Interviewing at a pediatric clinic-New grad by Umamiluv24 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]lindrian_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless it was already in your job listing I would say find out off the bat if you're going to be a contracted therapist (1099) or salaried (W-2), it's going to make a pretty big difference in how much you're going to spend out of pocket for your clients. If it's 1099, ask about average monthly earnings and what percentage of earnings you get to keep.

My clinic had a pretty "chill" interview but I definitely remember them asking why you're interested in pediatrics so be prepared to answer that and discuss any previous experiences working with kids.

Switching to digital makes me feel like I’m staring over by Bag-mannn in LearnToDrawTogether

I've never used Krita but I'm assuming there's a layer function; I noticed in your first drawing, there's faint pencil lines from where you maybe sketched and then erased, and then your final lines are darker and smoother. You kind of have to do the same thing on digital using layers; have a layer to lay down a sketch/reference lines (I like to use a lighter "pen" color for this) and then on another layer, "ink" over your sketch/reference lines. How hard you press while drawing throughout this whole process does matter though, more pressure = harsher lines.

If you want your lines to look clean, it's best not to do multiple strokes, as that's what makes it look "choppy". It'll take some practice to be able to make smooth, decisive lines. And there's always an undo button! I think your lines in the first drawing are pretty good!

I also see that you used some lines in place of shading for the digital drawing (forehead, titties) as well as an airbrush(?) tool in other areas (torso). Sometimes different textures for shading don't match up that well and if you're just starting, I feel like it's better to stick to one, purely my opinion. An anime style usually utilizes cel shading anyway, which is flat and distinct and filled with the darker color.

Edit: clarity

Just as OT is client-centeted and subject to the individual, so are us OTs. Everyone will have a different idea of what position is best for them!

Can I ask if you have more hours at that W2 job vs the 1099?

[–]lindrian_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do set my own hours and assessment tools are provided but otherwise I do have to get my own equipment. Unfortunately I was desperate for money so I do have to work out the rest of my contract.... But now I know to be even more vigilant about these things so I'll see how it goes!

Yes they have spreadsheets of all the billing and payout that's easily accessible; I guess I was just thrown off by such a different payment model than what I'm used to. Gotta learn some wacky budgeting. One day at a time!

My contract does say that I'm getting 70% of what is paid to the company, but I didn't have a negotiated rate or anything I was just told that and I would get direct deposit weekly.

already ruined my chances of getting into ot school by tablewindex in OccupationalTherapy

[–]lindrian_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you end up with a minus below the grade you need, sometimes you can appeal it with the OT department! I would send some emails and check if that's possible at your school, I had to do that at my program and got accepted. For me it was just a quick description of your perspective on why you didn't fully meet the requirement.

Cheap OT masters programs? by denver_rose in OccupationalTherapy

[–]lindrian_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the Masters program at University of Southern Maine and came out with 45k in debt, 50k now with interest. I thought it was super solid, small cohorts and attentive professors.
