Physical Therapist Resume

A physical therapist's resume must present information quickly, clearly, and in a way that makes the experience relevant to the position in consideration. That means to have information condensed to its most powerful form.

Focus on the following areas :

• Skills
• Areas of expertise
• Certifications
• Accomplishments

Identify your goal :

You need to have a clear job target as you need to develop your resume. For example the job objective in your resume should state the job specification as a Physical Therapist with the keywords that are pertinent to the profile.

Here's an example of a profile for a registered physical therapist :

Qualifications Profile : Missouri-licensed RPT with five years of experience providing inpatient and outpatient rehabilitative services for infants, children, adults and geriatric patients. Honors graduate of AMA-approved BS program in physical therapy and MS degree in rehabilitative services. Additional credentials include BLS and CPR certifications. Team player with a reputation for excellent patient-communication skills and proven strengths managing high-volume caseloads in acute-care settings.

Summarize :

Summarize your strengths and key qualifications at the top half of the first page of the resume, under sections like 'Professional Profile' and 'Areas of Expertise'. List keywords that are pertinent to your career choice.

Emphasize on your achievements :

Describe your basic job responsibilities, followed by a list of achievements. Show quantified results of your work.

Include Keywords

Keywords are search terms used by employers to source through resume databases. Your resume should include physical therapy-related keywords to ensure that it is found in an electronic applicant search. Examples of keywords include job titles, degrees, certifications, professional organizations and skills/areas of specialty (e.g. patient assessment, muscle re-education, geriatrics). If a keyword has a widely used acronym, include both the abbreviated and spelled-out forms somewhere in your resume since an employer may use either during a search.
