How to Answer

Think about all of the other recreational therapists who may be applying for the job. Consider the qualities you have in common. You're all certified, have some experience and a passion for assisting your patients in their recovery. Beyond the basic qualification, take some time to write down accomplishments and traits that exceed the basic responsibilities. Share qualities that will help you to be a better therapist. Your communication skills and knowledge about the demographic you serve will make you an asset. If you have any techniques or accomplishments that will stand out to the interviewer, share them!
