love the analogy of how you conclude an interview is also how you are perceived by clients in a way during sessions. This is a major confidence booster somehow! Good luck everyone :) We can do it!
After some time away from the field, this was nice, just surprised by so few knowledge-based questions about disorders, relevant terminology, anatomy and physiology. It's okay to refer to notes for these things from time to time, but I was expecting an interview to have some "stumper" questions to filter out people who rely too much on their notes.
It’s a field dominated by women- women run the field of speech language pathology. And for some reason, I doubt you’d ask that same question of women if the video were men interviewing men, just because the way you worded that comment. “Where are the men?” Not in this field, at least not a substantial quantity. “Where are the male bosses? Where are the men leading this field?” There are women leading this field, and they show the way women interview women because it’s more relevant. You wouldn’t highlight an obscure culinary technique in a video or article teaching the basics of cooking. Male SLPs are not the basics. For now, they are the obscure. The number of male SLPs might rise or fall in the future, which isn’t a good or bad thing, but for now, women represent the vast majority of SLPs in the US, and an increase in the number or men who choose to pursue this career path is no ones priority, and asking insulting questions like, “Where are the men”, where are the men to take control here, is a little demeaning to all the passionate, driven women who devote decades of their life to speech language pathology. Women can run this field. Women are running this field. They have been, and unless men start flocking to this career, they will continue to be.
@@DumpsterFire2048 Sounds like you're not the best SLP to me. You're worried about being the best, rather than focusing on the positive growth and development of your patient. This is a supportive field, not a "who's better than the next kinda field." I didn't want to say it but.... thats the problem with men. Lack of empathy and compassion for what really matters. Let me tell YOU something sweetie pie!!!
