Writing tips
- Gulf employers filter by license first — put SCFHS/DHA registration and Prometric status in your headline.
- Name the clinical settings (ICU, renal, bariatric) — 'dietitian' alone is too generic to match ATS filters.
- Quantify outcomes: patients/day, program completion rates, average weight/HbA1c changes.
- If you hold CDR (RD/RDN) or international credentials, list them beside your local license — dual credentials jump the queue.
