Finding the perfect fit in a California school setting can feel like navigating a maze without a map. Whether you are a clinical fellow or a seasoned clinician, understanding the nuances between direct district hire and contract positions is essential for career satisfaction. This lighthearted, interactive panel brings together experts from the field, including district-hired employees, a former district Lead SLP, and SLPs from CDE-certified Non-Public Agencies.
We will strip away the formal jargon to discuss what actually makes a resume stand out in a stack of hundreds, how to sniff out the “real” culture of a school during your research, and how to tackle interview questions without the robotic script. Expect a candid “fireside” vibe where we debunk hiring myths and share the “green flags” and “red flags” to look for in your next school-based position. Panelists are to answer questions to help inform SLPs interested in school-based practice, not to promote one option over another.
