Resume gap analysis for Speech Therapist
Speech assessment depth is stated, never evidenced
Most Speech Therapist resumes list Speech assessment as a bullet in a skills bar. Job descriptions ask what you built with it. Attach Speech assessment to one project, its scope, and the result.
No numbers against intelligibility improvement
Hiring managers for this role scan for intelligibility improvement and goal attainment. A resume without those figures reads as a speech therapist who was present, not one who moved anything.
Assessment tools listed, Therapy apps missing
JDs for this role usually pair Assessment tools with Therapy apps. Naming only one signals partial coverage of the workflow and drops your keyword match.
Language therapy and Swallowing assessment buried under duties
Language therapy and Swallowing assessment are core screening keywords for Speech Therapist openings, but they often sit at the bottom of a paragraph. An ATS weights the first lines of each role far more heavily.
Scope of ownership is unclear
"assess and treat speech, language and swallowing disorders" means something different at a 5-person team and a 500-person org. State team size, budget, volume, or user count so the reviewer can place your Articulation therapy experience.
Certifications and qualifications not surfaced
MASLP, RCI Registration appear in the preferred section of most Speech Therapist JDs. If you hold one, it belongs near the top, not in a trailing "Others" line.
Responsibilities
- assess and treat speech, language and swallowing disorders
