lewin Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Existential-phenomenological Here are some lines to practice for your interview*: "Yo Schimel, I heard that TMT is old news and it's all about uncertainty now." "Death is really only threatening because it makes people feel out of control. I bet if people felt in control over their deaths mortality salience wouldn't have any effect." "I'm really more interested in studying the meaning maintenance model. Can you introduce me to Steve Heine?" * Only do this if you'd rather not actually work with him.

MakeYourself Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I live in the US, and one of my advisers actually suggested that studying psychology in Canada might limit my career options. Can anyone currently in a Canadian psychology program speak to this? Specifically, is it true that going to school in Canada can make it difficult to get an academic job in the US? Your advisor is simply misinformed.
sparrowbirdie Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Wow, what a weird coincidence So nice to see! Sorry, I should of been clear, for me EP psych is Existential-phenomenological Exciting! There are quite a few profs here working on phenomenology, so even if you don't end up working with Jeff (as lewin has stated...somewhat jokingly?) then Cor and Don are good bets. The department is only just going through the files now, so hopefully you'll hear about an interview soon! Good luck! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!
lewin Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (as lewin has stated...somewhat jokingly? Maybe I am, and maybe I'm not. Is that threatening to your sense of meaning? If so, go derogate an outgroup and you'll feel better. Yes, I'm kidding. I do similar research from one of the non-TMT camps.
kbeadman Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Has anyone heard back from University of Western regarding I/O Psychology interviews? I know clinical interview invites have already been sent.
amanda_Fyi Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Exciting!

Thank you for the news/good luck wishes/offering to talk. It's getting anxious, but it's only been a month so I figure they're just starting to go through things now. Maybe I am, and maybe I'm not. Is that threatening to your sense of meaning? If so, go derogate an outgroup and you'll feel better. Yes, I'm kidding. I do similar research from one of the non-TMT camps. Haha I like your sense of humour. much needed in times like this!

Horslk2 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Has anybody heard anything from McGill lately (specifically the clinical program)? I had a Skype interview with my POI last Tuesday and heard via email from POI on Sunday (Feb 9) night that my application was approved and I should receive an offer "very soon". Applied to the clinical program and it's my top choice so I'm stoked!
