In my current position I can use both the scientific and creative skills that I developed whilst I was studying. Amanda chose to study psychology because it covered such a broad range of areas and presented her with a variety of career options. Now, at the age of 25, she finds herself managing market research projects and making strategic marketing recommendations to some of Australia's largest companies. It's a job in which she could never get bored. In a typical day I write reports and prepare presentations for clients about our research findings, set up questionnaires and pilot test surveys.
Nothing is clear cut.
One day I'm writing and the next day I'm giving a presentation in front of 30 executives. In the future Amanda hopes to continue her work in market research and is also interested in pursuing her other interest area, industrial and organisational psychology.
