Really want the job? Tips for getting an interview:

  • We're very invested in finding the right people for our practice. Be sure to carefully review this job post and our website as there's a lot of information there to help you discern if we're a good fit.
  • We read cover letters first. Candidates that don't submit a cover letter don't have much of a chance in getting hired with us. We really, really, (really) value a thoughtful cover letter, so put some effort into writing an original one. Be sure to show us your commitment to EBPs and how you use them. Don't simply list various treatment modalities, instead, describe how you use EBPs with your ideal client. We want to know who you do your best work with and what kind of specialization you'll bring to the practice. We want to know what you're passionate about and what's unique about you.
  • We have an eye for detail and notice others who do too. Include something specific from our website and/or our job ad in your cover letter that lets us know that you did your homework to determine that we're a good fit for each other (did we mention how much we look at cover letters?).
  • We take extra note of candidates who go above and beyond the minimum application requirements. We strongly recommend submitting the optional materials (blog & report). Never written a blog before? No problem. Give it your best shot and showcase a sample of what you might like to write about.
