Writing tips
- State your license body and Prometric result up top — OT roles in the Gulf are license-gated before anything else.
- Split adult rehab vs pediatric experience into separate sections; employers hire for one population.
- Use functional outcomes (ADL independence %, return-to-work rates), not session counts.
- A WFOT-recognized degree line saves the recruiter a verification step — say it explicitly.
