Physical Therapist Jobs: Building a Better Resume

With only seconds to make a first impression, every word in your resume needs to count. Making a few small changes can save your resume from the “do not call” pile and land you an interview. Read on to learn tips for building a better resume.

Tailor your career objectives to the industry. When applying for positions, stay away from generic resumes. Instead, tailor your resume to the specific industry. For example, if you're applying for a home care position, discuss your experience working with elderly patients.

Make a list of accomplishments. Before you start work on your resume, make a list of your accomplishments. Choose items that are measurable, and show the positive results of your work. These items should be worked into the first ¼ of your resume.

Ensure that qualifications are easy to spot. Before diving into reading your resume, the recruiter should be able to see your certifications and licensure information. Include this information next to your resume header.

Send your resume to a staffing firm. These companies read dozens of resumes each day making them a huge resource. Make sure to contact staffing firms that specialize in physical therapist jobs, like Clinical One.
