Struggling to get past Assistant Psychologist interviews?

You’ve written the applications on Trac, gained relevant experience, and finally landed an interview. But for some reason, you’re not making it past the final stage—and you’re left wondering what’s going wrong, despite the mainly positive feedback from the hiring committee.

I offer Assistant Psychologist interview prep sessions to help you feel more confident, communicate your experience effectively, and finally secure the role you’ve been working so hard towards.
