super informative. i have a bachelor's in psych and i'm trying to decide what to do next. this was super helpful! I originally planned on doing clinical psychology but after working a year in a clinical setting, i realized that i get DRAINED from too much personal interaction. i love helping people and being useful but i'm too introverted for that. i love research and math. :D thank you for addressing these points!
I have my masters in forensic psychology and have been thinking about getting my PhD in IO. While I thought that I wanted to go the clinical route, I think I am too emotional and become too emotionally attached to become a clinical psychologist. You made some great points. Great video
@@ranelle468 I graduated from grand canyon university and I really enjoyed the program. Jobs are limited where I live but if you want to have a job in the criminal justice field, you will really like it.
Thanks for this❤️I like the part about you saying how you can help people from a distance. I’ve recently graduated with my Bachelors in Psych & lately I’ve been feeling like being a therapist wouldn’t exactly fit for me although I do want to help people. Thanks for the insight!!
This video just confirmed that IO Psychology is right for me. I’ve been so flip floppy in my past about my career smh. But since I changed my major to Psy, I’ve def felt the passion and excitement I was lacking elsewhere, especially with IO emphasis. Thank you for this informative video!
Hey have you got into masters in IO ? Can you share your experiences? Is Germany good for masters in IO ? Can you suggest best colleges in Europe? Pros and cons? Starting salary? Highly appreciate any response at your convenience. Thank you
I did Multivariate Statistics as my senior capstone project I analytics data sets and used Statistics I also took psychological Statistics I was looking into I/0 psychology because I was gonna get a masters in business my bachelor was in psychology
IO Psychology sounds ideal for me but I'm worried about the research/stats/math aspect. I suck at it. My favorite part of psychology is the human connection aspect but at the same time, constant human connection is difficult for me. I'm being pulled in multiple directions D:
Try not to worry about the stats/research part too much, you will be taught well. You can go a long way with a bit of determination and a great teacher.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am coming to the end of my undergrad degree and have been considering an IO masters as my next steps. This has helped me not only appreciate the challenging and trickier sides of the profession, but also assure me that I am keen on pursuing this further. Amazing content and greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the great video! I am a first-year college student who is interested in psychology but is unsure of where to go with it. I will definitely be heavily considering I/O Psychology now!!

I had a auditing in a mortgage company. Basically what i did is internally review the company. When i left i realized i didnt like 40hrs a week of accounting. However, i loved learning about how the organization functions moves together in coordinated fashion to achieve a goal. Our audit process was like an expanded version of the scientific. I realized my skills in data analysis, computer information systems and stats were a great fit to I/O.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m a fourth year student in psychology and I’m interested in IO, but I’m not that great at stats. Or at least had a bad experience with a stats class in uni. Do you have any advice for me if I want to still pursue IO?
If stats is a weak point for you, I’d advise you get tutoring or spend extra time studying the concept. In grad school you’ll get a thorough understanding of stats and teachers are usually open to lending extra help or explanations. Don’t let stats deter you in pursuing IO.
I would give the opposite advice as someone who is bad at stats and is currently a MS in IO PSychology student. I am so ready to drop out, everything is stats and data analysis. It’s all about measuring behavior, that’s what differentiates IO from other fields. I hate to ve negative but I’ve never been more unhappy than since I started IO.
@@jessicaguillen9473 is that true? I have a friend pursuing Organizational Psychology and she isn’t smart at all. When do the statistics classes start?
Chris Reynolds I am only speaking from my experience. You don’t have to be super smart, but if statistics doesn’t come easy to you, you have to be ready to put in the work and it is a ton. On average I spend about 6 hours per class outside of the 2hrs/class every week just reading the long articles and trying to understand the tables, etc. Scientific articles are a pain to read and everything connnects to statistics in this field at the end of the day. Don’t get me wrong I have gotten A’s in all my classes so far, but I have yet to enjoy at least 1 meeting. I have been a straight A’s student my whole college career. For me the stats classes started right from the first semester, data analysis, research methods, even my motivation class that she talks about here, while it was full of theory and I enjoyed it, all our projects still required using statistics. The main thing in this field is that they believe “no opinion matters unless you have collected and analyzed the data and have a report to back it up” this isn’t philosophy (my professors words) so it’s discouraging, because even when you do collect the data and analyze it, there’s so many tests to do to make sure your results are significant and valid and you can’t EVER claim you’re right because “there’s always room for error” and they believe it’s the beauty of it, since it’s science. I personally find it pointless! But I’m sure everyone is different and some people will like it.
Thank you so much for this video! It really gave me the insight I need to make my decision of whether I should pursue this for my Ph.D. program. (I will be pursuing!)
@@Kvndmj hey man a genuine question for you ....I am also interested in this field( currently doing a bachelor in Psychology) can you tell me if it is really important to do Phd to get into this field( how difficult it is to land a job?) Or a masters will be sufficient to get a job? Thanks you.
So I’m really interested in IO psychology and I love connecting with people but I’m just really bad at maths and statistics. Would that be a huge problem? Or can I work with a company as IO psychologist without too much of maths or statistics involved? Can you suggest a field which doesn’t require as much of the math and statistics skills?
fandomheart try not to be discouraged from the field because of statistics. Grad programs usually do a good job of teaching and preparing you to do the work. You could probably take the HR path or something in business, I’m not sure how much math is involved there but I don’t think they focus as much on stats as IO programs do.
I am a Master’s of Science in IO Psychology student who hates math and stats, so while I do agree with the previous comment that says you get prepared, please understand what that means, almost EVERY class you take will be about research, data analysis, statistics OHHHH SO MUCH STATISTICS. Also grad school is not like UG, they just throw piles of work and expect you to know it, so yea you get prepared but because you have to spend day and night studying stats. I HATE IT so much and I’m dropping out. Please consider taking a course on it before you get into it, it is all about stats.
@@jessicaguillen9473 Thank you so much for your advice! I’m really bad at maths and stats and considering that this field is pretty much all about that, I’ve decided not to take it
I am an IO psychologist (Ph.D) that has been practicing since 2005. I suck at math and bombed statistics. I found my place in qualitative research. Don’t turn away because of that. Also the O-side is less related to statistics. The O-Side is related to facilitating, retreats, focus groups. I still do research but it is qualitative and I also do focus groups and facilitated discussions.
@@474Cate Thank you for this reply. I initially did drop the idea of going for IO psych, but I recently thought of just giving it another shot and you replied to my comment at the perfect time. If you don’t mind sharing, would you say IO is a rewarding career in terms of pay? Do you feel like the ones who are more into quantitative earn better or anything of that sort?
I can say that I chose masters level in order to emphasize the 'practitioner' aspect of the 'scholar-practitioner' model, so that I would have the skills to work in a company. I don't think one is better than the other, it's more about what your career goals are. If you want to teach and do research a phd is probably best, if you want to work more directly with organizations using research and best practices masters is best, but you can always get a phd even if your masters program is meant to be a terminal degree. Oh, and you can be a contract consultant using the networking tools provided by SIOP membership, so that is similar to a 'private practice' in clinical psych. I don't know if that's helpful, but that's what I've learned so far in my program.
Thanks for the informative video! I do have a business background with MBA knowledge. I like many aspects of OIP, but wondering whether I'm eligible to do masters in this field. Any suggestions are highly appreciated.🌷
Hi! Thank you so much for such an informative video! I'm an undergrad majoring in Psych, I'm just curious would you suggest minoring in business as well since the field overlaps with the business world quite a bit? Or would a minor in computer science be more helpful? Thanks so much for your video!
Yes a minor will help. I’ve read that business classes help with grad school acceptance. I changed to psych with two semesters left. I did not want to be an accountant. After a year internship, i realized the career i was pursuing was going to be demoralizing. Also, i worked in the internal audit department. Basically we review regulator compliance, risk management, and workplace efficiency. I loved witnessing my managers pitch these huge ideas for company wide improvements. However, i didn want to spend years doing the boring stuff to get to management. I choose I/O psych because it applies everything im good at: data analysis, working with executive leadership, computer information systems. The future is with computers, however the people need to learn how use these tools to produce the most efficient products and services.

This video was so informational. Thank you for explaining this so well. I do have a question, I am going to be applying to colleges as an undergraduate freshmen. What would be the best major to choose that would set me up for IO Psychology? I am in between choosing a business or psychology major at the moment. I have always been set towards a business major, but this seems like the perfect career for me. Thank you.
Yes both are good, if it’s easier for you major in psych and minor in business. That way you’d get introduced to research methods and statistics which are necessary classes and skills if you are looking to go to graduate school.
Hi Jessica! I am really interested in IO psych and am considering enrolling in a masters program for it but I was wondering if there is always a lot of Presenting to large groups or if there is a field within it that is more behind the scenes. I have severe social anxiety where I cannot present but I do very well with small groups or one on one types of encounters. I appreciate your time. Thank you!
Hi, presentation skills is a skill you can develop and it will be put into practice in grad school. But it is highly likely you will be presenting at one point during your career so do keep that in mind.

Hello! Thanks for this insightful video, I 'm a high school student and I'm deciding my path for the future. I really like the field of io psychology but at the same time I also have a passion for neurology. I just wanted to know if neurology is used/applied at all in io psychology.
Glad it was helpful! I got your message on Instagram, I responded there but I’ll put my response here in case others are curious: There seems to be a trend of intersecting neuroscience and org psychology in the realm of leadership. Although, I will admit I don’t know much about it. The impressions I have gotten so far from other org psychologists (which I haven’t talked to many about this so take it as you will) is that it is quackery. Apparently, there isn’t a lot of research on this but again I don’t know much about this.
Hey, this video was really helpful! Thank you for it. After watching this video, I'm 100 percent sure I want to be an IO Psychologist. I'm pursuing my BA in Psychology. I just wanted to ask: besides a good TOEFL score, do I need some esearch experience to get into an American university for masters in IO Psychology? -love from India. ❤️
Research experience is helpful but not 100% required depending upon the program. Check out siop.org and look at their graduate master program requirements.
First of all, thank you so much for this video 🙏🏽🙏🏽 The school that I am thinking about pursuing my masters in I/O psychology is offering an MA. Is that typical for that type of degree especially since you said a lot of math - stats are required for this job.
What are your thoughts of working internationally as an IO psychologist? I love everything about IO psych but I want to make sure I can work and live abroad
Amzing video, sorry if the questions repetitive for you but Im very interested in becoming an IO Psychologist but not sure where to start. I slacked off in HS and in my final year, I will most likely be going to be going to a community college. Im definitely majoring in Psych but can you provide any guidance on the steps I need go take to reach my self to a masters degree or PhD. Is there even a difference ?
This video was definitely very helpful an informative. I am currently working to get my BA in Business Administration and minoring in Psychology (that is what my advisor suggest since they do not have I/O psych as an undergraduate major. However, If I can I want to avoid going to grad school. If I were to have an impressive resume that includes the skills/experience directly correlated in this field that companies could look past me only having a bachelors degree?
Have you looked into organization behavior? Its a business major that comes in contact with I/O psych. I believe that organization behavior is more of the day-to-day practice.
Hello! Thank you for the video! I'm interested in I/O psychology, but at the same time, I'm interested in the followings; help people find the right career, how to gain motivation or hope in spite of difficulties in life, dating and marriage relationship, and help change social policy or system that leads to improve relationship in society. Do you think I could do those with I/O psychology master or PhD degree? Or, do you think I need to study another field of psychology to do those?
New Horizon You can def help people with finding the right career and possibly increasing motivation with IO. Although motivation is a beast on its own. The other stuff you might need to study another field. However, if you’re creative you can find a way to do all of it.
@@JessicaJane4 Thank you! Ok! So, what you mean by saying "Study another field" is I need to take another master in that field? Is there any alternative way to attain the knowledge of those?
I think your other interests that you mentioned has to do more with counseling psychology. I would say you need to look inside yourself to find out which of your interests you love the most and follow it. Do what makes happy😊 I am also currently doing my MSc psychology conversion program and torn between counselling and organisational psychology.
I am interested in IO psych but I am nervous for the workload. Will I be able to work and finish a PHD program or is that not doable? Is there a life work balancing while being in school and while working?
tenzin yangzom Thanks for watching! With an IO psych degree you can still work in Human Resources. I suggest considering your overall career goals and comparing fields to see which is most compatible with your goals. Additionally, you do not have to be math savvy in my opinion. In my experience, I am not mathematically gifted but my professors did a wonderful job explaining. Just apply yourself and you’ll be fine!
Jessica Jane thanks for ur response, 🤗 I have those 2 degrees that I have mentioned before however I been working in an international airline as a cabin crew for 5 years so what field would u recommend since I have experience in customer service. So based on that which masters program would u suggest as some people say u don’t really need a masters degree for HRM, so what masters degree would u recommend and which masters program has better future prospects. Thanks a lot in advance! ❤️
Hello Jessica amazing video! I have one question I hope you don't mind answering. Can someone who has a masters in I/O psychology then get a Phd in Clinical Psychology after that? Thank you!
Hello thank you so much for sharing this. I however have a question. I studied Linguistics and African Languages for my bachelors will I be able to cross to I/O Psychology? I love to help people discover their purpose and find expressions for maximum impact but I did not study Psychology for my BA. May you kindly advice on what to do?
Sure. Just be sure to get some research methods, statistics, and a couple of psychology classes if possible. If not make sure in your statement of purpose you explain why you’re pursuing IO and how elements of your experience and studies can translate to the IO. Goodluck!
Hey Jessica!! I loved your video it was very educational and helpful! I have a question! I m in the 3rd year of studying Hospitality and Tourism Management and i want to keep on my studies after getting my bachelor degree for Master studying IO. My question is: Can i work with a master degree at IO at general fields of businesses and organizations or only in the hospitality field? Because i m worried that because of my bachelor degree (Hospitality and tourism management) i wont have the chance working at other fields on IO!

Did you get a master's degree or anything beyond your bachelor's? I'm interested in consulting in IO psych and I don't know how much I'd make straight out of college so I'm strongly considering a master's degree. What do you think? Thanks!
Hey Jessica, I am a student really interested in I/O Psychology. However, I am working for a large corporation at the moment and I hate corporate life. I really want to work in the healthcare stream, and do research on how to make the healthcare system more humane. Do you think I/O would be a good suit for me. I work in HR now and for the love of God I can't go back to HR. Is there any way to avoid it by going into I/O?
You could join a research and development team. There are ways to avoid being placed in HR but you’ll likely have to partner closely to them in some capacity.
Hi Jessica, is there a way to connect with you for an informational interview? You touched on so many critical points for this field of work that it opened my eyes completely. I am not a professional in the field of IO but am further developing my footprint in the business world and looking to regroup my path
I have my Master's in Human Resources and Bachelor's in Commerce, I work as Full time Company HR. I feel the need to pursue Industrial psychology. @Jessica do u think, my Masters will be considered and admitted, when I do not have a valid degree in Psychology field?
Hi, I’m currently in my undergrad completing my bachelors degree. I’m trying to figure out potential complementary majors with a psych degree. I’ve heard a couple of people say business, and stats, but I am already a junior and I don’t think I’ll be able to complete those majors by the time of graduation. Do you have any recommendations for a double major interested in pursuing industrial psychology as a career? Thank you!
During undergrad I declared my psych minor junior year. If that’s possible do that for yourself and take a few psych classes including a stats and method class if you haven’t already.
Hi Jessica, I could use your insight on I/O Psychology. I’m looking to get into career path where I can use learning , technology , and design to help with team building, leadership, and personal development, and I want to work in a networking setting like workshops, conferences, retreats etc. I want to work with small business owners, and different entrepreneurs. I’m not good at math or stats at all, but I do want to help people with their work/ life balance . From your knowledge,would getting a Masters in I/O Psych be beneficial, and if so, how could I possibly break into this career? Also, your I/O psych content is very helpful, and good luck on your journey.
Hi Tekia, thanks for watching! Yes a masters could be beneficial for you as having credibility is always good. Also graduate programs tend to do a great job at teaching statistics. I myself am not too mathly gifted but stats was not too hard to grasp. In fact I enjoy the process of doing it now. Anyway you want to take it, networking is a big thing in this field which is something I am learning now. You are on the right track.
Hello, you are beautiful! Thank you for this video. I graduated last year in IT engineering but, I think I don’t belong there. I am bad at mathematics. I want to become I/O psychologist. . Can US/ Canadian universities accept me?
You said about AI...I'm curious how can AI be used in Human Resource field?..Heard about Data analysis & Big Data.. which can be used for effective Recruitments,Payroll. Any more significances?
Yeah I heard from one of the SIOP conferences AI can be used for screening and recruiting applicants. I am not 100% abreast of it's influences though. You might have to do some research on it :). However, I do know it's a relevant topic right now.
Programs generally do a good job of teaching stats. Based on my experience in school, not everyone understands it entirely but you do have some peers who do and will help you, along with your professors. You will learn the principles and application of those. Try not to let stats hinder you if this is something you really want. If you’re open to learning and apply yourself, you’ll get it.
Hello, first of all great video! I am currently an undergraduate student pursuing an Engineering degree and I am pretty interested in this stream. So do you have any suggestions on how do I prepare to change streams and what are the best grad schools globally that provide this spealization?
Speedwagon best grill I would suggest you finish your undergrad degree in Engineering because you will have an edge in IO. Especially if you know how to code, those skills can easily transfer. Also your background will help you in declaring a speciality. For instance, if you decide to pursue organization safety, your background in engineering will be especially relevant, giving you an edge with clients. Check out siop.org for grad school programs in IO
Also, have you considered human factors psychology? It’s the psychology of human interaction with systems, technology, and products. Many find it difficult to bridge the gap between engineering or tech and psychology so Having an engineering background provides you with an enormous advantage in this field. It’s also very closely related to IO psychology.
I am doing my honors in HR next year (if I get in) I ant to end up in psychology in the future. Can I do my masters in I/O and hopefully do another degree in psychology
@@user-ls2jg7vl2h yeah, i’ve had an internship as an Auditor (type of accountant) for a year. I switch my major because i look at documents all day. The most reward and intersting part was collecting data and navigate these information systems to collect samples and then use descriptive stats to issue recommendations for efficiency, compliance, and risk management. My Coworkers were all 20+ years experience and they said they all got to teach to the “pen and paper” before doing things on the computer.
I have a question. For io psychologist , would a psychology major be required or would other disciplines help? Also, would you suggest someone to have experience in buisness before getting a masters an io or can you go straight to getting a masters?
Psychology is always a great major to have when entering grad school but other BA's such as business, sociology, or HR are good areas. As long as you get exposure to applying science to practice in real situations. Plus grad programs in IO do a great job in preparing you for experience. If you want to take a break before entering grad school it is nice to get some experience if possible. However, I would not say it is absolutely necessary as I did not have much IO experience before entering my masters degree.
I have a question. I am a human development and family studies major with a minor in psychology. To go inot io psych, wouls I beed to switch my major to psychology?
Amanda Ogbureke If you can take/have taken classes relevant/similar to IO (stats, research methods, IO) you should be fine. Just briefly explain in your statement of purpose why you’re interested in IO and the experience you have with it thus far.
This video was so helpful! I’m interested in I/O Psychology masters program as well. I wanted to know if you thought or had any information on the demand of this kind of psychologist going forward with the pandemic going on being as theirs so much job loss happening and predicted to continue.
Tysm for this video !! I'm in Masters degree of psychology..and I also wanted to become a IO psychologist...and also wanted to work as a HR in multinational industries..plz gives me suggestions about pursuing a great job and big post in industrial area❤️ what kind of skills be required for this?
Hi Ajit, are you studying in India? If yes, could you please let me know which college you are studying from and could you please give me some advice on colleges/ how to get into IO psychology? I've looking to join MA in IO psych in 2021, have completed my BBA last year
Thanks a lot for making this video it was very helpful, but I sitll have some quenstions that make me confuse. Most of i/o psychologist say when they graduate they can work in HR ,and when I do some research I saw that it is more common field that they work, but you emphasized in video that we can work in lots of field, can you give some specific examples about it ? And do you think that we can find a job when we graduate? Thanks in advance, love you ❤️
Hivda Ancu A lot do go into HR however others go into consulting, data scientist, and other related positions. Not all is HR. You gain a variety of skills so it applies to a lot of different positions.
@@JessicaJane4 Hi, Jessica. I'm right now in Software Testing. Is it a good idea to straight away get into Masters in Data Science or should I do Masters in I/O Psych before that? Data science is getting huge nowadays but I want to know what significance I/O Psych brings?
@@RemoRam it depends what you want to do. what is your career goal? what are you passionate about? are you more into working with technology and coding or are you into change management and hiring processes? I have an IO psyc master's degree and I work more hands on with employees and management where as a data scientist seems to spend majority of their time consulting with management and have way more knowledge about computer tech/software. Check out this vid for a more in depth look at the role a data scientist plays : ruclips.net/video/xC-c7E5PK0Y/видео.html ***hope that helps with figuring out which one more aligns with your career goal and passion, wishing you the best on your endeavors =)
Rama Lingam As an IO psychologist we learn that skill and become data scientist. You will see a lot of IO Psychologists in data scientist positions. In IO you learn a lot of skills you can use in a variety of fields. However, I am not familiar with data scientist programs and what all they have to offer.

Can iO psychologist work in companies such as Google, Amazon, Apple, Manufacturing companies etc. I actually was to be an Apple Inc organizational psychologist . Do you know or heard people going to work for those type of companies?
To get into a graduate program I’d say def statistics and research methods. It’s great to get some back in psychology in general and maybe some business classes if possible
Im going into the psychology world for school, switching from a criminal justice major. I would like to know what classes and or related fields to start applying for, as in what would help me to get to the I-O Career path. I like how there is a wide variety of jobs and practices there is under this topic of job field. New student in college tips as well with this if possible.
Beatriz Brito You don’t technically need either. But having at least a masters will you get you further than a BA. Plus you’d gain the proper skills needed to be an IO.
H!! Is a licensed required to be a io psych. Any good online PhD program suggestions? I already check siop.org. I have my master’s in mental health psychology so I’m wanting to transition into this field.
Technically a psychology license isn’t needed for IO psychologist. Some have it but as a majority no. I am not familiar with the quality of online PHD programs. You may have to connect with some of the alum of the programs you are interested and ask their opinion of the quality of the program.

When I took Intro to I/O Psych in undergraduate school, I knew it was for me=passed with an easy A. Right now I am trying to get in competitive programs in NYC/NYS. Thanks for this video.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am coming to the end of my undergrad degree and have been considering an IO masters as my next steps. This has helped me not only appreciate the challenging and trickier sides of the profession, but also assure me that I am keen on pursuing this further. Amazing content and greatly appreciated!
So happy I can help! Goodluck on your journey ☺️
Getting clients in I/O Psych is a real pain, even at the PhD level.
Thank you so much for this I decided I wanted to do this but was still unsure im 100% sure now
This video is super helpful thank you! 🙏🏽
You're so pretty!
Thanks for the great video! I am a first-year college student who is interested in psychology but is unsure of where to go with it. I will definitely be heavily considering I/O Psychology now!!

Thanks for sharing! I hope you make more of these helpful and personal experience videos in the near future :)
I had a auditing in a mortgage company. Basically what i did is internally review the company. When i left i realized i didnt like 40hrs a week of accounting. However, i loved learning about how the organization functions moves together in coordinated fashion to achieve a goal. Our audit process was like an expanded version of the scientific.
I realized my skills in data analysis, computer information systems and stats were a great fit to I/O.
Good to see this video reaffirms my observations.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m a fourth year student in psychology and I’m interested in IO, but I’m not that great at stats. Or at least had a bad experience with a stats class in uni. Do you have any advice for me if I want to still pursue IO?
If stats is a weak point for you, I’d advise you get tutoring or spend extra time studying the concept. In grad school you’ll get a thorough understanding of stats and teachers are usually open to lending extra help or explanations. Don’t let stats deter you in pursuing IO.
RUclips University. Get good at stats and using Excel. That can be your Christmas learning.
I would give the opposite advice as someone who is bad at stats and is currently a MS in IO PSychology student. I am so ready to drop out, everything is stats and data analysis. It’s all about measuring behavior, that’s what differentiates IO from other fields. I hate to ve negative but I’ve never been more unhappy than since I started IO.
@@jessicaguillen9473 is that true? I have a friend pursuing Organizational Psychology and she isn’t smart at all.
When do the statistics classes start?
Chris Reynolds I am only speaking from my experience. You don’t have to be super smart, but if statistics doesn’t come easy to you, you have to be ready to put in the work and it is a ton. On average I spend about 6 hours per class outside of the 2hrs/class every week just reading the long articles and trying to understand the tables, etc. Scientific articles are a pain to read and everything connnects to statistics in this field at the end of the day. Don’t get me wrong I have gotten A’s in all my classes so far, but I have yet to enjoy at least 1 meeting. I have been a straight A’s student my whole college career. For me the stats classes started right from the first semester, data analysis, research methods, even my motivation class that she talks about here, while it was full of theory and I enjoyed it, all our projects still required using statistics. The main thing in this field is that they believe “no opinion matters unless you have collected and analyzed the data and have a report to back it up” this isn’t philosophy (my professors words) so it’s discouraging, because even when you do collect the data and analyze it, there’s so many tests to do to make sure your results are significant and valid and you can’t EVER claim you’re right because “there’s always room for error” and they believe it’s the beauty of it, since it’s science. I personally find it pointless! But I’m sure everyone is different and some people will like it.
Thank you! This was so helpful🥰
this is great and informitive, thanx! differently i'll check you're other videos.
nice video!
Girl, thank you so much
Thank you! This was very helpful and informative.
Thank you so much for this video! It really gave me the insight I need to make my decision of whether I should pursue this for my Ph.D. program. (I will be pursuing!)
Happy to hear that! Goodluck on your journey!
@@JessicaJane4 thank youuu !! Hope everything is going well for you as well
@@Kvndmj hey man a genuine question for you ....I am also interested in this field( currently doing a bachelor in Psychology) can you tell me if it is really important to do Phd to get into this field( how difficult it is to land a job?) Or a masters will be sufficient to get a job?
Thanks you.
I’m thinking of going for my masters in I/O right after my bachelors
Go for it!
Besides Psychology, what’s major is helpful if you want to be an I-O psychologist?
I think you would have to have some psychology experience but business classes would also look good.
Great video, thanks for the tips!
So I’m really interested in IO psychology and I love connecting with people but I’m just really bad at maths and statistics. Would that be a huge problem? Or can I work with a company as IO psychologist without too much of maths or statistics involved? Can you suggest a field which doesn’t require as much of the math and statistics skills?
fandomheart try not to be discouraged from the field because of statistics. Grad programs usually do a good job of teaching and preparing you to do the work. You could probably take the HR path or something in business, I’m not sure how much math is involved there but I don’t think they focus as much on stats as IO programs do.
I am a Master’s of Science in IO Psychology student who hates math and stats, so while I do agree with the previous comment that says you get prepared, please understand what that means, almost EVERY class you take will be about research, data analysis, statistics OHHHH SO MUCH STATISTICS. Also grad school is not like UG, they just throw piles of work and expect you to know it, so yea you get prepared but because you have to spend day and night studying stats. I HATE IT so much and I’m dropping out. Please consider taking a course on it before you get into it, it is all about stats.
@@jessicaguillen9473 Thank you so much for your advice! I’m really bad at maths and stats and considering that this field is pretty much all about that, I’ve decided not to take it
I am an IO psychologist (Ph.D) that has been practicing since 2005. I suck at math and bombed statistics. I found my place in qualitative research. Don’t turn away because of that. Also the O-side is less related to statistics. The O-Side is related to facilitating, retreats, focus groups. I still do research but it is qualitative and I also do focus groups and facilitated discussions.
@@474Cate Thank you for this reply. I initially did drop the idea of going for IO psych, but I recently thought of just giving it another shot and you replied to my comment at the perfect time. If you don’t mind sharing, would you say IO is a rewarding career in terms of pay? Do you feel like the ones who are more into quantitative earn better or anything of that sort?
Thanks for share
can you have your private practice when you are an io psycholohy ? or is masters better then phd?
I can say that I chose masters level in order to emphasize the 'practitioner' aspect of the 'scholar-practitioner' model, so that I would have the skills to work in a company. I don't think one is better than the other, it's more about what your career goals are. If you want to teach and do research a phd is probably best, if you want to work more directly with organizations using research and best practices masters is best, but you can always get a phd even if your masters program is meant to be a terminal degree. Oh, and you can be a contract consultant using the networking tools provided by SIOP membership, so that is similar to a 'private practice' in clinical psych. I don't know if that's helpful, but that's what I've learned so far in my program.
@@alohaXamanda hey! Thank you so much you gave me the answers I was looking for! Where are you doing psychology from?
Thanks for video keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
Thanks for the informative video! I do have a business background with MBA knowledge. I like many aspects of OIP, but wondering whether I'm eligible to do masters in this field.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.🌷
Is it possible to get a job after doing a masters in IO psychology or do we necessarily have to do PhD before doing a job ?!
Please answer!
Hi! Thank you so much for such an informative video! I'm an undergrad majoring in Psych, I'm just curious would you suggest minoring in business as well since the field overlaps with the business world quite a bit? Or would a minor in computer science be more helpful? Thanks so much for your video!
Both would have their advantages. Just depends on your overall goals.
Yes a minor will help. I’ve read that business classes help with grad school acceptance.
I changed to psych with two semesters left. I did not want to be an accountant. After a year internship, i realized the career i was pursuing was going to be demoralizing. Also, i worked in the internal audit department. Basically we review regulator compliance, risk management, and workplace efficiency. I loved witnessing my managers pitch these huge ideas for company wide improvements. However, i didn want to spend years doing the boring stuff to get to management.
I choose I/O psych because it applies everything im good at: data analysis, working with executive leadership, computer information systems. The future is with computers, however the people need to learn how use these tools to produce the most efficient products and services.

This video was so informational. Thank you for explaining this so well. I do have a question, I am going to be applying to colleges as an undergraduate freshmen. What would be the best major to choose that would set me up for IO Psychology? I am in between choosing a business or psychology major at the moment. I have always been set towards a business major, but this seems like the perfect career for me. Thank you.
Both
Yes both are good, if it’s easier for you major in psych and minor in business. That way you’d get introduced to research methods and statistics which are necessary classes and skills if you are looking to go to graduate school.
Hi Jessica!
I am really interested in IO psych and am considering enrolling in a masters program for it but I was wondering if there is always a lot of
Presenting to large groups or if there is a field within it that is more behind the scenes. I have severe social anxiety where I cannot present but I do very well with small groups or one on one types of encounters. I appreciate your time. Thank you!
Hi, presentation skills is a skill you can develop and it will be put into practice in grad school. But it is highly likely you will be presenting at one point during your career so do keep that in mind.

This is a great video.
Hello! Thanks for this insightful video, I 'm a high school student and I'm deciding my path for the future. I really like the field of io psychology but at the same time I also have a passion for neurology. I just wanted to know if neurology is used/applied at all in io psychology.
Glad it was helpful! I got your message on Instagram, I responded there but I’ll put my response here in case others are curious:
There seems to be a trend of intersecting neuroscience and org psychology in the realm of leadership. Although, I will admit I don’t know much about it. The impressions I have gotten so far from other org psychologists (which I haven’t talked to many about this so take it as you will) is that it is quackery. Apparently, there isn’t a lot of research on this but again I don’t know much about this.
Hey, this video was really helpful! Thank you for it. After watching this video, I'm 100 percent sure I want to be an IO Psychologist. I'm pursuing my BA in Psychology. I just wanted to ask: besides a good TOEFL score, do I need some esearch experience to get into an American university for masters in IO Psychology?
-love from India. ❤️
Research experience is helpful but not 100% required depending upon the program. Check out siop.org and look at their graduate master program requirements.
sajid
First of all, thank you so much for this video 🙏🏽🙏🏽 The school that I am thinking about pursuing my masters in I/O psychology is offering an MA. Is that typical for that type of degree especially since you said a lot of math - stats are required for this job.
What are your thoughts of working internationally as an IO psychologist? I love everything about IO psych but I want to make sure I can work and live abroad
Jovana L Hi thanks for watching! You can definitely do that. I/O psych is needed everywhere.
Amzing video, sorry if the questions repetitive for you but Im very interested in becoming an IO Psychologist but not sure where to start. I slacked off in HS and in my final year, I will most likely be going to be going to a community college. Im definitely majoring in Psych but can you provide any guidance on the steps I need go take to reach my self to a masters degree or PhD. Is there even a difference ?
Hi I will be doing a video on my journey to IO soon. I started off in community college so don’t be discouraged. Keep a look out for that video.

In which country are you working as I/O psychologist???
Does someone is study IO psychology online? If so, please let me know where?
liberty university
This video was definitely very helpful an informative. I am currently working to get my BA in Business Administration and minoring in Psychology (that is what my advisor suggest since they do not have I/O psych as an undergraduate major. However, If I can I want to avoid going to grad school. If I were to have an impressive resume that includes the skills/experience directly correlated in this field that companies could look past me only having a bachelors degree?
Have you looked into organization behavior? Its a business major that comes in contact with I/O psych. I believe that organization behavior is more of the day-to-day practice.
How much of the program is statistical? I'm not good at math, and I do not enjoy it. 😂😂
Thank you so much
Hello! Thank you for the video! I'm interested in I/O psychology, but at the same time, I'm interested in the followings; help people find the right career, how to gain motivation or hope in spite of difficulties in life, dating and marriage relationship, and help change social policy or system that leads to improve relationship in society. Do you think I could do those with I/O psychology master or PhD degree? Or, do you think I need to study another field of psychology to do those?
New Horizon You can def help people with finding the right career and possibly increasing motivation with IO. Although motivation is a beast on its own. The other stuff you might need to study another field. However, if you’re creative you can find a way to do all of it.
@@JessicaJane4 Thank you! Ok! So, what you mean by saying "Study another field" is I need to take another master in that field? Is there any alternative way to attain the knowledge of those?
I think your other interests that you mentioned has to do more with counseling psychology. I would say you need to look inside yourself to find out which of your interests you love the most and follow it. Do what makes happy😊 I am also currently doing my MSc psychology conversion program and torn between counselling and organisational psychology.
I am interested in IO psych but I am nervous for the workload. Will I be able to work and finish a PHD program or is that not doable? Is there a life work balancing while being in school and while working?
HiJessica thank you the lovely video,
tenzin yangzom Thanks for watching! With an IO psych degree you can still work in Human Resources. I suggest considering your overall career goals and comparing fields to see which is most compatible with your goals. Additionally, you do not have to be math savvy in my opinion. In my experience, I am not mathematically gifted but my professors did a wonderful job explaining. Just apply yourself and you’ll be fine!
Jessica Jane thanks for ur response, 🤗 I have those 2 degrees that I have mentioned before however I been working in an international airline as a cabin crew for 5 years so what field would u recommend since I have experience in customer service.
So based on that which masters program would u suggest as some people say u don’t really need a masters degree for HRM, so what masters degree would u recommend and which masters program has better future prospects. Thanks a lot in advance! ❤️
Is this a bachelor or masters ??
Hello Jessica amazing video!
I have one question I hope you don't mind answering. Can someone who has a masters in I/O psychology then get a Phd in Clinical Psychology after that?
Thank you!
Hey yeah I’m sure you can. You might have to start from scratch with your PhD program and provide rationale for the change. You def can tho.
Hello thank you so much for sharing this.
I however have a question.
I studied Linguistics and African Languages for my bachelors will I be able to cross to I/O Psychology?
I love to help people discover their purpose and find expressions for maximum impact but I did not study Psychology for my BA.
May you kindly advice on what to do?
Sure. Just be sure to get some research methods, statistics, and a couple of psychology classes if possible. If not make sure in your statement of purpose you explain why you’re pursuing IO and how elements of your experience and studies can translate to the IO. Goodluck!
Hey Jessica!! I loved your video it was very educational and helpful! I have a question! I m in the 3rd year of studying Hospitality and Tourism Management and i want to keep on my studies after getting my bachelor degree for Master studying IO. My question is: Can i work with a master degree at IO at general fields of businesses and organizations or only in the hospitality field? Because i m worried that because of my bachelor degree (Hospitality and tourism management) i wont have the chance working at other fields on IO!
You can definitely transfer I/O skills to other industries as long as it is relevant to the work we do.
I did Multivariate Statistics as my senior capstone project I analytics data sets and used Statistics I also took psychological Statistics I was looking into I/0 psychology because I was gonna get a masters in business my bachelor was in psychology

Go for it 🙏
Did you get a master's degree or anything beyond your bachelor's? I'm interested in consulting in IO psych and I don't know how much I'd make straight out of college so I'm strongly considering a master's degree. What do you think?
Thanks!
Yes I have a masters and am working on my PhD. Highly recommend them as you dive deeper into concepts and methods. Also it expands your network.
Jessica Jane My only problem with that is that I don’t like school and I don’t want to pay off more debt as well. So I’m kind of stuck at this point.

Can I still get the research skills if I don’t do the PhD
Hey Jessica, I am a student really interested in I/O Psychology. However, I am working for a large corporation at the moment and I hate corporate life. I really want to work in the healthcare stream, and do research on how to make the healthcare system more humane. Do you think I/O would be a good suit for me. I work in HR now and for the love of God I can't go back to HR. Is there any way to avoid it by going into I/O?
You could join a research and development team. There are ways to avoid being placed in HR but you’ll likely have to partner closely to them in some capacity.
Hi Jessica, is there a way to connect with you for an informational interview? You touched on so many critical points for this field of work that it opened my eyes completely. I am not a professional in the field of IO but am further developing my footprint in the business world and looking to regroup my path
Sure feel free to write me a few questions @jessybessy__
I have my Master's in Human Resources and Bachelor's in Commerce, I work as Full time Company HR. I feel the need to pursue Industrial psychology.
@Jessica do u think, my Masters will be considered and admitted, when I do not have a valid degree in Psychology field?
I do have the same question. Could you find your answer? I did MBA and I'm not sure whether it suites me!
Hi, I’m currently in my undergrad completing my bachelors degree. I’m trying to figure out potential complementary majors with a psych degree. I’ve heard a couple of people say business, and stats, but I am already a junior and I don’t think I’ll be able to complete those majors by the time of graduation. Do you have any recommendations for a double major interested in pursuing industrial psychology as a career? Thank you!
During undergrad I declared my psych minor junior year. If that’s possible do that for yourself and take a few psych classes including a stats and method class if you haven’t already.
Hi Jessica, I could use your insight on I/O Psychology. I’m looking to get into career path where I can use learning , technology , and design to help with team building, leadership, and personal development, and I want to work in a networking setting like workshops, conferences, retreats etc. I want to work with small business owners, and different entrepreneurs. I’m not good at math or stats at all, but I do want to help people with their work/ life balance . From your knowledge,would getting a Masters in I/O Psych be beneficial, and if so, how could I possibly break into this career? Also, your I/O psych content is very helpful, and good luck on your journey.
Hi Tekia, thanks for watching! Yes a masters could be beneficial for you as having credibility is always good. Also graduate programs tend to do a great job at teaching statistics. I myself am not too mathly gifted but stats was not too hard to grasp. In fact I enjoy the process of doing it now. Anyway you want to take it, networking is a big thing in this field which is something I am learning now. You are on the right track.
Thank you Jessica.
Hi Tekia, great question, I'm also interested in the same topics and am looking into applying to grad school this fall!
Thank you
Hello, you are beautiful! Thank you for this video. I graduated last year in IT engineering but, I think I don’t belong there. I am bad at mathematics. I want to become I/O psychologist.

Can US/ Canadian universities accept me?
If you meet their qualifications they will.
You said about AI...I'm curious how can AI be used in Human Resource field?..Heard about Data analysis & Big Data.. which can be used for effective Recruitments,Payroll.
Any more significances?
Yeah I heard from one of the SIOP conferences AI can be used for screening and recruiting applicants. I am not 100% abreast of it's influences though. You might have to do some research on it :). However, I do know it's a relevant topic right now.
Thank you for sharing. I am Looking into i/o phd but I truly struggle in math any advice?
Programs generally do a good job of teaching stats. Based on my experience in school, not everyone understands it entirely but you do have some peers who do and will help you, along with your professors. You will learn the principles and application of those. Try not to let stats hinder you if this is something you really want. If you’re open to learning and apply yourself, you’ll get it.
Does it pay better in comparison to clinical psychology?
Yes
If I get my bachelors will I be able to get good jobs ?
Hello, first of all great video! I am currently an undergraduate student pursuing an Engineering degree and I am pretty interested in this stream. So do you have any suggestions on how do I prepare to change streams and what are the best grad schools globally that provide this spealization?
Speedwagon best grill I would suggest you finish your undergrad degree in Engineering because you will have an edge in IO. Especially if you know how to code, those skills can easily transfer. Also your background will help you in declaring a speciality. For instance, if you decide to pursue organization safety, your background in engineering will be especially relevant, giving you an edge with clients.
Check out siop.org for grad school programs in IO
Also, have you considered human factors psychology? It’s the psychology of human interaction with systems, technology, and products. Many find it difficult to bridge the gap between engineering or tech and psychology so Having an engineering background provides you with an enormous advantage in this field. It’s also very closely related to IO psychology.
I am doing my honors in HR next year (if I get in) I ant to end up in psychology in the future. Can I do my masters in I/O and hopefully do another degree in psychology
Yeah IO is a branch of psychology.
When you decide to become IO psychologist ?
Stats its boring in the classroom, fun in really life.
I think stats in classroom so that gives me even more of a push that it’s gonna be amazing in real life
@@user-ls2jg7vl2h yeah, i’ve had an internship as an Auditor (type of accountant) for a year. I switch my major because i look at documents all day. The most reward and intersting part was collecting data and navigate these information systems to collect samples and then use descriptive stats to issue recommendations for efficiency, compliance, and risk management.
My
Coworkers were all 20+ years experience and they said they all got to teach to the “pen and paper” before doing things on the computer.
I have a question. For io psychologist , would a psychology major be required or would other disciplines help? Also, would you suggest someone to have experience in buisness before getting a masters an io or can you go straight to getting a masters?
Psychology is always a great major to have when entering grad school but other BA's such as business, sociology, or HR are good areas. As long as you get exposure to applying science to practice in real situations. Plus grad programs in IO do a great job in preparing you for experience. If you want to take a break before entering grad school it is nice to get some experience if possible. However, I would not say it is absolutely necessary as I did not have much IO experience before entering my masters degree.
I have a question. I am a human development and family studies major with a minor in psychology. To go inot io psych, wouls I beed to switch my major to psychology?
Amanda Ogbureke If you can take/have taken classes relevant/similar to IO (stats, research methods, IO) you should be fine. Just briefly explain in your statement of purpose why you’re interested in IO and the experience you have with it thus far.

And do you think that we can find a job when we graduate? Thanks in advance, love you ❤️

H!! Is a licensed required to be a io psych. Any good online PhD program suggestions? I already check siop.org. I have my master’s in mental health psychology so I’m wanting to transition into this field.
Technically a psychology license isn’t needed for IO psychologist. Some have it but as a majority no.
I am not familiar with the quality of online PHD programs. You may have to connect with some of the alum of the programs you are interested and ask their opinion of the quality of the program.
