Career Opportunities

Hey guys,
In our I/O lab as one of the tests we will be using an ability profiler from ONET for our research. After looking through the website I found something that was really interesting and applicable to us as students, especially if you are still undecided about your career choice.

The link above allows you to look up careers that you are considering taking up. It shows the outlook for the career you select as well as skills you would most likely need to work in that field.
If you are unsure of what it is exactly you’d like to do, you can take an interest profiler that links you up with possible careers most suitable to your likes and personality.
Hope this helps!

TedTalk How to Deal with Stress

I came across a Ted talk about stress that I found quite interesting and helpful. We all will undoubtedly come across stress, whether while studying for GREs, making graduate school deadlines, or juggling school, work, and life.  The talk with Kelly McGonigal discussions studies which have found that in changing your perceptions about the psychological onset of stress on your body can change and negative health effects of stress into positive ones of courage and resistance. Examples provided include thinking about stress as a positive and exciting challenge and your body’s reaction of an increased heart rate and sweating are there to help “pump you up” and get you ready to meet the challenge, instead of there to negatively affect your performance.
