Thanks to your graduate training in psychology you have the skills
to do great work in fields such as public policy, education,
healthcare, and business. But to make a successful transition into
non-academic employment, the right mindset is essential. In this
guidebook, you'll explore common unspoken assumptions and attitudes
in academia, and use them to prepare for different work cultures.
You will also learn to build your network, as you identify a career
path that matches your interests. Each chapter in this book offers
tips and key terms for navigating various kinds of employment, as
well as simple action steps for communicating your talents to
hiring managers. Your ability to conduct research, to understand
statistics and perform data analysis, and to perform technical or
scientific writing are all highly valuable skills, as are the
insights into human nature you've gained from your psychology
studies, and your ability to think innovatively and work
cooperatively in a variety of contexts. This guide will show you
how to market your skills, and build the confidence and the plan
you need to take your degree anywhere you wish.
