Popis: While methods courses tied to human-computer interaction or usability may provide some fundamentals to prepare students for success in industry, other skills are better learned on-the-job. The following industry professionals will provide insight to help psychologists succeed in an applied role. The insights start with fundamentals to get started: learning business goals and new methods; folding business goals into your research; becoming comfortable with less rigor compared to academia; and learning to communicate verbally and visually in a concise manner. Next, it moves into key strategies to develop into an impactful researcher: understanding your limits and navigating politics; and focusing on your brand to build strong relationships and create lasting impact.
