Questions

Which keywords should an Occupational Therapist resume include?

Pull them from the specific job description first. Across most Occupational Therapist postings the recurring terms are Functional assessment, Activity analysis, Assistive device training, Paediatric therapy, Sensory integration, Home programme design, plus tools such as Assessment kits, EMR, Adaptive equipment. ResumeScanner extracts the exact set from the JD you paste rather than relying on a generic list.

What match score is good for Occupational Therapist roles?

Anything above 75% usually means your resume covers the required skills and the seniority band. Below 60% there is normally a real gap — missing Activity analysis or Assessment kits experience — not just a wording problem. We show the reasoning behind the score so you can tell the two apart.

How do I quantify Occupational Therapist experience?

Tie each bullet to one of independence scores, goal attainment rate, sessions to discharge. Even approximate figures beat none: reviewers read them as evidence you tracked outcomes.

Do BOT certifications matter for this role?

They rarely replace experience, but they break ties. When BOT appears in a JD's preferred list, our checker flags it as a missing keyword if your resume does not mention it.

Should I use a different resume for each Occupational Therapist application?

Not a different resume — a re-aligned one. Titles vary (OT, Rehabilitation Specialist) and so do required tools. Re-running the check per JD takes seconds and normally surfaces two or three swaps worth making.
