Work Experience Psychology

Javier Said:

How can i get work experience as a psychology research assistant?

We Answered:

I am not familiar with your area, but a good bet is a local University. This would be especially true if you are a university student. Try contacting the psychology or psychiatry departments. Also try to find a website, and see if you can find individual faculty members whose research you'd be interested in, and contact them directly by email.

Edit: You don't need to be at graduate level to get a job as a research assistant. In fact, having research assistant experience will help improve your chances of getting into a graduate level program. However, if you are younger than undergraduate student, it may be difficult to find something, but ypu'd have time to work on that.
