Education by far is the make or break in many cases when it comes to hiring a Speech Language Pathologist. Employers want to know how many credentials you can bring to their company- both prior employment and education. A lot of Speech Language Pathologists will list their hours and patient statistics and never show their daily trials and passions that make their job as an SLP so rewarding.
Keep in mind when sending your resume that you have a strong cover letter included (regardless if the job posting asks or not, you should have a cover letter). Avoid simple ‘mission statements’ and choose your words carefully. Cover your favorite areas of being an SLP, and ’sell’ your best qualities and experience. Show accomplishment and confidence.
With the ever-growing demand for Speech Language Patholigists, finding a great job in this industry should not be a problem. Having a well-thought out and strong resume will only help encourage the number of job interests. Good Luck!
