Help! Im having trouble finding an entry level research job. I’ve sent out resumes to universities, polling organizations, and hospitals. Yet, Im having difficulty obtaining an entry-level job. My resumes and cover-letters have been looked over by professionals in resume writing and all have found the resume to be excellent. If anyone has an idea of wherei could find research jobs, I would appreciate it greatly.

I would contact your nearest universities, and talk to the schools of psychology and poly sci (talking to the department secretaries should be sufficient). Find out if anyone there is on a grant, and needs to hired a paid RA (research assistant). The pay isn’t great, but it gives you some experience to put on your resume, and it at least pays something while you are still looking.
