Massage Therapy Jobs
Resumes/Cover letters.
I can't tell you how many resumes I get at my office where there
are no
employees. The resumes are often without cover letters or any
mention of what the heck they are looking for or wanting from me. And
since I
don't hire anyone, but do have some space for subleasing occasionally, I
am really discouraged by the quality of professionalism of these massage
therapists.
While I don’t really want to go into writing resumes as there are many sources out there
like "How
to Write a Professional Resume" , I do want to mention a few things about them.
-
Be sure to include your mission or philosophy statement.
-
The old way of doing resumes of just listing your past experience is not very efficient. You need to write more about who you are than what you have done or where you have
worked.
-
Take your past experiences and write about how they will complement you as an employee.
-
Be sure to include a cover letter! Write about who you are and what you want and what your ideas are. You need to tell them what makes you different from everyone else out there. You need to convey to them that you are seriously interested in working there.
-
Above all what solution do you provide for people's problems?
-
If you are serious about finding a
job in massage therapy, be serious about finding the right one for you.
Don't just settle for one because they want you. Make sure you want to
work for them!
-
Networking is one of the best ways to
find a job. Ask your chiropractor or doctor about who they refer
people to. Investigate clinics or places that are opening up.
-
Be curious about everything.
-
If you have to settle for something
less while you wait for your ideal job, make sure you have time to still
look for your dream job, but do your best in the present moment. It
can only open doors for greater opportunities.
