Try Home Health! It’s growing and it allows you good work life balance and a flexible work schedule.
Look into healthcare IT. EHR companies will hire you fast.
What does change careers mean? A different setting as a PT or a different position not working as a PT at all?
Leaving physical therapy altogether
I think you have to convey to the employer your willingness to learn and work hard. I am in a similar boat. I am trying to get a position in subacute care, I feel a big reluctance to hire me, because I haven’t worked in that setting. I got laid off for Covid and I don’t want to return to a private practice. Also dealing with ageism I think.
Every PT looks good on their resume, everyone looks the same. Your interview is what is going to set you apart. You’ve got to sell yourself. Be confident in your skills. Everyone is not out to get you. Don’t make assumptions about other companies. Your perception and what is actually happening could be two completely different things. If you are going into an interview or negotiations thinking negative things about that company, those thoughts are only going to fester.
Difficulty finding open positions in other settings or you think places won’t hire you because of your experience?
Don’t sell yourself short. Specific training can and needs to be done for each setting and your employer will provide that.
