How to Find the Right Psychology Jobs for You
Anyone who wants insight into human behaviour and decision-making can benefit from working with psychology professionals. There are a wide variety of roles in many different industries that you could choose to work in. As you plan your career, identify jobs that are a good fit for your skills, credentials, and interests.
Consider What You Want in a Job
When you search for a psychology job, prioritise what you want most and take stock of your short- and long-term career goals. Prestige, financial compensation, and opportunities to innovate or engage in socially meaningful work are all powerful motivators.
Your ideal job should align with your goals, lifestyle, skills, and values. Carefully review each job description and consider pursuing any additional training you may need to fill a particular role. For example, if you want to work with children, you may need a particular certification or license as well as a background check.
Evaluate the Scope of the Role
As you read through job postings, ask yourself these questions:
- Do my training and skills align with the job?
- Is the salary range suitable for my level of expertise?
- Are the expectations clearly stated?
- Do the schedule, hours, and work environment suit my needs?
To make the most of your search, make sure that your skills, education, and experience are a good fit for any role you apply for. Try to picture yourself performing the day-to-day duties of the role and working at that specific company. After all, the right job must be a good match for both employer and employee.
Research to Learn More About Your Opportunities
It takes more than filling out an application and landing an interview to find a great job. To build your career as a psychology professional:
- Reach out to peers and potential mentors to discuss the skills and resources you’ll need to do well in your field.
- Look for healthy organisational cultures that match your values and try to discover if people are happy where they work.
- Research online to learn more about the company’s reputation and priorities.
Choose Jobs with Opportunities for Growth
To grow in your psychology career, think about where you want to be in a few years’ time. Do your own research or ask prospective employers what employees need to do to grow within the organisation.
Also, seek out companies that are active within the community and affiliated with professional societies. Consider your timeline for professional advancement and plan to acquire the training you need to achieve your goals.
How to Apply for Psychology Jobs
When you apply for a psychology job, you’ll need to review the work setting, skills, qualifications, and salary range associated with each role. Then, follow these steps as you prepare your documents:
- Highlight your relevant strengths, abilities, and accomplishments in your application.
- Emphasise desirable soft skills such as active listening, critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and cultural competence.
- Create an action-oriented, accurate, and easy-to-scan CV that includes your work history, educational background, and worthwhile certifications for mental health and psychological first-aid training.
- Tailor your cover letter to the position by including skills you possess that are listed in the job description.
Make sure these documents are concise and error-free. If you're applying to a larger organisation that uses software to select CVs, it’s especially important that your documents include targeted keywords to increase your chances of approval.
Search the job listings themselves to find keywords that are associated with each psychology job you are considering. Reflect any requirements in your CV and application. Some examples of common psychology keywords are:
- EMDR
- mental health
- psychotherapy
- personal development
- cognition
- mindfulness
- group therapy
Create a Profile and Submit Your Application

How to Follow Up After You Apply
It’s important to follow up with prospective employers after you apply for a psychology job. Give the company some time to review applications, and then reach out to ask about the timeline and status of your application.
Make sure the hiring manager receives your follow-up note. Search the directory on the company website, check the job ad for instructions, or reach out to a company contact or the HR department and ask them to point you in the right direction.
How to Manage the Interview Process
To prepare for your interview, review common psychologist interview questions and ask people you trust for feedback as you rehearse your answers. Try to learn about how the organisation’s interview process works. Research its successes and challenges so you can show how you will use your problem-solving skills to help them achieve objectives.
Here are some essential tips for doing well in your interview:
- Learn as much as you can about the interview format before you go in, so you’ll be prepared to answer every question.
- Actively listen and make eye contact as you interview.
- Show that you can skilfully relate to your colleagues, supervisors, and clients by communicating positively, politely, and clearly.
- Highlight your abilities and problem-solving capabilities by using the STAR method to answer questions.
- Ask questions, and if possible, take the opportunity to tour the office and meet the people you will work with to ensure the work environment is compatible with your needs.
- Discuss opportunities for advancing your career and ask about benefits, compensation, and the day-to-day work environment.
How to Handle the Post-Interview Follow-Up
Within 24 hours of your first interview, send a brief thank-you email to the hiring manager. Mention one specific takeaway from the meeting and express your enthusiasm about the role.
If the employer hasn’t replied to your follow-up by the expected date, sit tight. You should contact the employer right away if you receive a competing offer or news that could influence their decision. Otherwise, wait a week and send a second, short, positive follow-up letter to the hiring manager to politely let them know you are looking forward to their reply.
How to Respond to a Job Offer
When you get a job offer, acknowledge it by email within 48 hours. Thank the employer and let them know how much time you need to review the opportunity.
It should only take a few days to accept a winning proposal. Ask for more time if you need to weigh competing offers or consider moving to another city. Usually, you will be expected to make your decision within a week.
Negotiating Your Salary and Benefits
As you consider your job offer, determine if the salary meets your expectations. If not, get ready to negotiate your compensation package. Be cheerful and demonstrate your value as the conversation progresses, and try not to be defensive in the face of difficult questions.
Tips for a Successful Negotiation
When you negotiate compensation, try to create opportunities for mutual reward. Be flexible but be wary of giving up too much bargaining power if you are just starting out or entering an adjacent field.
Benefits like vacation days, a flexible work schedule, and a supportive, satisfying work environment may balance out a lower salary offer. Consider the value of health insurance and other work-related perks as well. Work with the hiring manager to keep the negotiation moving forward and make sure you remain on good terms.
