Questions

Which keywords should a Speech Therapist resume include?

Pull them from the specific job description first. Across most Speech Therapist postings the recurring terms are Speech assessment, Language therapy, Swallowing assessment, Articulation therapy, AAC devices, Paediatric intervention, plus tools such as Assessment tools, Therapy apps, EMR. ResumeScanner extracts the exact set from the JD you paste rather than relying on a generic list.

What match score is good for Speech Therapist roles?

Anything above 75% usually means your resume covers the required skills and the seniority band. Below 60% there is normally a real gap — missing Language therapy or Assessment tools experience — not just a wording problem. We show the reasoning behind the score so you can tell the two apart.

How do I quantify Speech Therapist experience?

Tie each bullet to one of intelligibility improvement, goal attainment, sessions to discharge. Even approximate figures beat none: reviewers read them as evidence you tracked outcomes.

Do MASLP certifications matter for this role?

They rarely replace experience, but they break ties. When MASLP appears in a JD's preferred list, our checker flags it as a missing keyword if your resume does not mention it.

Should I use a different resume for each Speech Therapist application?

Not a different resume — a re-aligned one. Titles vary (Speech Language Pathologist, SLP) and so do required tools. Re-running the check per JD takes seconds and normally surfaces two or three swaps worth making.
