Why This Matters

Your first job shapes more than your resume.

Most new grads take the first offer that comes along, without a clear sense of what a genuinely good first job looks like. It's an understandable gap: nothing in school teaches you how to evaluate a workplace, negotiate expectations, or recognize when a "good enough" job is quietly holding you back.

This webinar walks through what actually matters in those first few years, so you can choose a setting that helps you grow instead of one you have to recover from.

What You'll Learn:

Five things every new PT should walk in knowing.

  • How to evaluate a job offer
    • Beyond salary - mentorship, caseload, and support structures that predict your growth.
  • Warning signs to catch early
    • The subtle red flags that signal a workplace isn't as good as it seemed on day one.
  • Knowing when it's time to leave
    • How to tell the difference between a rough patch and a role you should exit.
  • Leading before you have a title
    • Early ways to build trust and influence, long before "leadership" is your job.
  • Setting goals that compound
    • A simple framework for career goals that keep building on each other over time.
