Speech Pathologist Jobs Overview

Disorders and impediments related to speech, linguistics, phonetics, and swallowing afflict a large enough swath of the population that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) foresees a much-faster-than-average growth outlook of 29% for speech pathologist jobs over the next decade. Also called speech-language pathologists (SLPs), these medical professionals provide treatment and counseling to address communication disabilities caused by diverse factors—from dementia, developmental hindrances, and brain injuries to autism, stroke, and surgery.

Their duties include:

  • diagnosing conditions in both children and adults
  • discussing goals and anticipated results from treatment
  • carrying out effective treatment programs
  • documenting all patient visits

Broaden your options by viewing all of our healthcare jobs. Or try these other health-cognate roles:

Speech Pathologist Education and Skills

Higher education is essential in the field of speech pathology, as you’ll need at least a master’s degree. Try first getting a bachelor’s in psychology, education, linguistics, or communication sciences and disorders, and then you can enroll in a graduate program accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology.

Here are examples of graduate courses you may take:

  • Neurological Bases of Communication
  • Language-Learning in School-Aged Children
  • Adult Cognition and Communication
  • Phonological Disorders
  • Fluency Disorders
  • Vocal and Velopharyngeal Disorders

You’ll likely study alternative methods of communication too, and also gain some clinical experience (under supervision). Then, you’ll need to look into your particular state’s regulations before you can apply to speech pathologist jobs. Most will require licensure, while others will mandate some sort of registration. And certain employers may prefer (or necessitate) that you have a Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) as well.

Plus, these traits will help you shine in this career:

  • tolerance and active listening skills
  • compassion and a warm demeanor
  • a propensity for teaching
  • both creative and critical-thinking skills

Go deeper by reading our feature on how to become a speech pathologist, and check out Monster’s template for a speech pathologist job ad for extra insight.

Update Your Speech Pathologist Resume

Begin your SLP resume with a well-designed header and a crisp career summary. Target your core competencies to your industry. And your education and licenses need to be prominently displayed too. Between those sections, your experience must glow with everything from the counseling initiatives you’ve set forward to the conditions you’ve treated (e.g., swallowing problems, children with apraxia, and people with aphasia).

Regarding cover letters, don’t hesitate to include one with each job application, as they can help differentiate you from other candidates (in a good way). Need inspiration? Then go over our large selection of cover letter samples.

Interviewing for Speech Pathologist Jobs

Two rules of thumb for acing any job interview: Do your research on the company and prepare your responses to common questions that may come up for the position you’re applying to. In this case, practice your answers to these Qs:

  • What motivated you to choose speech pathology as a career?
  • What assistive devices are you familiar with?
  • What are the differences between stuttering-modification techniques and fluency-enhancing strategies?
  • How have you overcome difficulties with autistic patients?

In addition, many interviews are done remotely these days, so make sure to review Monster’s guidance on nailing any video interview.

How Much Do Speech Pathologist Jobs Pay?

Remember: Your experience and the kind of company you join will affect what you get paid. But, based on Monster’s data, the median salary for a speech pathologist is $78,763, and that can shift between $58,047 and $94,677.

Where you live can also influence your pay. So head over to Monster’s Salary Tools site to see where your field is in high demand and glean some tips about how to negotiate the most lucrative job offer.

Want to Learn More About a Company You’re Interested In?

Workplace culture will vary based on whether you’re employed by a major hospital, a rehabilitation center, or a smaller outpatient clinic. Think about where you’ll find success. And we have a collection of company profiles to guide you with:

  • photos, videos, and website/social media links
