Looking for employment in Psychology field.?

An Cardine: You might start by asking your Psychology department head if she/he knows of any jobs that you could apply for. Also check with the employment office at the university. These should both have some information/advice that you can't get anywhere else. Because of the confidentiality of the career field, it is difficult to just walk in and be hired in counseling centers, and hospital psy wards. We do use students at our local hospital as volunteers, with lots of orientation, but no hands on with patients, of course. You could try that, by keeping a job you need for money, and volunteering for a few hours a week to put on your resume. Volunteering is a way to go if you can't get employment, even at a nursing home...the elderly is the largest segment of the population, and there will be many needs in the psy field for that type of employment. Not that you need to work forever with the elderly; again, think RESUME. It is great that you see that a pet store is NOT! where you want to be, unless you are going into pet psy work. (a real career field now). In your career counseling office at your university will be a book listing career opportunities in the psy field. Ask someone to show that to you, and you will be surprised how many job opportunities there are that we don't know about. Good luck. You are a sharp person and will do well. Keep your confidence....Show more
