Oh yeah, keep up on HPC news and register with the BPS/BAPC too.
It may seem a waste of money but as a Student/Graduate, you get it at
discounted rate (£85) for upto three years. They send you industry news
and journals, which you will NEED to have read to keep upto date.

Yeah, that's why I said "something like that" - I've not looked into it. Yet.
I just like baking bread... may as well make some cheddar out of it.

BPS membership is a must to stay in the loop, you also get get to do cool things like contribute to consultations (instead of just spouting off on the SNH)!

Lol'ing at the bread idea but sounds quite interesting! Make it proper sourdough or gtfo imho (that way it won't go off any time soon like the usual shitty yeast used in supermarket bread)

missus just smashed her interview for a paid assistant psychology post at the place she has been volunteering at for 5 months, fingers crossed.
Sounds like such a thing to get into, the next steps to get on a clinical psychology doctorate sound ridiculously intense

Lol if you've studied at that level surely you should know of jobs in that field.

You'd be surprised, I think psychology-based careers are actually one of the toughest to get started on because A) there isn't a lot of jobs going and B) the entry routes have a lot of criteria you need to fulfill (e.g. you'll need at least an extra year of study or training on top of a bachelors, or both, then you HAVE to do voluntary work for more time on top of that before getting anywhere near to being acceptable to the average institution - trust me, this is how almost everyone does it).

Occupational/organisational psychology is possibly the easiest to get in to but the hardest to sustain because it's in the private sector and you have to prove you're worth to paying customers but you can start with nothing, really.

As of June this year you're not even allowed to call yourself a "life-coach"
or "trainee counsellor" due to the HPC. It's essentially going to be the same
as the difference between seeing a Nutritionist (lay-person) and a Dietician,
(fully qualified.) The same will apply to the term Occupational Psychologist.

HPC sounds like hassle but the BPS supports it and it does fulfill a useful role I suppose...

You can still be a 'business consultant' without it though

If you are really good at Psychology, you can get any job you apply for

True but people without a psychology degree can be good at psychology...

These aren't the droids you are looking for.
