This might be of interest to some of you…for preparing for job searches. I’m not familiar with the organization. But take a look. It’s $35 for non-members but may be worth it.
If you do participate, please let know what you think of it so I can recommend/not to others in the future.
Thanks.

Subject: Ask your Students to Register for METRO Virtual I-O Psych Career Day - Friday, March 5th
[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Hi Dr. Mitchell,
Below is an email and registration link <https://metroapppsych.com/event-4174484> about a virtual career day I’m hosting for METRO next week, and would appreciate you passing it on to your students! We have a great line up of both applied and academic positions on the virtual panels. There will also be breakout groups after each panel so that students can interact with the panelists and each other in small groups to give them a chance to ask questions in a more personal setting. The tone of the day is supportive and mentoring and we hope it will encourage stronger relationships within our I-O community.
Our panelists represent a great blend of early career and senior I-O psychologists from organizations such as Facebook, Johnson & Johnson, Deloitte, Hogan, ILearnFromYou, PepsiCo, Amazon, Capri Holdings, R/GA, Korn Ferry, Kincentric, Pennington Human Dynamics, Mercer. We also have an academic panel featuring professors from Columbia, Baruch, Montclair, Hofstra, and Stony Brook University.
The Metropolitan New York Association for Applied Psychology (METRO) is a not-for-profit professional association run by volunteers. We are the oldest and largest local professional association of applied psychologists in the U.S. You do NOT need to be a METRO member to attend Career Day, though members do get a discount. Learn more about METRO membership for students and professionals here<https://metroapppsych.com/join-us>.
Thanks for supporting the next generation of applied psychologists and METRO.
Sincerely,
Lily Blocker, PhD

You are invited to the following event<https://www.metroapppsych.com/event-4174484>:
METRO Virtual Career Day 2021
When: 5 Mar 2021 9:00 AM, EST
Where: Zoom (Link to be sent out on the day of the event)
Register<https://www.metroapppsych.com/event-4174484>
We have a great line-up of panelists that will explore options available to I/O and OD professionals, students, and those looking to make career transitions. Hear early career and senior practitioners discuss what employers are seeking, get more prepared for your job search, and learn more about their experiences.
Career Day Speakers: Our panelists represent a great blend of early career and senior I-O psychologists from organizations such as Facebook, Johnson & Johnson, Deloitte, Hogan, ILearnFromYou, PepsiCo, Amazon, Capri Holdings, R/GA, Korn Ferry, Kincentric, Pennington Human Dynamics, Mercer. We also have an academic panel featuring professors from Columbia, Baruch, Montclair, Hofstra, and Stony Brook University.
Virtual Format: This year’s Career Day is virtual and includes a mix of panels and many opportunities to interact with other attendees as well as the speakers. After each 30 minute panel, you’ll be placed into small groups with one or two of the speakers for an additional 30 minutes so that students can interact with the panelists and each other in small groups to give them a chance to ask questions in a more personal setting. You are welcome to come to only the sessions that are most relevant to you or join us for the whole day - whichever you’d prefer. Our goal is to encourage genuine interactions and stronger relationships within our community.
Panelists will discuss:
• Differences between internal and external roles.
• Shifts in skills for the current work environment.
• Technical and non-technical resources available for help in the job search.
• How you can provide added value or distinguish yourself from everyone else.
• Perspectives on how careers progress.
• What employers want to see on your resume.
• Current trends in the job market.
• Internships - are they out there, and if so, how can you get one?
