I am a RMT working in Edmonton, Alberta for the past 9 years. As a new grad I went on countless interviews, and even accepted a couple positions before finding a match for me. Unfortunately after 8 years in the same location, the building was sold and we had to move. A blessing as it turns out. I have recently opened out of my house and so far love it.

I really feel for you as a new grad; at least in my case I've had the experience before and know that certain things are really not for me. I decided to go with a room rental instead of a percent split; just signed the contract today. It is more work, but I've got a fair bit of experience on the clinical management side of things, and I know I can make it work. That may be an option for someone such as yourself if you don't mind the business management side of things. Best of luck to you! Hi Susan,

Wait unil the actual interviews. That is where the real fun beings. I'm a recent graduate and there are a lot of jobs out there. So it's good to look closely and be picky, because the job interviews will reflect the job posting usually. I went on a few amazing job interviews, but most were surprisingly insulting. Poor splits, messy record keeping, and interesting billing practices. I was surprised that clinic owners would suggest such things, are there really RMTs that would practice under these conditons? I hope not. Good luck by the way! Don’t worry Candice. Wait unil the actual interviews. That is where the real fun beings. I’m a recent graduate and there are a lot of jobs out there.
