Tips for Writing an Occupational Therapy Resume

In terms of your search for occupational therapist jobs, writing your resume is one of the most important time investments you can make. With only seconds to make a case for your candidacy, it helps to have a few tips. Read on to learn how to improve your resume.

Get rid of boring resume paper. Recruiters will receive hundreds of resumes on plain white and cream resume paper. Instead, choose a light gray or mute blue color to be unique while still keeping it professional.

Don't bury important accomplishments. If you just graduated from college, make sure to list your volunteer work or other important experiences in the first ¼ of the page. And for those more established in their careers, find ways to showcase your unique accomplishments. For example, have you helped improve the level of care provided to patients?

Make finding credentials easy for recruiters. This is the first item recruiters must check off their list. Put this information with the header at the top of the page.

Get away from task-oriented resumes. Instead, focus on how your actions improved results. For example, your work with developing treatment plans streamlined work for the entire office.
