Job hunting as a chiropractor is a skill in itself. Here’s what NOT to do if you want to stand out for the right reasons.
1. Using a Generic Resume
Customizing your resume for each job—especially the technique styles and patient demographics—is essential.
2. Ignoring Soft Skills
You’re not just adjusting spines—you’re building relationships. Employers value communication and bedside manner just as much as technique.
3. Not Asking About Mentorship
Assuming training will be provided is a mistake. Clarify how hands-on the onboarding process will be.
4. Overlooking the Fine Print
Common contract issues include:
- Overly restrictive non-competes
- Low base pay with unrealistic bonus targets
- Limited PTO or CE reimbursement
5. Skipping the Follow-Up
Always send a thank-you email. It shows professionalism and keeps you top of mind.
