John John Petrizzo PT, DPT, CSCS: I think that having good people skills will become increasingly important in our field in the next few years. You can be knowledgeable, but if you can't communicate what you know well to others, it is going to hurt your chances of being successful.
John John Petrizzo PT, DPT, CSCS: I would encourage a graduate beginning their career in the field to be open to new opportunities as you never know where they might take you.
John John Petrizzo PT, DPT, CSCS: There are several things you can do to maximize your salary potential when starting your career in the field. First, I would suggest taking advantage of the fact that there are a lot of job opportunities out there right now. I think it is certainly possible for new graduates to get multiple job offers, so they should take the time to make sure the job they select is the right fit for them. Additionally, for motivated individuals, it is not uncommon for new graduates to be able to work multiple jobs. Personally, I have always maintained some form of part-time work in addition to my full-time job. I do so because I enjoy it, and it allows me to live a little bit more comfortably than if I was reliant on a single source of income. Lastly, I would encourage new graduates to get a good quality certification from a nationally-recognized organization such as the ACSM or the NSCA.
