Mastering the Job Market: Career Issues for Master's Level Industrial-Organizational Psychologists is the definitive source for practical advice and evidence-based recommendations for the development of successful careers in professional I-O psychology. Authors from top-ranked I-O master's programs address topics such as the job search, applying for jobs, on-boarding, organizational roles, salaries, career transitions, and maintaining professionalism throughout the I-O master's career. Drawing from a large nationwide survey of I-O master's practitioners and their employers, this volume brings together critical insights into the nuts and bolts of conducting a job search and other specific strategies to enable job seekers to land one or multiple job offers within six months of graduation. Key competencies for success, professional development opportunities for I-O master's graduates, and the three best practices for maximizing mentoring relationships are also discussed. This book will be essential reading for recent graduates and anyone undertaking a career transition in I-O Psychology.
