USI: Psychology Club--Jobs & Volunteer Opportunities

Jobs/Volunteer Opportunities

One thought: finding a job is difficult. I know only a handful of people who just happen to walk into a great job. Each of these places listed is not hiring all the time. If you are unsure how to market yourself, I have a handout that may help or talk to someone in our counseling center. These places are listed because our students and graduates have found jobs at these places -- I do not maintain a listing of job openings.
