Campus interview Outfit gallery

A gallery of photos of individuals dressed for campus interviews from 2018-2023. This is designed to be descriptive, not prescriptive, and just provide a sense of norms if you’re interested!

If you’re willing to contribute to this gallery, email me or respond to this Twitter thread with your photo!

Alt-Fac career snapshots

A collection of brief surveys of Psychology PhD’s in careers beyond faculty positions, from full time advising to program evaluation to user experience research. Each person describes what their job involves, the best and worst parts of the job, how they prepared for it, and what they wish they had done differently. Many provide contact information so students can follow up to get more information.
