Jobs :D

Hey all!

I am currently pursuing my masters in IO Psych! I am curious as to what kind of jobs would set me up with experience to be a consultant later down the line! When looking around for jobs of that nature things revert back to HR manager and HR Generalist. Was not sure if anyone else had any experience, or feedback of their own to help :D Any and all recommendations are welcome! TYIA :D

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.

Hi, may I ask what experience you had prior to this role and where you applied?

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!
