Another one of the advantages of working for a contract company is the networking ability you will develop. After having a Physical Therapy travel job for as many years as I have, you meet ALOT of other rehab professionals, not to mention doctors, nurses and social workers. Make a good impression and build relationships once, they last a long time. One time I ran into a Social worker that I had worked with years before, and whose mother needed rehab. It was a little embarrassing(and satisfying) when she demanded that her mother be treated by the new contract therapist instead of the regular staff. It sure caught the supervisors eye!
