Author: Erin Holt August 27, 2024 Duration: 36:34

In a recent Instagram poll, Erin saw that 70% of practitioners want to run their own practice, while 30% do not. This week, Erin speaks to the 30% of practitioners who are looking to work for another company and offers some pointers from her perspective as someone in a position to hire. While credentials matter, being able to apply what you’ve learned and having the skillset to help your clients is non-negotiable. Leave this episode with tangible steps to approach a practice you'd like to work for.

The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy™, our 14-month functional nutrition certification program, opens for enrollment on September 1. We'd love to see your application!
