Choosing a Professional Role
Choosing a Professional RoleChoosing a Professional RoleThe field of psychology is vast.
With an advanced psychology degree, you can work in a variety of settings, including a
university, a veterans’ hospital, a prison, a school, or a private practice. Knowing what you
would not like to do is just as important as knowing what you would like to do.CLICK HERE
TO ORDER YOUR ASSIGNMENTTo prepare:For this Assignment, think about the various
occupations within the field of psychology, and choose one that most interests you. Refer to
Appleby, Millspaugh, and Hammersley (2011) and Appleby (2015), as well as your own
research. If you are interested in an area not mentioned in the referenced articles, please
discuss this with your Instructor before moving forward.To Complete this Assignment:BY
DAY 7Submit a 3-page paper that introduces your chosen professional occupation,
explaining what it is and why it interests you. Using information gathered from your
research, provide a description of the knowledge, skills, schooling, and characteristics one
would need to be successful in this position. Summarize some of the tasks you might be
expected to perform. Discuss what additional schooling, if any, is needed for this
occupation.Next, consider what steps you would need to take to continue to grow in your
chosen profession. Van der Heijden (2002) used three predictor variables to study how
employees might achieve professional expertise. Using van der Heijden’s definition of
professional expertise, describe what would make you an “expert” in your field. Explain how
the three predictor variables relate to opportunities for you to continue your professional
development (e.g., social networks that could be beneficial to you). These ideas should be
your own; do not copy text from the article. Rather, take the ideas discussed in the article
and explain how you might implement them.YOU MAY CHOOSE EITHER CLINICAL
PSYCHOLOGIST OR MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELLOR.PLEASE BE SURE TO REFER TO

Choosing a Professional Role.docx

  • 1. Choosing a Professional Role Choosing a Professional RoleChoosing a Professional RoleThe field of psychology is vast. With an advanced psychology degree, you can work in a variety of settings, including a university, a veterans’ hospital, a prison, a school, or a private practice. Knowing what you would not like to do is just as important as knowing what you would like to do.CLICK HERE TO ORDER YOUR ASSIGNMENTTo prepare:For this Assignment, think about the various occupations within the field of psychology, and choose one that most interests you. Refer to Appleby, Millspaugh, and Hammersley (2011) and Appleby (2015), as well as your own research. If you are interested in an area not mentioned in the referenced articles, please discuss this with your Instructor before moving forward.To Complete this Assignment:BY DAY 7Submit a 3-page paper that introduces your chosen professional occupation, explaining what it is and why it interests you. Using information gathered from your research, provide a description of the knowledge, skills, schooling, and characteristics one would need to be successful in this position. Summarize some of the tasks you might be expected to perform. Discuss what additional schooling, if any, is needed for this occupation.Next, consider what steps you would need to take to continue to grow in your chosen profession. Van der Heijden (2002) used three predictor variables to study how employees might achieve professional expertise. Using van der Heijden’s definition of professional expertise, describe what would make you an “expert” in your field. Explain how the three predictor variables relate to opportunities for you to continue your professional development (e.g., social networks that could be beneficial to you). These ideas should be your own; do not copy text from the article. Rather, take the ideas discussed in the article and explain how you might implement them.YOU MAY CHOOSE EITHER CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST OR MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELLOR.PLEASE BE SURE TO REFER TO PROVIDED RESOURCES: Appleby, D.
