Finding a job, for a new grad
Hello, All,
I am a newly graduated physiotherapist from Montreal. I have done many research, and applied to so many different clinics right after my graduation.
Initially, I felt like finding a job would be easy, I am not too picky about the wage and am open to evening and weekend shifts. I saw plenty of ads out there, so I should at least be able to get one of those.
As time goes by, I realize that these old posts have been there forever, few people replied to my applications and new ones doesn't appear either.
Am I looking at the wrong places? What are the job engines you are using?
I would really like to hear some advice on this.
V.

Hi V,
The forum has been going since the 2000's so you should check on the listing date of any post. That said the jobs section of the forum is regularly cleaned for older posts too. The information in the Latest Physiotherapy Jobs section comes from the Latest Jobs on our main jobs pages here: www.physiobob.com so it's best to always look there first where we only show listings from the past 60 days.
regards
PB
Re: Finding a job, for a new grad
Hi V - I'm an older physio. Don't know what kind of job you are looking for. Have you been for any interviews yet? Have you had any jobs in the past? Did your physio school give you tips on finding a job after graduation? I graduated nearly 30 years ago. We were lucky - 80% of us were 'given' jobs after graduation in the public hospital sector - this was great experience - in many different clinical areas (inpatients, outpatients, rehab, community etc). Some people went straight into private clinic jobs too. I don't know about the job market where you are. Have any of your peers found jobs since graduation - can you get tips from them? While you are looking for a job, make sure you are also looking for Continuing Education courses out there in your fields of interest - and build up your skills on your CV. All the best!

Dear V,
If you are a new graduate from a Montreal school of Physiotherapy, was your training in English or French?
I find that in Canada, indeed.com is a widely used search engine that keeps a good track of listed Physiotherapy jobs.
As you know, a liscense in Quebec is granted completely differently from outside of Quebec. So if you are looking outside
Quebec, this might by why you are not getting responses.
Did you write the PCE?
