    Importance Of Being Marketable




• The purpose of this webinar is to give you tips to ways to
  make yourself more marketable to U.S. employers.
• In the current economic environment, with so many
  international candidates trying to come and work in the United
  States it is important to distinguish yourself in a job market
  filled with so many applicants.
• You can increase your chances for success in the U.S.
  healthcare market by sharpening your skills and making
  yourself more attractive to the client.
                                     Helping You



• To help you reach your goal of getting to the U.S. and securing a
  position, today we will discuss the following topics:
    – Resume Tips and Samples
    – Preferred Employment Experience
    – Interview Skills
      Develop An Impressive Resume



• The resume is one of the best ways to separate yourself from other
  candidates.
• It's true that employers hire people, not pieces of paper. On the
  other hand, an impressive resume that documents evidence of
  recent and relevant work experience, academic excellence,
  demonstrated leadership, continued professional development,
  personal initiative and well developed social skills will definitely get
  the attention of hiring managers.
• The key is to present written credentials that depict you as a
  healthcare professional who "stands out from the crowd" as an
  exceptionally qualified prospective hire.
                    General Resume Rules



• As a general rule, your resume should include all colleges you've
  attended after high school and all job experiences within the last 10
  years. Include dates of employment and education. Use until
  “present” to keep your resume fresh.
• The more information you provide will help to better assess your
  background. The most important information should be on the first
  page.
• Highlight special training and techniques in which you have taken
  classes.
• Exclude references, and personal information (marital status,
  children, religious affiliations).
  General Resume Rules Continued



• Keep updating your resume so that it represents all the current and
  latest information.
• U.S. employers are more accustomed to the term “internship” rather
  than volunteer.
• Include a summary or an objective statement in your resume. Think
  in terms of what an employer would want.
• Fill in the gaps of your work history if any. Provide explanations of
  periods working outside of your professional field. Be able to explain
  how you have kept your professional skills up-to-date.
• Keep your resume as simple as possible without including any crazy
  fonts and colors.
         Physical Therapy Resumes



• Mention what methods and modalities you have used with patients.
  This can include the use of light or something like acupressure and
  acupuncture. Strong manual skills are at a premium in the U.S.
• Include a list of the type of equipment you are familiar with, make
  sure you list both diagnostic and treatment machines.
• List certifications you have obtained or any training sessions you
  have attended. Remember these certifications and training
  sessions offer an assurance to employers that you are well qualified
  to perform certain job duties and tasks. These will help you stand
  out from other candidates!
• Two sample resumes will be posted on our website following
  this webinar.
                                                                             KG




                    Preferred Job Experience



• It is critically important to get current experience in your profession.
  Most clients want to know you are dedicated to your profession and
  that you are getting up to date experience.
• Work outside of the profession that you are interviewing for should
  not be highlighted or the focus.
• The most desired work experience for Physical Therapists would be:
            – Hospital (in and out patient)
            – Therapy Clinics
            – Home Health
                                           Volunteer



• If you are having a hard time getting a positions in one of the desired
  settings because of lack of job openings or experience you should
  try to internship/volunteer. Be ready to explain your situation to
  employers.
• Think of the internship/volunteer position as an opportunity to get
  your foot in the door. This is one of the best ways to get the inside
  track to a job.
• This is a way to gain valuable knowledge and experience and to
  stay involved in your profession.
      Quick Tips for Phone Interviews



1. Be On Time: Be by your telephone 20 minutes ahead of time. Mentally
   prepare for the interview. Make sure you have a reliable telephone
   connection away from loud noises and detractions.
2. Pay Attention: Be energetic and enthusiastic. Listen closely and answer
   the questions asked. Respond without cutting off the interviewer. Be sure
   that you sound confident when you reply. PT managers look for people who
   know what they are talking about and have the confidence to answer
   questions thoroughly. Don't ramble and don't wander off track. Answer the
   question and then wait for the interviewer's response.
3. Be Proactive: Be prepared with answers to potential questions.
4. Practice: Ask a family member or friend to give you a mock interview. This
   will help you to stay calm during the interview and speak articulately.
                 Additional Interview Tips



1. Do Research on the Position and Job in Advance: If possible
   visit the employers website. View the job or similar job postings.
2. Research the Geographic Area: Show that you are interested and
   knowledgeable about working in the US. Learn about the state, city.
   What is the region known for, sports teams, weather etc.
3. Be Articulate – Speak Clearly: One of the underlying purposes of
   the interview is to assess your communication skills.
4. Project Enthusiasm: Employers look for enthusiastic, up-beat,
   cheerful co-workers.
5. Never Ask About Money or Benefits on the First Interview.
