Getting the Most from Your Rehab Travel Career

Appropriately, most rehabilitation professionals exert tremendous focused effort on developing technical knowledge through education and on the job training. However, few take time at the outset of their careers to properly plan their professional lives.

• What are my primary career goals?
• What type of life do I want my career to support?
• What will travel or local contract assignments help me accomplish?
• Where should I look for the best opportunities?
• How do I choose reliable people and companies to work with?
• How can I build a professional network that works hard for me in helping me achieve my goals?
• What are some of the challenges I expect to face and how will I overcome them?
• Am I truly prepared to take my professional life ‘on the road’?
• How can I develop a continual process of discovery, experience, assessment of my progress and adjustment so that I am certain to achieve my goals?

Answering these and many more key questions can make all the difference between a career built on deliberate choices or one that has resulted from unexpected twists & turns.
