You will soon discover the many opportunities available to you as a masseuse once you have become certified. You can work at a doctor's or spa office, on a cruise line, or for an athletic team. One of the best benefits of working in a massage therapist's office is the possibility to start your own business and be self-employed. In 2010, more then half of US massage therapists were working for themselves. Many therapists work as part-time or on an appointment basis.

A number of factors are necessary to make a successful career as a massage therapist. It is important to first understand what it takes for a massage therapist to be successful. Then, you need to decide where you would like to go to school to get your formal training, where you will need to receive at least 500 hours of instruction.

You will not be doing any work at the desk, but you need to prepare your resume and cover letter for your interview. Your employer will be looking for a professional massage therapist that can effectively represent himself or herself in a nontraditional setting. A well-written letter can help show your communication skills which is an asset when working with diverse clients.
