Experience is widely overrated. Yet 99% of employers use experience as a hard-stick to try employ the best physio’s. This makes zero sense. Surely the best physio’s (the ones that can actually get patient’s better)… Should get the best jobs… Not the physio’s that have the most experience, right? This would make more sense, yet in reality it is not how things work… And is the main reason so many new grads, like you, struggle to get their foot in the door when they first start out. If you have little experience how then can you get around this big career barrier? Listen to this week’s podcast episode to learn more!!! Enjoy the show! Andy Barker The New Grad Physio Mentor PS.
