Entry Level Psychologist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level psychologist job?
Start by highlighting any supervised practicum hours, internships, or research assistantships on your resume, since hands-on clinical or research experience carries significant weight at the entry level. Tailor each application to the setting, whether community mental health, school psychology, or research, and make sure your licensure status or candidacy is clearly stated. A strong faculty reference and a concise cover letter explaining your theoretical orientation can also give you a meaningful edge over other new graduates.
Which companies hire entry level psychologists?
Companies hiring entry level psychologists right now include LifeStance Health, Intellect, and OU Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from community mental health centers, hospital systems, school districts, government agencies, and research institutions that maintain active entry level pipelines for new graduates and pre-licensed candidates.
