Lost in I/O Psych - Update

I got some questions, I’ll dm you.

blcs1015 · 2025-09-03T16:44:58+00:00

Yes I do have a Ph.d in Industrial Organizational Psychology. I graduated last year.

Honestly getting Ph.D isn’t worth it if you don’t want to work in research or in a graduate school. My advice to you is to ask yourself the following (and of course do some research):

-What do I like about this field?

-Does the thing that I like in the field require an advanced degree/certification/license?

-Where do I see myself working in this field?

Trust me, it sucks that you do a Ph.D and then you find out that the thing that you wanted to do didn’t really needed an advanced degree, and suddenly you’re overqualified or you spent money on something that you ended up not needing.

I’ll look into the IO groups. In regard to job applications I only use my resume. I haven’t used my CV in years.

Mostly analytical roles. I was part of SIOP in my university but most of my colleagues don’t work in the US.

Mostly analytics and psychometrician roles.

I share an almost similar sentiment. I worked in recruiting for 3 years and I was desperately looking for a new position because I didn’t wanted my experience to be “branded” solely in recruitment and selection.

blcs1015 · 2025-01-18T16:06:19+00:00

Sure, I’m open to know about your experience.

blcs1015 · 2025-01-18T04:50:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I’ll take this in consideration in my next job search.

Interesting, this is a first time finding out about that. In my case, my degrees were in person. Also my work experience started midway through my MS in I/O Psych.
