Just wanted to ask you few questions I seem to be stuck with:

1. about letters supporting your experience/competencies - I got my peers, seniors to write letters confirming my experience and competency. On the board's website there is a form 'validation of work history' that has to be fiiled in by referee and posted straight to NZ - does it include only my employers/managers or did you use it to prove any other activities/competencies? did you use the form at all?

2. did you reference few different competencies with the same paper/letter e.g. if one senior writes about your communication skills, time management, research and so on in one letter I presume I can use it to prove more then one competency?

3. how did you start writing the portfolio. did you use table format? would you be so kind to give an example of one of the sub competencies how you wrote it?

thanks for your effort
W.
Hi

1. yes i used it and i used it for various rotations eg neuro, ortho etc

2. yes I numbered the letter and kept ref to letter 1

3. I made a front page with my ref numbered and kept referring to this. for example 1. letter from neuro rotation 2. CV 3. inservice training on cervical spine. I used this then in my portfolio to reference, eg blah blah (pg 1 : number 3). I have already given as example on how i wrote it, above.
