Below is a curated set of resources to guide undergraduate students through the process of applying to U.S.-based graduate programs in I-O psychology. Keep in mind that each institution may have unique requirements, such as combined versus separate personal and research statements, varying length guidelines, or GRE expectations, so these materials should be viewed as general guidance rather than a definitive checklist.
How to get into grad school in I-O psychology - Dr. Richard Landers (this is part of a series of blog posts meant to cover the journey from sophomore year to first year of graduate school)
Dr. Craig Rodriguez-Seija's annotated personal statement (this is geared towards clinical programs, but still useful)
Examples of personal/research statements (same as above; most statements refer to clinical and health programs)
These are my job market documents, which were instrumental in helping me secure a position during my first year on the I-O psychology job market. However, my experience applying for business school roles was quite different —I received only a few first-round interviews and no flyouts. These materials are tailored for the North American R1 tenure-track faculty job market. If you are targeting other types of positions (e.g., teaching-focused institutions or universities in Europe or Asia), you will need to adapt them significantly. Feel free to reach out if you have questions, and best of luck on your job search!
