As a graduate of the MOrgPsy course in its second year at Macquarie, I am incredibly pleased that the course and the profession is getting the traction and recognition it deserves!
I have employed and continue to employ Organisational Psychologists in our field of User/Customer Experience in Sydney and Singapore. I believe that there is a massive opportunity for this skill set in the workplace and equally in the digital and online space where user experience researchers are in very short supply.
We continue to support Prof Williams, and other researchers in many disciplines at Macquarie University, with eye tracking. It is a technology that provides Organisational Psychologists with an amazing opportunity to apply research in a highly valid and reliable way; that business people understand and fall in love with.
There are numerous businesses in Sydney and Melbourne that desperately need Organisational Psychologists, with eye tracking backgrounds, in user experience research. These include Commonwealth Bank, Telstra, GE, Australia Post, TAL, and my business.
Studying Organisational Psychology at Macquarie University was the best choice I have made in my psychology career and you should make it yours too.
