The labor market is in continuous change, and Psychology is no exception..

If before the irruption of new technologies word of mouth was almost indispensable to make a living as a psychologist, something has changed in recent decades: now it is necessary to be creative when offering something different and have visibility in the digital world.

Psychologists in the information age

While it is positive that patients are recommended by their close circles and it is true that having good training and experience in the sector is crucial to perform a good professional job, having many masters and acquiring job skills does not guarantee success or a brilliant career as a psychologist.

To practice as a professional in this field it is necessary to go further, and that is why Psychology and Mind, with the help of Jonathan García-Allen and Bertrand Regader (two of the founders of the portal), and Miguel Ángel Rizaldos and Nacho Coller, two well-known psychotherapists on the internet, help us to discover the power of online visibility with their talk: "From the couch to the internet: how to be a psychologist in the 21st century".

The conference will take place at the University of Malaga next May 16, 2019 at 4pm, and anyone interested can attend after having registered by sending an email to. [email protected]

Why is it important to have online visibility?

Studying a degree in Psychology is an enriching experience both on a personal and professional level. But nowadays there is a lot of competition in this sector, so it is important to differentiate yourself and make yourself visible if you want to dedicate yourself to what you like in a professional way.

The motivation of many psychologists is to help other people, something that is complicated if not many people know us. Thanks to the emergence of the internet, social media and social networks it is possible to exploit new possibilities of promotion and reach many people who need our help or require our services.

The new reality gives us great opportunities for communication and interaction and any psychologist can benefit from it.. If you want to promote your psychology business or your own personal image as a psychologist, do not miss the opportunity offered by this talk.

The talk offers tips and tools for digital marketing and personal branding for psychologists.

XXI" aims to be a useful talk for students who are finishing their degree, recent graduates and those psychologists who are active and want to know how to present themselves to others and deepen digital communication, aware that many potential patients or clients navigate daily through social networks and search on Google for those clinics or psychologists that generate greater confidence. The reality is that those with greater visibility and better branding are the ones that arouse greater interest.

All this knowledge is necessary nowadays, but there are few university institutions that help their students to open their minds and make them aware of what they are going to find in the workplace.

"From the couch to the Internet: how to be a psychologist in the 21st century" has been made possible thanks to the commitment of the Psychology and Mind team and the University of Malaga, and especially the "Master's Degree in Selection and Talent Management" of this institution, one of the best masters in personnel selection in our country. This training has achieved a high rate of labor insertion of its students because it has been able to adapt to the technological needs of the Human Resources departments of the companies.
