March 5, 2010, Newsletter Issue #37: Mastering the Physical Therapist Job Application

Tip of the Week

A physical therapist job application will determine if you land an interview or get put at the bottom of the resume stack. But before you break out your ball point pen, read on to learn a few tips for mastering the physical therapist job application.

Attach a resume. Make sure to attach a formal resume to every job application. While some companies will require the completion of a standard application, including a resume will further detail your experience.

Include letters of recommendation. If you’ve just graduated from college, include letters of recommendation from college professors and internship supervisors. This will provide an opportunity to showcase your abilities.

Avoid hand-writing the application. If the company provides an online application, make sure to type in the answers instead of hand writing. This will appear more professional and avoid embarrassing misspellings.

Deliver the physical therapist job application in person. If possible, stop by the hiring company’s human resources department and deliver the application. Ask if the hiring managers has a moment to discuss your application. The worst that can happen is the recruiter will say no. And in the best case scenario, you’ll land an informal interview.
