Hello,

Sociology is a study of society, human social behaviour, pattern of social and relationship, social interaction and culture that surrounded every day life. So this is called sociology.

Now come to the physiotherapy. Its a treatment of disease, injury, deformity by physical methods such as massage, heart treatment and excercise rather than by drugs or surgery.

So some times sociology helps to physiotherapy. If the physiotherapist is socially appropriate, he or she will automatically feel the patients discomfort and will know better. It will make the doctor socially efficient and hence dealing with patients, getting to know their pain and healing them becomes more easier. This is the main benefits of sociology in physiotherapist.

All the best.

But official hours usually is between 9 to 5.

I hope thai helps.

All the best.

Hello sakti,

You have enough time for personal interview and micro presentation,

If you really want to excel and crack the interview,

You need to work on your aptitude, communication and your knowledge.

It will be better if you first find out some tutorials on the internet to gather some information about latest questions asked.

Follow some good psychological magazines and read out some research papers related to your field.

They always help you out, also study some case studies,

Most of the time interviewers will give you some case study to solve, hence practice them before the exams.

Take some fresh topics for your micro presentation and read about your material so that you can explain it in depth.

I hope it helps

Best of luck for your exam
