I'm trying to gain relevant experience to improve my resume and future applications to MDs. Everything requires a cover letter or curriculum vitae, and I'm really struggling to fill these out. I transferred in from a community college. I worked in a restaurant for several years. I have no previous lab experience (other than lower div course labs) or hospital experience.
I don't know how to write these. I am not finding adequate resources out there to help those of us with little experience to use. Every template is rich with experience; they list multiple languages, tutoring/teaching, seminars, publications, awards, etc. I have none of this. I keep wanting to give up because my CV or cover letter would be sparse. I don't know how I could possibly fill a page. But I absolutely need to begin getting this type of experience. I need to send out several CVs soon, but all I can think to include is a list of science courses and labs. My GPA right now is a mere 3.5 (first quarter).
I'm incredibly frustrated and have been stressing through the entire winter break. I had initially felt optimistic that I could begin this next quarter with a position or two..
