Your CCC-SLP credential, ASHA membership number, state SLP license, and clinical fellowship completion date should all appear in your resume header or a prominent credentials section. If you are a clinical fellow, state your expected CCC-SLP date. ASHA verifies credentials before signing off on most employment offers, so making them easy to find is essential.

SLP is an extremely broad field. Pediatric and adult settings require very different skill sets, and subspecialties like dysphagia, AAC, voice, fluency, and TBI rehabilitation have distinct clinical competencies. Clearly label the populations and settings for each position: school-based, outpatient clinic, acute hospital, SNF, or home health. This specificity dramatically improves recruiter-to-position matching.

Outcome data separates clinical SLPs from exceptional ones. Use goal attainment percentages, pre- and post-treatment standardized assessment scores, AAC device proficiency gains, or dysphagia diet level progressions. These metrics align with ASHA's evidence-based practice standards and communicate impact in a language every hiring SLP director understands.
