How to Write a Winning Resume

To compete in today's demanding and ever-changing work environment, your resume needs to be fine-tuned regularly so you can make a fast, targeted response to any job opportunity that arises. Here are some tips on how to write a winning resume:

• Start with a succinct, clearly stated career objective tailored to the particular job for which you are applying.

• Provide your educational history and details of training related to the position you are seeking.

• Use key words and phrases pertaining to the physical therapy or occupational therapy industry, including new practice methods or technology.

• Employment history should be logical and consistent. Make sure any gaps of more than one year between your jobs are clearly explained.

• Use action words, such as supervised, conducted, implemented, etc.

• List all professional societies, associations, or clubs of which you are a member

• Keep it short and concise, no more than two pages

• Double and triple check for grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors. When you're absolutely positive there are none, ask a colleague (or two) to proofread your resume once more.
