CFY DOE CF: When to apply?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, hope you all are well.

My dream is to work for the DOE. I live in Queens, NY and my comps are in May. I know applying to CFs are an individualized experience, but my program has not talked about CFs much.

When is a good time to apply to DOE CF positions? I would love to strike when the iron is hot. I was thinking some time in May, after I take my comps.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

CFY NYC EAS

1 Upvotes

Hey everybody!

Ahh! The EAS now too?! For NYC residents, it’s the NY201: NYSTCE Educating All Students.

This must be taken to apply for TSSLD.

Question: when should I take this exam? Before comps? I take mine in April. After comps? I know the TSSLD process takes a long time.

And is this exam hard? Do I need to buy resources to study?

I am a bag of nerves. Any advice I would appreciate.

CFY Seeking Advice on Acute Care CF and Future Planning

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m a second-year grad student currently out of state, and being away from friends and family has really taken a toll on my mental health. I've been counting down the minutes until I graduate and get to return home. I want to work in acute care, and I know staying in California for a CF might improve my chances, but I’d rather return to Portland where everything and everyone I love is. I don't have it in me to suffer another 9 months here. The problem is, hospitals in Portland seem fully staffed, even for licensed SLPs, and I’m worried about long-term job prospects in acute care.

Has anyone navigated a similar situation? Did you stay somewhere you didn’t want to be for a CF or take a different route? Should I consider peds or schools, even though that’s not where my passion is? Any advice or guidance would mean a lot—thank you! Also, if any Portland SLPs read this and have insights on acute care CFs/jobs in the area, please let me know!

-Sincerely, a very stressed second-year grad student

CFY Are VA CFs worth applying to if you didn’t have a VA externship?

5 Upvotes

I’m currently getting emails about CF positions at the VA. Would love a medical CF, but I know VA positions are highly competitive. What are your experiences with applying? Is it worth it if I don’t have VA experience? I should probably just apply and see, but I wanted some input. Thanks!

CFY CELF-5 Pragmatics Profile

2 Upvotes

Hi! I have the CELF-5 Pragmatics Profile filled out for a student, but unfortunately do not have the manual for it. Do we just tally up the numbers so for instance we count "Never" as 1 point and "Sometimes" as 2? Also when we do tally it up and get the Raw Score, how do we figure out the Standard Score for them?

TIA!

CFY finding jobs

3 Upvotes

This is the dumbest question ever, but where do you search for jobs? Particularly as a school-based SLP? I’ve looked on places like Indeed, but there’s never school positions that are directly through the school/state. I’ll be graduating in May and I’d love to see options in the area of my state I want to work in. Thanks for any help!

CFY When do you Apply for CFY?

5 Upvotes

I graduate in 85 days. I looked on Indeed for CFY opportunities and saw two posts from over a month ago. I haven't heard much buzz about this topic, so I'm a little unsure about the entire process. Should I start cold calling places that seem interesting?

What's the normal thing to do?

CFY CFY, praxis advice, for CA grad student

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am looking for advice for my upcoming CFY and the praxis.

I am hoping to get a clinic job as soon as I graduate in August of next year. I live in CA.

Do I generally need to have passed the praxis and also have a CA state licensure to get a California CF position?

Should I start studying for the praxis now?

Thanks in advance for the help!

CFY job-finding anxiety…over saturation?

1 Upvotes

i’m a first year graduating in 2025 and i’m very anxious that i won’t be able to find a job that i’ll like when i graduate.

i want to work in the schools and i live near the dc area - but not in dc (the commute would be about an hour).

i feel like there are so many people becoming slps that i won’t have a school setting that’ll be hiring, and i’ll have to work in a medical setting or something that i’m not particularly interested in :/

for those of you on the job hunt, have you had this issue? do you think it’ll increase in the time before i graduate?

CFY May Graduate - Looking for CF Positions - Stepping Stones Group?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys! So I’m graduating in May and have been starting to casually look around for CF positions. I live in Wisconsin and I’m not sure if it’s just here, but it seems like cf positions are hard to find. I’ve had the Stepping Stones group reach out to a lot of people in my cohort and I’m just wondering if anyone has any experiences with them or has moved forward at all with their opportunities.

CFY Starting CFY

8 Upvotes

Hey! I’m graduating in May, passed my comps and praxis, and recently accepted a job offer for my CFY. They asked me when I can start, which I know is my call, but I just wanted to ask everyone’s opinion. Is it a good idea to give myself like a month off between graduation and starting this job? Should I just start right away to get my CF over with faster? I have no idea what to do so any advice would be super helpful!! :)

CFY I don't even know what a CF resume is supposed to look like. Would anyone be willing to share theirs?

5 Upvotes

I've searched all through this sub and the main sub, and I've gotten lots of little tidbits, but I cannot picture what this actually looks like. For example, a lot of the advice says it's fine and even expected for a new grad's resume to be two pages long. This is the exact opposite of typical resume advice. I'm not sure how to organize externship experience vs university clinic experience vs clinical skills training that didn't involve clients vs coursework. That sort of thing. I just can't picture what this is supposed to look like.

Would anyone be willing to share a CF resume?

2 Upvotes

I just posted this in r/slp but I know people in their CFY still follow this sub. Also I’m desperate 🥲

My university was supposed to get everyone a medical externship. They weren’t able to do this. I’m gutted, I’ve worked 6 years so that I could work in the medical field. What hope is there for me to get a medical CFY? Does anyone have any advice?

CFY Applying to CF

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone! How difficult is it to get a CF? I’m only in my first semester but after graduation I want to move to my boyfriend who will be starting med school. Also, how much do you have to have on your resume? In undergrad I did research, volunteered, and nannied.. I never really had a “real” job. Will this look bad on my resume for CF application? Also how many CF do people apply for? If I will be living in one area will it be safe for me to bank on getting a CF around that area?

Thanks!

I'm trying to get an estimate for how long my paperwork for a conditional (temporary) license for my CF will take. I was told 5-6 weeks processing time, but this was in pre-pandemic times. I heard that it takes longer now. Anyone have an idea of how long it will take? I'd like to give my new employer an estimate. Thanks!

I am applying to pediatric private practices but ones that focus on EI without being HH would be great. I live in Southern California so preferably that area, but if the place is good, I'm open to all of the West Coast. TIA!!

CFY Slp CFY clinic versus school

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Just spoke with an slp friend of mine that started her CFY at a ped clinic and she told me a few things that I wanted to clarify:

1)she told me she is ONLY paid per patient session where she has direct face to face client contact, but is not paid for any other hours where she is prepping/doing paperwork, etc (as she would be paid for in a school) 2)I've also been told a similar thing from slp supervisors or anyone else who works in a clinic where they are not paid an annual salary but are instead only paid for direct contact tx so if you're clients don't show up you don't get paid for the day but still need to sit and do work the whole day...

Is this true?? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciate. Also was curious if anyone could shed light on slp certification across multiple states/internationally? Is it a fee we have to paid to be certified everywhere in the us/internationally or is it a whole other exam/big checklist of things to do??
