So you want to pick people‚Äôs brains eh? Well, since you‚Äôre looking for entry-level jobs in psychology, you‚Äôre definitely not qualified (I’m joking of course), so let‚Äôs take it one step at a time. I think that psychology.about.com is a good place to start, provides a nice brief summary of the types of jobs available to the person looking for entry-level jobs in psychology. Basically someone right out of undergrad without the professional degrees and so honing those research skills, interpersonal skills and writing skills can open up a lot of jobs such as a library assistant, probation officer, business manager, case worker, or in sales, marketing, case management, and government welfare protection agencies. The list seems endless, a nice beginning to the entry-level job search.
Looking at a nice breakdown of entry-level jobs in psychology is a good idea as well. There are certain jobs in business, social services and an apparently miscellaneous category. It is definitely worth looking into for all you psychology majors out there.
Next try listening to some professional advice. I found a website (www.psychwww.com/careers), a pretty random website that actually had helpful links on it. There is advice and direction provided for all psychology aspirers, not just the entry-level job in psychology seeker. Links tailored to exploring careers with the same skills and abilities a student in psychology might have, entry-level jobs, graduate school advice and job searching resources. There is a nice timeline available, so those of you whom have not graduated yet, look into this right now.
