PTA Interview Questions and Answers

[@brewsaughmighty7024]

Sitting here getting ready to go into an interview...great vid!

[@stefanigross2694]

Just got accepted into the PTA school at my community college! I want to do traveling once I graduate, then maybe settle down somewhere closer to home! Love these vids!

[@AntonioSanson]

Stefani Gross awesome!!! That sounds like a good plan. Thanks for the support!

[@josephlee4237]

congrats!

Two years later.. How’s it going ?!

How do you answer this question: “if a supervisor asks you to do something outside of your duties, will you do it?”

[@edrash1]

24 and currently on first rotation during PTA school. This is a cool channel with informative videos that I wish would have been around when I was in the decision/application process. Keep it up brotha!

[@AntonioSanson]

edrash1 thanks a lot man! I’m going to be making more videos to cover all of what you will need to know in physical therapy so hopefully I can still give you some value in the future. Might do videos on continuing education and where should you work and so on!

[@edrash1]

Sounds good to me. I like the idea on making a video deciding which setting to work in, as that is my current dilemma. Also a video about how to prepare for the board exams would be valuable. Just some ideas!

[@AntonioSanson]

edrash1 good feedback, I’ll see what I can do lol!

[@laniluvlani96]

Really great videos on your channel ! I’m a 22 year old and have my PTA degree, I just started applying to jobs and my first interview didn’t go too well. This and a couple of other vids really helped. Have my second interview in a couple of days I’ve been prepping since last week. Thank you for the help.

[@AntonioSanson]

Thanks for the comment! That is awesome that your a pta and are looking for a job, Let me know how it goes and if you get hired!

[@treanthony9831]

Hey Jelani what facility are you currently working at? And how is it?

[@kajolbisht5660]

Thanks a lot, man!! these tips are really helpful for me. As I have an interview tomorrow, and I was really nervous like what kinda questions they are going to speak and what I should say, but after watching your video I felt so relaxed and happy. I hope I will definitely use these tips tomorrow.

[@DeEminence]

How was your interview. Any tips you can share about that

[@tinotendagwatidzo24]

think like a man gabby unions husband and proctor from power is the vibe I get from Antonio lol

[@jesmarieperez2399]

I really like your videos. I'm only 17 years old and I'm planning to become a PTA. Hopefully if I get into the program in the future I would like it.

[@AntonioSanson]

Jesmarie Perez yah hopefully you finish the program and like it! I know I like it, it’s a very easy going job in my experience. Keep me updated on how it goes!

[@jesmarieperez2399]

yeah :) I will and I signed up to take Physical therapy Aide. Hopefully I get into the program so that way I have a lit bit more of experience.

[@AntonioSanson]

Jesmarie Perez that would be really helpful. I had some classmates who were aids before they went into the program and they knew way more than I did and they had an advantage from their experience!

[@jesmarieperez2399]

yeah so I'll keep you updated :)

[@treanthony9831]

Jesmarie Perez did you go into the program?

[@MrSriphat07]

This is awesome QA. I'm from military background where I will be entering PTA program in a few months. My interview is short anwser "yes or no". Your is full of details and lively. Nicely done! sir.

[@AntonioSanson]

Good luck with the program, and let me know how it goes.

[@tommy11sixorozco9]

just had an interview for a PT tech job, hopefully something happens and I get it! I felt pretty good about it and she seemed very pleased

[@jasonhernandez3663]

Any advice on how to handle the interview?

[@tommy11sixorozco9]

@@jasonhernandez3663 be confident in your answers, know the role of the job and how YOU specifically can excel at it, know your strengths/weaknesses as well. most the questions she asked were typically interview questions

[@seanbaker1818]

Some of my questions as a new graduate are, how many patients are scheduled and expected to be treated together hour by hour by one therapist? What is the normal case load day to day? How is productivity measured at this company? What is the demographic for patients ie. neuro, ortho, acute care, etc? Will I be expected to travel from clinic to clinic in my area or will I be hired for a single location? Are there opportunities are provided for continuing education?

[@chriswill9228]

Man I come from not much as a young black guy in philly its been a rough upbringing i been doing home health for years but I wanted more so I studied and achieved my Ged and now I want to become a PTA I just came across your channel I subscribed and I love your upbeat attitude and your tips you give it means the world to me I want this to become my profession thank you for all your time and knowledge you share with us the people God bless you and God bless America 🇺🇸

[@okAngelface]

Congratulations on getting your ged. Having that and knowing what you want to do is a great start. Do not look back. Your past is behind you and doesn't define you. What you do today is what determines who you will become. You have the ability to be a PTA and continue your education and be the Physical Therapist. I believe in you. God bless 🙏

[@SugarbabyLA]

Loved your responses, I'm 26 and just now realizing that PTA might be the job for me. One of the questions I have been preparing for the entry to the PTA program is (if I'm asked), "What will you do if you don't make it into the PTA program?" I've had many jobs in the past and I've already graduated with a Bachelors in Music... which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the medical/health sciences fields. I've become a Realtor as well and had other jobs such as a Supervisor at TJMaxx and the Marketing Director of a supplement shop, ugh. I feel as if I'm pulled in so many directions I honestly wouldn't know how to answer this question... any advice? I would probably end up telling them I would apply for a Technician job and continue to work as a Realtor too, but that just doesn't seem impressive to me.

[@AntonioSanson]

Melody Myers well first of all I would just be honest with them because people respect that. Based on what you told me about your past experience I would say something like this, “I am a person who is motivated, so if I don’t get accepted into the program that is not going to stop me from trying again or keep pursuing a better career. Ive had other jobs in my past and some of them didn’t work out as well but I am persistent to keep trying until I succeed.” You seem to have potential in a lot of things! Keep pressing forward and you will do great. Let me know how your interview goes!

[@SugarbabyLA]

Hey Antonio thank you so much for replying to my comments!! That means a lot :) And I will let you know! Thank ya kindly!

[@jesmarieperez2399]

Heyy I got into the Physical therapy aide program 😃😃 I'm so exciteddd

[@jesmarieperez2399]

can You please add option of writing when You talk in video... because i am less familiar with this language.

[@Crystalom3]

Wow, that was a great interview! Very helpful.

[@tamiapiper]

i'm so glad I found this channel! i just finished my schooling to become an OTA/PTA and i have my first interview next week! this video definitely helped me to calm down a bit :)

[@nattgar]

Did you have an interview to get into PTA school? If so what kind of questions did they ask?

[@tamiapiper]

@@nattgar No I didn't.. I live in Canada and I believe the schooling to become an OTA/PTA is different. I just had to apply to the college and wait for the acceptance.

[@mishademidov6451]

Nice Q&A , it’s useful and I might use some ideas from here. Thanks!

[@AntonioSanson]

Misha Demidov yes use what you can! Thanks for the comment!

[@shizzle1903]

[@AntonioSanson]

Ayyyye that’s great to hear!

[@willhold1557]

Hey man my names William and I’m 19 years old . I used to be very active in sports and through that I’ve actually had three knee surgeries. Now that that’s over I’m out of high school and it’s been a few months and I really fell in love with the physical therapy work and I would love to become a PTA ! My only worry is in high school I didn’t get the best grades and I’m dyslexic , so it takes me longer to do schoolwork then others . Do you think this is something accomplishable for someone like me?

[@AntonioSanson]

will hold15 I definitely think this is possible for you man! My brother is dyslexic and he is now a business manager. I feel like through your experience you will have the motivation to accomplish the program! I believe you can do it man, it just takes hard work. But if you need help along the way see if your teachers will help you or find a tutor. And if there is anything I could help you with just let me know!

[@willhold1557]

Antonio Sanson thank you so much , I will give it everything I have thank you for the vote of confidence ! 😃

[@leeslyrose]

will hold15 YESSS!!! DONT LET THAT HOLD YOU BACK!!!! just apply yourself but experiences likes these are what make you stand out from the rest. Good luck 🤗🤗🤗

[@emilymeads7444]

Hey @willhold15 I’m a newly licensed PTA and I have dyslexia! I was in a 10 month accelerated PTA School and man it was tough but I had amazing friends and professors that encouraged me and did everything in their power to help me excel. Don’t be afraid of your disability embrace it even when it hinder you because you can and you will overcome it, keep that passion and believe that you can do it! I Believe in you! Hope all is well!

[@lorenareyes5746]

Hi Antonio Sanson you give great advise on your videos.. I'm not sure if you have some for entering the program any advice of what to study to pass the entrance exam thank you

[@AntonioSanson]

Lorena Reyes yah I can see if I can make a video about that, thanks for the recommendation!

[@jlaboreteful]

Cool! Thanks! All your videos were very helpful.

[@kobejva]

New to this channel and I’m soo glad I found it! I just enrolled at my local community college for the PTA program and doing my pre reqs and I know for a fact helping people and working for them is something I really wanna do. However I know it’s a really competitive program so I’m really nervous about being able to ACE everything even though I know with hard work I can The thing that makes me nervous is the inevitable interviews 3 years down the line because sometimes in interviews they throw curveballs at me and I’m not really sure how to get people to like me lol

[@AntonioSanson]

Hahaha I can totally relate, I don’t like interviews either lol they make me nervous

[@anabrianna123]

Hey Antonio, I am currently a under grad majoring in Kin (in my 3rd yr). I have been contemplating whether I want to continue in pursing a career in PT because I also like the idea of being a PTA. Any advice?

[@AntonioSanson]

Flores Brianna some of my classmates in my program had their bachelors in kin but they decided to go back to school to become a pta. So if that is what you are passionate about then sweet! Lol I’m gonna be making more videos covering the ins and outs of a physical therapist too so maybe that could help you decide as well if you want to do that instead of a pta. You’ve got options!

[@anabrianna123]

Antonio Sanson Thank you so much!

[@jaysophia1117]

Great video & quick answers thank you so much ! My interview is next week 🙏🏼

[@strangergranger10]

Hello there! This is my first time getting into your channel and I subscribed already. My original plan was taking PT but when I looking of every aspects of my life PTA will fits for me. I am currently taking ESL classes because my English is not enough, but I will be in college soon. How can I get into the PTA program? What should I do step by step?

[@AntonioSanson]

JM YABUT awesome man! Talk to the program director first, usually they will give you a sheet of all the classes you will need to take to become a PTA. Usually that sheet is broken down by semester to show you exactly what classes you need to take each semester.

[@strangergranger10]

Antonio Sanson thanks man!

[@YourFather9919]

Very Helpful, I have a question if u can help me understand it please. Can a neuro physiotherapist treat geriatric patients ? Or they are just restricted to treat patients with their field of study?

[@mikeazar3968]

thank you for the video Antonio, very helpful

[@rachelrambeau484]

Have been super nervous about the interview process and this has been SUPER helpful!! Thank you! Any chance you could do a video on what's crucial information/formatting for a PTA resume? Been struggling to find reliable resources on this and would trust your input.

[@AntonioSanson]

Good recommendation,, I’ll see in the future doin something like that

[@kaydrapowell7547]

That was so awesome

[@hajarmouchrif4325]

Thank you for your video it is really interests . please in your opinion what the answer I should answer about Imagine a patient accused you of a bad service. what would you do ?

[@AntonioSanson]

I would tell the employer that I never provide bad service so this would never happen to me... lol hahah I'm kidding. I would just try to understand what the patient is having an issue with so I can try to address the situation and improve my care to what the patient is looking for. It might just be a simple misunderstanding so hearing where the patient is coming from will help me know how to meet the patient's needs. I'm always open to feedback on how to provide better care. Something like that I would probably say.
