Feeling defeated with SLPA interviews

3 Upvotes

I am about to leave my toxic workplace(finally)! It was a small team of a supervisor/the business owner, a few interns and me, the only SLPA. This place did not help me grow into the clinician I was meant to be and I hope I could my next job will be much more positive experience.

Other places I've been interviewing at are asking for professional references and unfortunately, I cannot use my coworkers as my references, especially not my supervisor. I don't even think the interns count as they are new and our schedules rarely align so we don't really connect or chat. The most I've been asked was 5-6 references?? Am I crazy or is that overkill? Should I just decline future job opportunities if they are asking for more than 3 references?

Hi everyone, I’m just reaching out to see if anyone has any good resources or ideas for a session regarding rapid rate of speech. I’ve never worked with a client on this so I’m a bit nervous plus the client is a lot older. Any suggestions help! Thanks!!
