Occupational Therapy is renowned nationwide for its remedial properties and rehabilitative functions. In a country where the economy is not at its most favourable, the number of available occupational therapy jobs is at an all time high. OT is becoming the popular choice of careers for students to gain insight into, and America is seeing this first hand. There are some cities in America that are more abundant with occupational therapy jobs than others.
Reasons behind this may possibly be that these particular cities have some of the most highly acclaimed colleges to study occupational therapy at, where professors will pass on listings of job opportunities to their students. It makes sense to keep the two operations close by to one another. Often Universities and colleges have apprenticeships and fieldwork exercises built into their curriculum. These institutions where practical work is carried out might take on a student who has performed especially well during their fieldwork exercises.
It could also just be a case of larger business conglomerates in these areas that are creating awareness amongst their employees, and introducing wellness into their working environments by keeping occupational therapy jobs within their workplaces.
The Top 5 States with the highest occurrence of occupational therapy jobs are:
- Texas
- California
- Florida
- Pennsylvania
- New Jersey
Further narrowed down by taking a closer inspection into each State mentioned, you’d find the most occupational therapy jobs in the following cities:
- Texas – Houston, with Dallas and Austin close behind
- California – Los Angeles. However, Sacramento has a huge work base for occupation therapy jobs, and San Diego and Long Beach are also worth mentioning in this department
- Florida – Tampa, followed closely by Panama
- Pennsylvania – Philadelphia is without a doubt the single largest provider of occupational therapy jobs in Pennsylvania.
- New Jersey – Newark. New Jersey must not be underestimated because of its size in comparison to other States. There is not one city in New Jersey that offers a higher level of available jobs than others. But when looking at New Jersey in it’s entirety and taking the size of this State into account, the increasing amount of available occupational therapy jobs is extremely prevalent
There is not a State in America that does not have occupational therapy employment on the increase. This can only mean good things for the wellbeing of the country.

Choosing trucking for a career is already a step towards maximizing your earning potential, and once you make that decision there are only 5 simple steps to insure that you will be well compensated for your hard work.
1.) Be prepared before applying for your first job as a truck driver.
Don’t receive your training from a company that provides training for new recruits. Instead, invest the time and money by attending a reputable training school to receive your special licenses and certification before searching for a job. This way, when you initially apply for a truck driving job, you will automatically receive a fatter paycheck if you have already completed training (as opposed to the ‘company sponsored training’).
2.) Complete as many training programs as possible.
The more certifications and licenses you acquire, the more work opportunities you will be qualified for. Having a choice of truck driving jobs gives you a choice of higher income potential.
3.) Seek out reputable trucking companies.
A truck driving job for a well known company, such as UPS or Mclane, will always pay more than a smaller company. The bigger the company name, the bigger your paycheck. Also, never settle into a company when there is a better paying opportunity out there. With any job, you should always be on the look out for a chance to “move up”.
4.) Invest in your own truck.
Despite the regular maintenance that comes with owning your own truck, being an owner operator gives you more freedom as a truck driver. You can ‘lease out your truck’, or you can use it yourself and work several truck driving jobs.
5.) Be flexible.
‘Local’ truck driving jobs are great because they allow you to return home nightly and still make a truckers income. But if you want the maximum income for a trucker, it’s the long haul jobs that pay the best. Although you’ll be gone for weeks at a time, you will be well compensated for your time.
Interstate truck driving jobs often involve a ‘team’, or two people that alternate shifts operating the same truck. It is not uncommon for a husband and wife to partner up for a long haul drive, and the longer you are gone on the road the less money you will spend. The longer that your route is, the bigger your income will be.

Though the image of being a trucker may not hold the same appeal as the image of being a lawyer or political figure (or, maybe they do…) but why would anybody want to be a truck driver?
For one, truck driving involves a lot more than just driving a truck. There are many choices, from the type of truck to drive to the cargo you haul. All of these choices lead to different types of trucking jobs. Of course, the best part of this is that any job as a truck driver pays well.
If you want a job that will support you and your family, you want a job that requires training and experience, like truck driving. There are many ups and downs to being a truck driver, many of which may surprise you!
Many married couples get into the career of truck driving together, as long haul trips will keep you from home for weeks at a time but working as a team (alternating driving and resting shifts) allows a couple to work together and not be apart, as well as enjoy the time on the road together.
Long haul trips are a great thing for anyone who enjoys the open road, some good music, and the experience of traveling to unknown territories. A truck driving job can offer you exciting opportunities you would not find with a regular 9 to 5 office job, or a 2nd shift factory job.
Since truck driving is a career that requires training, proper licensing and certification it is also a career that pays far better than any job which requires no prior experience. Furthermore, acquiring the proper licensing and certification that it takes to be a truck driver does not take a long time.
If you have a 5 year plan that involves getting into a successful career, choosing a truck driving job as your career path can put you on the right road within a year.
The options of being a truck driver are not limited to simply acquiring a license and driving a truck. There are different types of jobs that involve driving a truck, including local jobs that allow you to come home every night. Or, you can invest in your own truck and choose the “owner operator” path, which allows you to be your own boss, make your own decisions, and grow as an individual self employed business.
Qualifying yourself for a truck driving job means you will have a freedom that no other job can provide.

In less than a decade more than 75 million people have established a job search account at Monster.com. Millions more have used sites like Careerbuilder.com and Hotjobs.com or some other website dedicated to employment opportunities. With all these people searching no one wants to get lost in the crowd. Consider these five approaches to making your job search effective.
1. Focus the search with keywords. Don’t waste time and energy searching too wide a variety of job listings or applying for jobs you don’t want. Know what you are seeking then use keywords to focus your search.
2. Use multiple sites. Limiting your search to one job search website limits your opportunity. Employers don’t list on every available site; it isn’t cost effective. Some industries have their own career websites. Look around or consider a site like Indeed.com when you begin your search. Indeed.com and others search multiple job sites at the same time which may speed up your job search.
3. Market yourself professionally. Employers who list online screen applicants to weed out a large portion before they even start planning interviews. Don’t get eliminated for an unprofessional package. Prepare cover letter templates and resume ahead of time in plain text document so they can be read no matter what programs the employer is using. Have them reviewed and edited to avoid typos and errors. Establish an email address for your job search that is simple and professional. Some employers are just as savvy online as you are and can easily check your social networking page. Drunken photos, sexual innuendo (or worse) are not professional and may cost you the chance at a second look.
4. Follow directions listed in the job listing. Employers do not want to hire people who cannot follow instructions. Read the job listing and follow the instructions regarding what they are looking for and how they want that information. Many toss out any applicants who do not follow instructions without even glancing at the resume.
5. Apply for positions you are qualified for. Don’t waste time – yours or the employer’s. Know whether you are qualified and apply only if you meet the employer’s basic needs.
In order to make your online job search effective you should use the tools to your advantage. Start with these five simple rules and your search will yield more advantageous results.
