Hi everyone,
My name is Vicky and I'm currently finishing an MSc in Community Psychology
at Manchester Metropolitan University. I've got an undergraduate psychology
degree and have volunteered with Penumbra's Edinburgh Self Harm Project for
two summers and with a small organisation called VentureArts for people with
learning difficulties for the past year. I'm currently working as a support
worker with people with mental health issues, learning difficulties and dual
diagnosis. My research interests have been within qualitative research and I
have an interest in critical psychology. I've been applying for assistant
psychologist jobs for the past few months and have had a few interviews but
haven't yet been successful in obtaining a post. I'm interested in pursuing a
career in clinical psychology and was wondering if anyone could give me some
advice about either assistant posts and what is expected within the
interviews, what further experience would be beneficial for me to aim for and
whether it is worthwhile apply for the clinical psychology doctorates even
although I've not worked as an assistant psychologist yet. I know that the
criteria for the doctorates usually says they will consider applicants without
having been an assistant but I was really wondering given the competition for
these posts and courses is this realistic? Thanks in advance for anyone who
replies.
Kind regards,
Vicky
