Writing a Knockout CV
How do you stand out from the crowd and beat the competition to secure that dream new grad job (or placement)?
Writing a great CV and letter of application is a good place to start...
Given your first interaction (and first impression) is usually your potential employer reading these important documents.
Gone are the days of just copying and pasting something you found on the internet, tweaking a few lines and sending this off.
This is what 9 out of 10 physio's do...
And it is the reason why so many new grads fail to make any sort of career progress, particularly when they are first starting out.
In this week's podcast episode you will learn why you need to nail your 'pitch'...
To ensure your CV and letter of application actually get read...
And give yourself the best opportunity of getting offered that dream job interview!

Beating Imposter Syndrome
Imposter syndrome is not just something that happens when you first graduate...
You will have episodes throughout your career...
Regardless of the area you work or how senior you are.
The last big dose I had was when I fist went into camp with England Rugby back in 2021.
I had those same feeling of uncertainty, worry and apprehension like I had when I first graduated.
That said, imposter syndrome is likely to rear its head first and be the biggest challenge when you first start out...
And it is hard to beat...
Unless you know how!
Listen to this week's podcast episode to learn how to beat imposter syndrome and become the best version of your physio self!
