I've just moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from London. I'm a psychologist by trade and have begun a job hunt here. I've contacted many recruiters on LinkedIn, but no response. I've applied for quite a few jobs too but haven't heard back from any yet. I've gone by the book in my applications- tailoring it to the job description, selling my work experience in the UK, contacting professional bodies in California etc. I have permision from the Board of Psychology to apply for Psychological Assistnats posts, to accrue SPE, which I've highlighted on my CV. I'd really like help to know:
1. Is there some sort of time frame I can expect to hear within? Like with most job applicants, it's the wait that's antagonizing.
2. Is there anything else I can/should do to improve my chances? I've used JobScan on my resume and apparently I'm hitting between a 95-97% match on the jobs I'm applying for! I still haven't heard anything back, is there something I'm doing wrong?
3. What is the typical salary paid to psych assistants? I've applied for many kaiser posts, but cannot find salary information anywhere online.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
