How do I get an entry level medical imaging technologist job?
Start by completing your accredited program and obtaining ARRT certification or the relevant modality credential, since most entry level postings list these as minimum requirements. Highlighting clinical rotation hours, hands-on experience with specific equipment, and any internship work strengthens your application considerably. Tailoring your resume to the modality each employer focuses on, such as MRI, CT, or general radiography, also gives candidates a clear edge at this stage.
