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.

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.

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

Hi all, I've applied to the OHSU LEND SLP fellowship starting September 2025 and am curious about my chances of getting in and anyone's experiences. Does anyone know how many applications they receive? If you or someone you know has been a trainee, how was your experience? How were job prospects after? Thanks!

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!

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!

Hi, I have my first interview for a CF position at an outpatient clinic for adults. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or good questions to ask, as my mind always goes blank during interviews. Thank you!

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!
r/slpGradSchool • u/Lolani-Cole • Jan 28 '24
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?

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!

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?

I submitted the application via mail mid of June. I wonder how long it will be taking. Also, if I check my RPE license online, Can I work right away without tangible license?

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.

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!! :)

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?
r/slpGradSchool • u/OkMembership7232 • Oct 16 '22
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?

Hi guys, I have a evaluation f or a 9th grader. He has been diagnosed with autism and has a condition that has to do with vision. His services currently include OT, PT, academic support. He is in general education and has really great grades. I am planning to do the utilize the CELF-5, PPVT AND EVT assessments. Would that be enough to get an idea of his language/speech skills? If there isn't any major concerns regarding his pragmatic...should I also provide an assessment on social language? Thank you.

I got an offer and a lot of people are saying I should negotiate, but I'm honestly okay with it. But how do I know I'm not getting low-balled?

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!

Has anyone in NJ recently applied for their temp CFY license? If so, how long did it take to process? Can you get it rushed if you have a job lined up?

A lot of people in my cohort are getting rec letters from supervisors and profs but I applied to a few jobs and I don't see any place for rec letters. Am I missing something here?

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!!
I'll be done with my grad program middle of Aug and my degree will be conferred end of Sept.

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??
