16th of Jan i completed a 3 hour unpaid trial, which essentially consisted of me pouring beers for customers. Upon completion I was accepted, sent my contract which i signed, and started full time work around the 23rd jan.

-Almost- 3 months later (14th april) my boss called me in, stated I was still on 90 day trial, and as a result of my performance, he was firing me on the spot.

Though since my trial constituted work, does that negate 90 day trial? If so, where can I go from here.

I’m almost halfway through my honours year studying BhSc, and fully intend to apply for Counselling psychology masters programs across NZ and Australian unis (and probably clinical but I don’t have much hope here).

I understand the course is very competitive, and besides working hard to bump my GPA, I have my diss and another research opportunity I’m working on. However I have zero work experience, I have lots of previous experience in hospitality, but nothing off healthcare practice.

Where should i be looking for experience before i finish honours and go apply for masters? What’s the best course of action? any other suggestions to increase my chances for acceptance?

Any insight would be much appreciated
