In the school districts, you guys probably know that SLPs are either employed directly by the school district OR one of those agencies that places them w/ their job. I don't really understand the benefit of going through a "middleman" employment agency, does anyone else? From what I know & heard, they don't pay as high as the district itself.
I'm trying to get employment for my CFY. These agencies contacted me before & after I graduated from grad school. I guess they get my #/email from the university?? I had an interview with one district who said once you sign a contract w/ an agency, they MAY have a clause stating you can never directly work for the district later on. I don't like that at all. The agency set up the interview, but I haven't signed any contract w/ that agency. I prefer direct hire myself.
My main desire at this point in my life is part-time employment & w/ benefits. That shouldn't be too much to ask. What do all you other aspiring SLPs do out there?
