On the Jobs Front
A running compilation of
some Iowa position openings that
may be of interest to our Psychology majors
I have been sending out emails to our graduating seniors, alerting them to positions or opportunities that I learn of that might be of interest to them. I decided to keep a running list of these, even though the positions will eventually be filled and the announcements will be out of date, because the list itself may be of interest to other Psych majors as they think ahead to their future job searches.

Finally, although this came in a few weeks ago when I was on vacation, one of our May graduates had this tip:

I just got a job at Z Wireless (Verizon premium retailler) and we're
looking for more people for "wireless consultants" - cell phone sales
people.  It's an hourly job + commission.  We're in both malls / one
by Walmart on Viking road.  I like the more application of psych, so
I'm finding this job really fun already.  They're opening more stores
soon, so the chance for advancement is pretty good.  If you would like
to include it in your next email, I'm sure someone might be interested
in the position.  =D   

Since there are multiple wireless carriers in this community you might try other providers as well.

Congratulations to all of you that graduated yesterday! I'm sorry that I could not be there to congratulate you in person, but my own daughter also graduated yesterday from the College of Design at Iowa State University. So I appreciate some of the angst that accompanies leaving the safe haven of college and going on to new ventures from both the perspective of a parent and the perspective of a professor and an advisor.
