Occupational therapy? Whats that? The question is inevitable. Most Occupational Therapists are continuously asked to explain what it is that they do. After all, the word "occupation" suggests a job, or a profession, so the title itself can be misleading.

Certainly an Occupational Therapist might prepare a patient to function in a work environment, but the broader focus of OT is on any activity, or occupation, that is meaningful to an individual or necessary to live a full, independent life.

A job resume is a concise document presenting your most relevant credentials for employment. It is meant, just like a cover letter, to get you an interview (not a job). When you start devising your resume, you must keep one very important thing in mind: on average, an employer will spend less than one minute to read through your resume, which means it must not be longer than one page. Of course, the style and length of a resume differs from country to country and from company to company. East Europeans and Americans tend to be more concise than applicants in Western Europe who would gladly fill over two pages with (unimportant) detailed information. There is a good explanation for the uselessness of...
