Entry Level Psychology Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level psychology job?
Start by highlighting any supervised clinical hours, practicum placements, or research experience on your resume, since entry level psychology employers weigh hands-on work heavily. Tailor your application to the specific population each employer serves, whether that is children, adults, or crisis response. A relevant certification, such as mental health first aid or applied behavior analysis basics, can also set a new candidate apart.

Companies hiring entry level psychologys right now include Rutgers University, University of Virginia, and Sanford Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad mix of community mental health centers, behavioral health networks, school districts, and government agencies that regularly bring on new and junior staff.
