    Fall 2019 Clinical Psych Interview Invites

    in Psychology Forum

    Posted · Edited by dancedementia

    I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but for folks who struggle with armpit sweat, I HIGHLY recommend these shirts:

    I have hyperhydrosis (basically means I sweat like nobody's business) and these shirts absorb it all. Practically magic. I bought myself 7 (one for each day of the week) and they have never failed me. They're thin enough to wear under a dress shirt without being uncomfortable.

    Same, it’s such a weird feeling. Like you have this false sense of hope but at the same time the sadness and anxiety of knowing you’re most likely not going to have a chance (dunno if that holds true for you or not but I definitely sympathize).

    That's exactly how I feel haha. I just wish some of my programs would go ahead and reject me already - at least then I would have some finality and stop hoping.

    o_o they don't have formal interviews? Or invite candidates on a case by case basis?

    The POIs take care of their own interviews and make their own acceptance/rejection decisions. I'm not sure if the Skype interviews are the ONLY ones they do, or if some POIs ask for you to come in person. Either way, there is no one day where all candidates come to interview with a structured schedule.

    Hi guys, 

    I've received an interview invite and it's happening soon. I am a person who loves bright color, like red and orange. I have a red suit which I want to wear it to my interview. I'm not sure whether it's appropriate?

    I think as long as you're confident and clean, it should be fine. I had a person in my interview group who wore a neon orange suit jacket and she ROCKED it.

    A poster who got a Rutgers PsyD interview mentioned their interview date was 2/21!

    Yeah but that poster was for Rutgers' School PsyD :( maybe that's where the misleading info came from - 2/18 must be Clinical and 2/21 must be School?

    EDIT: I just checked CUDCP's calendar, and that seems to be the case - 2/18 is Clinical and 2/21 is School: https://teamup.com/ks952632ef38687f3e

    Clinical psych right out of undergrad?

    How?

    Why?

    Has to do with level of training. For 7 Cups in particular, the "training" is literally clicking through a set of pages with information. Some folks don't even read it. There is no accurate test of knowledge (there's a fill in the blank quiz but it's nigh impossible to fail). There are no training sessions with live people. There's very little oversight and supervision. I used to be part of their "internship" program and most of my duties were spamming promotions on social media, posting random replies in the forum, etc. I've also been on the opposite end as someone seeking support and whew, the lack of training and oversight shows in the damaging responses I've received. It's not an isolated case either; I've spoken with several groups of colleagues about this and the verdict is clear: thank u next. 

    7 Cups is not the only platform which has this issue, but it is definitely the one that my colleagues and I agreed is damaging and we do not agree with it's model. NAMI's "support groups" used to be really bad too, but kudos to them - they increased their training requirements and are doing much better now, so I can support many of their initiatives. 

    CTL is better in that they have much better training - it's longer and you have to do observations and mock conversations before they let you handle "real" people, I believe. That said, i personally feel powerless in true "crisis" situations. Like, I would love to give you a referral to a local shelter or tell you about an MCOT, but..... I can't. All I can do is nod and say, "It sounds like you're really having a tough time." I question whether venting is truly beneficial for folks who are in crisis and desperate enough to text an anonymous line.
