I need recommendations for job search as I transition from getting a BA in psych to a PsyD program (as a full time student and full time worker)
Hi everyone, I need advise for job search. Out of necessity I worked full time as a mental health worker in a psychiatric hospital for the last 3 years, while being a full time student and obtaining my BA in psychology. I just finished and will start a PsyD program in the fall! I know it’s not recommended but I still need to work full time during my 1st year (while I have no practicum) since I have no financial support in this journey.
I have a lot of experience under my belt working in psychiatry but I am looking for something a bit more laid back if possible. I tried applying for research assistant positions, but no success so far. I don’t have a lot of experience due to juggling everything full time. But I did manage to do 1 semester of research in a lab, and presented a poster at an undergraduate conference before I graduated this spring(GPA 3.9). But it anyways it’s not a lot. Any advice on what kind of jobs I can look for next? thank you! 😊
