Think about what you want to do within the therapeutic recreation field. If you already have a population you prefer to work with, think about where you would want to work with them. For example, if you enjoy working with adults with disabilities, you may be interested in working for the VA helping war veterans. Also take into consideration where you are interviewing. How will this position help you reach your goal? If you're really not clear on your goals, make a timeline. You can start with thinking five years out and then pick a goal. It could be a place you want to work, or maybe you want to further your education by attending graduate school. Next, think backward to mark down the milestones it will take for you to get there. Companies love individuals who are driven and set out to achieve their goals. Show them you are a go-getter and willing to overcome the challenges ahead in order to reach your goals!
