Re: Physical Therapist Position
Dear Mrs. White,
I am writing in response to your ad in the PT Times concerning an opening for a physical therapist at your facility.
As you see from my attached resume, I have 11 years of experience working with patients of all ages, including a number of professional sports figures whose return to full functioning at the soonest possible time was of the utmost importance.
My modus operandi includes the following steps:
- A thorough interview and examination of the patient to determine the underlying problems which need to be addressed
- Creating individualized treatment programs for each patient
- Providing treatment, exercises, and education
- Keeping records of patient progress and providing documentation if needed for employment (or unemployment benefits)
- Designed fitness programs for patients who, after recovery, wished to prevent future injury
I am interested in meeting you and your staff to discuss the position further.
Please be touch with me at 999-777-5555 or at [your email address].
Sincerely,
Dan Quarterback
