Virtual Conference

There are many ways you can use your psychology degree outside of academia and private practice. Today, psychologists are working in consumer industries, financial services, even among the corporate ranks of major fast-food chains.

These presentations provide an inside look at careers for psychologists in corporate and industrial settings. Also included, workshops on resume writing and networking for success and a downloadable copy of the Monitor on Psychology’s e-booklet, Finding A Job In Industry. It features Q&As with psychologists working in industry and articles on job hunting and interviewing.

Testimonials

  • "Dr. Ballard was great, he helped me to take a step back in my own professional psychology background, to think about how I want to move forward and the tools to get me there."
  • "I like the fact that people with degrees in psychology can really work in all kinds of industries and fields. The speaker's work as a consultant at Accenture was very interesting and gave me food for thought."
  • "The networking speaker introduced a concept that I had not heard before, so it was great to gain new knowledge -- not your typical networking workshop!"
  • "Thank you for hosting this series and the many handouts and references available. It is something I have been talking about with colleagues for years and I am happy to see your focus on industry options."
  • "I am loving this format and topic. Thank you guys for sharing!"
