With changes in our economy, staffing models, and increased healthcare needs stemming from a COVID-19 world, as an athletic trainer there's a chance you are looking for new or expanded opportunities this summer to advance your career. In this episode, Ryan and Stephanie unpack a number of key points pertaining to the process of applying for and interviewing for a new job, as well as the transition process from your "old" job to your "new"job.  We discuss the importance of branding yourself, especially through your resume and cover letter. How are you searching for opportunities?  Once you get that opportunities, how do you nail the interview?  And let's say you nail that interview, what should you do next after the interview? If you get offered the job, and accept, how do you make that transition professionally? Stephanie believes we're in a critical period for the athletic training profession as we work to expand our involvement in the healthcare world, and a big part of that is influencing others to give you that opportunity. Given this circumstance, our profession needs more and better leaders than ever before. We owe it to ourselves and those who come after us to reject complacency and accelerate growth.  Showcase this passion as you seek your next opportunity!
