Work full time and then spend some of your downtime doing some pro bono rehab work for a local clinic or community center. You might be exhausted at the thought of giving up your free time, but the experience and goodwill earned will take you far in your career.

4. Cultivate razor sharp customer service abilities. Rehab therapy is all about the patient and your ability to interact with him or her. Hone your bedside manner and customer service skills and learn to be the consummate professional. This is important to any and every potential employer looking for rehabilitation professionals.
