Landing your first PT job is a big milestone. Finding the right fit is another.

In our latest blog, we break down what new grads should know about the interview process, including looking for red flags and asking the questions that will help you discover what a clinic is all about.

This advice comes directly from two professionals who spend a lot of time on the other side of the interview table: Kenji Carp, PT, OCS, ATC, founder, owner, and clinical director at Cooperative Performance and Rehabilitation, and Craig Harbert, talent acquisition partner at MedStar Health.

They share what stands out, what holds candidates back, and how new grads can approach interviews with more clarity and confidence. If you are preparing for your first role or thinking about your next step, this is a great place to start.
