Title: Resume Assignment
Course: PHT 2931 Trends in Physical Therapy > Section: Module 3

There are several formats for resumes and there are many varying opinions on what a good resume will look like and what it will contain.

1. This is a general link for suggestions about writing a resume. Something in here may be of interest to you (or you can use your own resources):

2. Write your own resume and post in a text or word document by clicking on Assignment 5.
Please make it as professional as possible, as you would if you were going to use it to apply for your first job as a PTA. (Hopefully, when you are done with it, you will be able to use it to apply to your first job as a PTA, if you wish.) When you get to the part where you are listing your job experiences as a physical therapist assistant, please write down the experiences that you hope to have by the end of your clinicals. Keep in mind that most employers now will want you to email your resume to them also – so make sure that any formatting you use will survive the emailing process.

ALSO KEEP IN MIND that future employers who want to hire you as a PTA will be much more interested in your recent clinical experiences as a SPTA than they will in what you did in high school so be sure to include any experience that you had (or expect to have) that may be pertinent to the PTA job that you want.
Incorporate the readings into your response.

Cite any references, outside of the text, that you use to develop your response. All answers must be substantive and contain at least 10 sentences. Please make sure that your answers are well-written, grammatically correct, and informative. Please refer to the assessment rubric for grading details and the course calendar for due date.

This assignment is worth 100 points.
