. With one year of graduate nursing experience, primarily focused on emergency and surgical nursing and better health hospital, I'm eager to apply for the 0.8 FTE Thank you. Role within the emergency department. My passion for emergency nursing was ignited by my personal experience as a patient, which deepened my understanding of the critical importance of
timely, compassionate care. As a registered nurse, I've been consistently recognized for my strong, critical thinking, rapid assessment skills and ability to provide patient-centered care in high-pressure environments, whilst delivering evidence-based nursing care aligned with the national quality and safety
and healthcare standards. My rotations in the emergency department have honed my ability to manage acute and complex cases, respond effectively in time-sensitive situations, and collaborate seamlessly with multidisciplinary teams to deliver optimal patient outcomes.

I'm proud to contribute to Better Health Hospital's commitment to excellent compassion and teamwork, values I embody in my own daily practice. I'm dedicated to ongoing professional development. And actively seek out opportunities to enhance my emergency nursing skills and knowledge. I'm confident that my clinical experience, passion for emergency care, and commitment to patient advocacy make me a strong candidate
for the registered nurse position. And I look forward to the opportunity to continue to make a positive impact within Better Health Hospital. Again, what's great here is we're positioning this individual, we're clearly showing them where they've been, okay, what they've done up until this point, how it's aligned. and they are applying for an emergency visa. So that's their unique selling point. We've mentioned buzzwords galore.
We've offered their unique selling point. Absolutely everything in there. If we could do one thing more there, it probably would be talk more about the aspirations. We talked about it, but really for this individual, the value add here, and the reason why we didn't do that, is because they've already been an ED. And so it makes the panel's job easier because they've already been there.
They've been exposed to that environment. So, that becomes their unique selling point and that's why we like them. So that's a transition to nursing, like transition from graduate program into a specialty example of a summary. Hopefully you're seeing how easy this can be for you. Okay, now I'm going to give you one more and then we're going to wrap up. I'm going to have a little drink because I'm a bit dry reading all of these. Okay, so, let me pull up this beautiful C&C
one. Now if you're not at C&C level, don't you not, because this is still good. there's something in here for you. And if you're aspiring for this, then this is how you smash it and this is how you make it happen. So, professional summary for C&C, with over 30 years of diverse healthcare, like even that, straight away, I'm like, oh, 30 years. Wow, that's amazing. Sorry,
let me start over. With over 30 years of diverse healthcare and nursing clinical education and leadership experience, I am thrilled to apply for the clinical nurse consultant medical oncology position within Better Health Hospital. The combination of my unique nursing specialty experience and my acting and permanent clinical nursing roles provide me with a solid foundation to meet the needs of the position within the district.

from. My expertise in educational initiatives and mentorship underscores my dedication to fostering a culture of professional growth. With exceptional interpersonal abilities, I effectively collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and connect with patients and families, creating a supportive,
psychologically safe healthcare setting. I'm confident the unique combination of my 30-year nursing experience and most recent leadership growth will ensure I ease into the CNC role at Better Health Hospital with confidence and competence, contributing to a culture of excellence aligned with the core values of care, integrity, respect, excellence, and teamwork." Boom! That's a mic drop. That is, So friggin' good. I get excited about this shit, because that is just crystal clear.
Can you see how we have used the story arc there? Sorry for shouting, I'm sorry if I got a fright. Can you see how we started with this individual's past and that already packed a punch? Straight off the bat, I was hooked. It's kind of like TikTok or social media, like, ooh, I want to read more. Move to the present, what they're doing. Okay, they're working in a clinical nurse position right now. And also, we're jumping ahead here to number four,
but they highlighted their unique selling point. I've already done this. I've been in senior leadership levels before. You've got to remind the panel, pick me, pick me, pick me, without telling them, pick me, pick me, pick me. Future aspirations. I want to be the CNC. I want to inform the culture. I want to develop the team and the staff. Connecting with the organisation vision and values at the end and summarising it beautifully and using relevant buzzwords throughout the whole
summary. So that, my friend, is how you absolutely friggin' smash your professional career Never again will you wing your professional career summary or send out a non-tailored professional career summary in your resume to any job ever, period. It stops now. And as you can hopefully see, even in listening to me reading that out, can you imagine if the panel had said to me, Liam, for the CNC role, can you tell me a little bit more about yourself and why you chose
to apply for Better Health Hospital's CNC role? Boom! Same response. What I just read to you is a perfect example. Perfect response to that. Let's say they ask you, Liam, working at Better Health Hospital is a real, you know, exciting opportunity for you to develop and grow your career, and our values of care, integrity, respect, excellence, and teamwork are really important to us. Can you tell us how you've embodied those throughout your career? It's the same damn response.
Okay? I hope you can see this. I'm just going to repeat the same thing. I'm just going to give them more of the values. I would probably just start off with, over my 30 year career, See ya. I have embodied care, integrity, respect, excellence, and teamwork whilst working in clinical education leadership experience, like type roles, and then I just not read it verbatim, like a newsreader, but I'm going to use the same response.
Can you see how that's true? It doesn't matter what question they ask you for that icebreaker. It is just so important that you normalise it, neutralise it, and standardise your response, and you repurpose the work you've already done. Don't make it Don't make it prepping for interview harder than it needs to be. You've already got one response done when you smash your professional career
summary. Alrighty. So, I hope that's inspired you to go and dig out your resume and update and up-level your professional career summary. I would love, love, love to hear your summaries. You can send me a screenshot on Instagram at highperformancenursing, and I'll give you a little bit of feedback. If I get 3 million of them, I probably won't, but, you know, I'm sure most people won't do it. But if you want my eyes on that, take a screenshot.
Work through what I've taught you today, take a screenshot, and send it to me, and I'll give you some feedback. I absolutely love seeing and hearing nurses being able to sell and market themselves in a way that's aligned, in a way that makes it easy for the panel to hire you. Don't make it hard for them. You want to make it so easy for them that, like, you are the go-to candidate, and they're like,
