Staying Current
To work on rehabilitation jobs, professionals not only need to keep their work history current, but many potential employers want to see very detailed updates, including the types of settings in which you’ve worked, case loads you’re accustomed to, and equipment you’re trained on and have experience using. Of course, your license needs to be up to date and in good standing, but if you work Traveling Therapist jobs, you may need to maintain licenses in many different states. Once you have been confirmed to the assignment, new employees need to submit the following:
