Brittany Contreras and I have been doing locum assignments together for years and love helping midwives find great locum contracts and advocate for what is best for them! We spent today's chat going over how you make yourself stand out when there is an assignment you really want. Even though there aren't very many midwives making locum contracts, there also aren't as many assignments available like for nurses and doctors. We go into certifications, skills, and resume updates to really stand out for the best pay and terms you can get for your first or next midwife locum position!
