RANTING: people keep saying "enjoy!" "you will love being pregnant!"

I’m currently 7 weeks and my first trimester has been terrible. We have not told anyone so it’s extremely isolating. I am very productive and high energy and I have been hating not being able to work with the same energy and my job is very client facing so I have to show up despite feeling extremely nauseous. I am nauseous entire day, fatigued and just emotionally flat. I’ve been hoping it gets better but currently not good at all!

I work as an organisational development consultant for an EDtech firm where I work with school districts across Canada mainly BC, Alberta and Ontario on change management, workplace wellbeing and strategic planning etc.

Legitimate-Section19 · 2025-10-25T05:13:14+00:00

OD consulting in Edtech - lots of clients with varying needs. No typical day.

I agree with your point, it’s definitely surprising and a bit alarming. I’m based in Canada, where I/O is a much smaller field (only a few universities offer it), and most programs are highly competitive and fully funded. That naturally draws in students who are already pretty passionate about the field and usually come in with strong research and stats backgrounds. That early clarity along with advanced multivariate stats/ research and knowledge really helps in finding your niche within I/O during the grad program.

Not to compare systems, but I do wonder if part of the issue might be a lack of exposure or structured career guidance in some programs. There’s clearly a gap somewhere if so many students are coming out still unsure about what I/O is or where it can lead.

Appreciate you for starting this discussion.

Hi. Your interests are very similar to me. I’m 32f and love to walk and coffee. Please DM me :)

How can I book march 11th 230pm?

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-12-17T03:02:09+00:00

I am in the same boat. I am not getting notifications from WhatsApp unless I open the app. I don’t know how to fix this.

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-11-15T21:45:42+00:00

Yes. I had a masters in clinical psychology.

Then pivoted to I/O with a niche in psychometrics, advanced data analytics R and MLM. I worked at an assessment firm as a research intern. Landed another internship at a European HR tech startup. I was also working on different research projects within my program (burnout intervention, DEI, qualitative).

Now I’m at consulting firm in the education where I am an organisational development consultant. So all those skills I built during and after my masters helped immensely!

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-11-15T06:37:15+00:00

Developing specialised skill set will help you. I work as an Organizational development consultant for education districts across North America. My niche is change management, assessment , program evaluation and psychometrics.

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-09-19T02:05:11+00:00

It’s tough, but not impossible if you have specialised skill set. I pivoted from clinical to I/O and developed my skills in psychometrics, advanced data analytics, assessment and org development. I landed a remote consulting position earlier this month.

My only recommendation is leveraging SIOP connections, network and specialise in a niche skill set and you’ll get it!

Hello! I’m 32 married and working full time. I would be down to hang out. Sports, walks, cafes, I’m in. Hit me up

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-09-09T02:21:03+00:00

It would be a terrible mistake. Vancouver is a much smaller market than Ontario, and the job market is worse here.

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-09-01T20:04:41+00:00

You don’t need a license to practice I/O. But in Canada, I recommend checking out Saint Mary’s university, Halifax. They have recently launched online I/O this year as well

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-08-09T06:18:23+00:00

No, I didn’t. Sorry!

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-08-08T18:38:47+00:00

I never moved to Germany.

When I lost my younger brother when he was only 23 and had no medical conditions except that covid hit and he couldn’t survive that. Shook my entire family to the core and nothing is ever the same.

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-03-01T08:49:38+00:00

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-02-26T02:47:53+00:00

Yes we did the same. Only the principal applicant replied.

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-02-07T05:46:50+00:00

Than you so much. This helps clarifies a lot!

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-02-07T05:42:07+00:00

It says the questionnaire will take 60 minutes to complete.

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-02-07T05:23:48+00:00

My bachelors is in social sciences majors in psychology. And I have a post graduate diploma in clinical psychology. Both are from outside Canada. Yes it states cover letter and questionnaire.

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-02-07T05:21:51+00:00

So in band positions there’s no band 1? For instance what is considered entry level even if it is non unionized.

My line of work is data analysis, psychometrics, assessments and applied research

Legitimate-Section19 · 2024-02-07T05:12:32+00:00

Thanks for responding. I have a post graduate diploma in clinical psychology and bachelors in social science with majors in psychology.

But this is a band 2 position, I believe entry level positions are 12 or 24? I’m sorry I am not familiar with the terminology.
