“The resources and services provided by the SIOP Placement Center helped me to find my current position. Searching for jobs relevant to the I-O psychology field can be a challenging task. Using the Placement Center’s job database, I was able to find roles relevant to my career aspirations and communicate with employers looking for candidates with my experience, skillset, and education. After scheduling interviews for the conference weekend, I elected to sign up for the Placement Center’s Mock Interview Program. I was able to meet with a professor at the conference who provided feedback and encouragement in preparation for the real interviews. The Placement Center was instrumental in my job search and made finding a job much easier for me.”

“Utilizing the SIOP placement center jump started my career and professional network. While in graduate school, I was limited to networking with my alumni network and cohort. The Placement Center enabled me to gain access to opportunities outside of my small professional network. I was able to obtain my first job out of graduate school utilizing the Placement Center. Aside from gaining my first professional I-O job, I was also able to network with additional mentors with who I still remain in contact. The Placement Center process was efficient, convenient, and very beneficial. The Placement Center opened up many avenues professionally and I am extremely appreciative of this SIOP service.”
–Kaitlyn Mikush, former Placement Center participant
“Not only was I able to obtain a job by participating in the Placement Center, but I was able to network with other I-O psychology professionals. As a candidate who was finishing up graduate school, I did not have many professional connections. I think that it is safe to say that my professional network tripled because of my involvement in the Placement Center. I was able to interview with multiple organizations from all over the country without spending multiple days traveling back and forth, while networking with a variety of professionals at various stages in their career.”
