What are the employment directions of psychological counselors?

Psychological counselors can provide targeted development suggestions and give corresponding help from a psychological point of view. The following is my carefully arranged employment direction of psychological counselors, for reference only. Let's have a look.

1, universities

Ordinary colleges and universities are the main destination of future psychological counselors. In recent years, colleges and universities have paid more and more attention to students' mental health, and have set up public courses in psychology. As a teacher of public courses in psychology in colleges and universities, the employment of psychology graduate students has undoubtedly expanded. Postgraduates in psychology compete more fiercely for the position of counselor than students in other majors, but generally speaking, joining the party is a prerequisite.

2. Civil servants

It is generally the public security system that recruits psychological counselors as civil servants: public security bureaus, reeducation-through-labor centers, prisons, border checkpoints, etc. Are all possible places. Some units are very strict with employees' physical requirements, and some need to carry out physical fitness tests.

3. Enterprise

Psychological counselors go to enterprises that focus on headhunting, enterprise consulting and human resource management. Postgraduates in psychology are different from students majoring in human resource management. Psychological counselors advocate humanized management, which is complementary to students majoring in human resource management. Psychological counselors can also engage in market research, but the number is relatively small, generally more than undergraduates.

4. Primary and secondary schools

Undergraduate students are generally recruited, and the psychological counseling department is mainly used as a "vase" to cope with the inspection of the education department, so the future is not optimistic and the income is low, so the general psychological counselors are very disdainful, unless they can't find a job, they are generally not considered.

5, psychological counseling workers

Judging from the current situation in China, the domestic industry simply engaged in psychological counseling may not be able to maintain a certain standard of living, and it needs to develop if it wants to have the wages of foreign counterparts.
