Develop Professional Résumés

In order to demonstrate an awareness of psychological career alternatives in a community setting, you will develop résumés for each of the professional experts chosen for your presentation in the Week Three discussion. Please find Power Point Presentation Attached which includes the two professionals that I choose. Include relevant academic and professional experience included in the presentation that highlights their careers, appropriate skills, and expertise, but please also include (needs to be made up) educational credentials of your experts. Brief job descriptions identifying the major duties associated with each relevant work experience should also be included in the résumé. The job description format should be based on the Professional Experience section in the “Sample Resume for a Counseling Psychologist.” Each résumé should be two to three pages in length. You may use the resources available on the following web pages: Please see sample resume attached.

• Ashford University Career Services (http://www.apa.org/careers/psyccareers)
• American Psychological Association PsyCareers (http://www.apa.org/careers/psyccareers)
• Sample resume for a counselling psychologist

You may use additional sources for career information as long as they are credible. An example of a credible source for this information would include The Chronicle of Higher Education. Utilize at least two professional career-related sources as a basis for the information you will use to complete the required sections in the résumé. All sources must be documented in APA style, as outlined by the Ashford Writing Center.
