Resume gap analysis for Occupational Therapist

Functional assessment depth is stated, never evidenced

Most Occupational Therapist resumes list Functional assessment as a bullet in a skills bar. Job descriptions ask what you built with it. Attach Functional assessment to one project, its scope, and the result.

No numbers against independence scores

Hiring managers for this role scan for independence scores and goal attainment rate. A resume without those figures reads as an occupational therapist who was present, not one who moved anything.

Assessment kits listed, EMR missing

JDs for this role usually pair Assessment kits with EMR. Naming only one signals partial coverage of the workflow and drops your keyword match.

Activity analysis and Assistive device training buried under duties

Activity analysis and Assistive device training are core screening keywords for Occupational Therapist openings, but they often sit at the bottom of a paragraph. An ATS weights the first lines of each role far more heavily.

Scope of ownership is unclear

"assess functional independence and design therapy plans" means something different at a 5-person team and a 500-person org. State team size, budget, volume, or user count so the reviewer can place your Paediatric therapy experience.

Certifications and qualifications not surfaced

BOT, MOT, AIOTA Registration appear in the preferred section of most Occupational Therapist JDs. If you hold one, it belongs near the top, not in a trailing "Others" line.
