Physical Therapist Interviews

Physical Therapist Interview Questions

"Employers hiring physical therapists are looking for certified candidates who are knowledgeable about the human body and eager to improve their clients' conditions. In an interview, you may be tested on how you would go about providing treatment for particular physical conditions or how you would encourage reluctant patients. Employers want physical therapists who live by the values they instill in the clinic, and leading an active lifestyle will reassure them that you are the right candidate for the job. Any experience working in clinics or with the elderly is a plus. Employers may require you to have a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree if you do not already possess a master's or bachelor's degree in physical therapy."

Began with job description, hours of work, and description of rehab staffing. Several common "life experience" questions: Tell me about a time when you had conflict with a supervisor? Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond what was expected of you? Was there ever a time when a customer or client was dissatisfied and how did you remedy the situation? Then 2-3 situational and job specific questions: Would you be comfortable treating and working with a patient alone in an acute setting? What are some things you would look for or do before performing a patient evaluation? Ended with opportunity for me to ask questions.
