This chapter provides readers with critical insights into the nuts and bolts of conducting a job search. Specific actions that industrial-organizational master’s students can take to execute a successful job search are provided. Actions in graduate school that lay a foundation for a successful job search include developing an elevator speech, pursuing internships (paid or unpaid), participating in applied projects, and ensuring a professional social media image. Strategies for completing an application, using applicant tracking systems, writing résumés and cover letters, responding to phone screens, preparing for interviews, and demonstrating job offer etiquette are provided. These strategies enable most job seekers to land one or multiple job offers within six months of graduation.

This chapter uses survey data from industrial-organizational (I-O) master’s graduates and their employers to identify essential competencies for success as an I-O practitioner. In addition to core I-O knowledge and skills, I-O graduates and their employers rated enabling competencies of oral communication, business acumen and consulting skills, and project management as most critical. Ethics and business/technical writing likewise were highly rated. By work sector, the top competencies identified by graduates were job analysis (in the government sector), data analysis (in the education sector), project management (in the nonprofit sector), and consulting skills (in the private sector and consulting). It is recommended that students seek I-O master’s programs that develop enabling competencies in addition to domain-specific I-O competencies.
