How To Nail An Orthopedic Physical Therapy Job Interview

By Marjorie Richards


If you want to be a therapist, then you better send in your application for a clinic nearby. There are surely clinics which will need the skills you can offer. When you are better at orthopedic physical therapy Portland, then what you should do is send in your resume for this job. You have to prepare other requirements aside from the resume too.

When the potential employers find your resume appealing, then you will be scheduled to attend for a job interview. This is when you will be doing your pitch to get the job. It is the time for employers to observe you well. If you want the job, then here are the things you can do to nail the job interview scheduled for you.

One of the things you can do for that is to arrive at the venue 15 minutes earlier. Doing so will give you some time to check your appearance, visit the restroom, or compose yourself. You can also review your notes as preparation. If not that, you can use the said time to fill out the required paperwork for the said interview.

During the interview, you should have the presence of mind for it. You must carefully listen to the question asked of you and answer them as thoroughly as you can. You should avoid stumbling words and even conversational slang since these are forbidden from business conversations. Sound confident and do not wander off track.

The question where the interviewer asks you more about yourself really means you should tell the interviewer what personality traits and background information you have that can establish you in this field. This is the question where you can build up your qualifications for the position you are applying for.

Another question asked from you would be regarding your strengths as well as weaknesses. When it comes to strengths, there should be no problems in answering at least three. If it is the other one, then avoid doing a character assassination. Instead, you should prepare a few quasi-strength you can disguise as your weakness.

When the question the interviewer asks you is about what you will be doing in five years, then that just means that he or she is probing you about how long you might want to stick around. If you are thinking of resigning in three years or you might have other plans in the future, you better keep that to yourself. State a future that is in line with the PT job you are aiming for.

You must prepare a few examples for your work successes. You will be retelling these stories to the interviewer, after all. With these stories, the said employer can determine how you deal with particular challenges. Your experiences for the work can be measured when you can provide the examples for these.

Confrontational interviews can also happen at times. However, you should not be shocked at such interviews. After all, the said interviews are meant to weed out the candidates who are not capable of reacting well to confrontation or pressure. You must maintain a professional demeanor, as if nothing unusual is happening. You must be cool and confident in front of the interviewer.
