Psych grad!! What did you do after undergrad and what jobs did you find
Hi everyone!
I’ve recently finished my undergraduate psychology degree and I’m currently still partially engaged in a research internship, but I’m also starting to think seriously about my next professional steps.
I’m hoping to move into a stable, full-time paid role that allows me to continue developing professionally, ideally in an area connected to psychology, research, mental health, community services, HR, admin, or project/coordination work. I know these roles can be hard to come by, especially early on, but I’m keen to be proactive and learn more about what pathways are out there.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar position after undergrad or postgrad where did you end up, what kinds of roles did you apply for, and what helped you get your foot in the door?
I’d also be really grateful for any informal mentorship or coffee chats from people who’ve been through this stage before. I’m mainly hoping to hear about different pathways, what helped you get started, and what you wish you knew earlier.
Thank you in advance :)
