Resume Roast for Physical Therapists

Physical Therapist resumes get scanned for setting, caseload, and specialty certifications before anyone reads a philosophy of care. Outpatient ortho, acute care, home health: the setting decides the shortlist. A DPT who says improved patient outcomes without a number sounds like every other DPT. Say how many patients a day, what population, and what you are certified to treat.

What Gabe checks first on a Physical Therapist resume

Name your setting and daily caseload, like outpatient ortho, 14 patients a day. Setting match is the first cut a rehab director makes.
List specialty certifications such as OCS, manual therapy, or dry needling. They are shortcuts to the shortlist and cost one line each.
Mention documentation systems and productivity standards you have met. Directors staff around both, and most resumes make them guess.

Worth knowing

The claim that ATS systems auto-reject 75 percent of resumes traces to a 2012 marketing claim, not research. (traced to a 2012 vendor marketing claim)
