There is an increasing demand for Occupational Psychologists as society is changing, but places on postgraduate courses are still difficult to obtain. As well as your degree, any kind of work experience is useful as long as you are able to understand the functioning and operation of various organisations. Below is a list of example job opportunities that students can undertake to get an insight into these areas:
Work experience with psychometric test publishers (you may need to get in contact with companies for vacancies)
Jobs are advertised in the Psychologist Appointments which is part of The Psychologist (the BPS monthly magazine), in newspapers or in specialist publications from the Civil Service.
A Criminal Records Bureau Check will be needed if you are working with children or sensitive information.
