The Psych Student Survival Kit

Every week, I get messages from psychology students asking the same handful of questions: How do I write a CV that doesn’t look like everyone else’s? How do I email a professor without sounding awkward? Where do I even find internships? What actually happens on placement?

I built this kit to answer all of it — properly, not with a generic template dump.

The Psych Student Survival Kit is a 30-page guide built specifically for Indian psychology students, covering everything between “I love psychology” and “I have a career in it.”

What’s inside:

• A psychology-specific CV template (not a generic corporate one) with a full writing guide and weak-line → strong-line examples

• 7 ready-to-send cold email templates — research assistantships, internships, follow-ups, mentorship requests, and more

• A full career roadmap: UG → PG → RCI licensing → practice

• Where to actually find internships and research opportunities (beyond the obvious)

• Interview prep — real questions to expect, and what to ask them

• What to expect on your first clinical placement

• Case documentation basics (the mistakes almost every intern makes)

• Ethics & boundaries for students in training

• Red flags to watch for in placements and “opportunities”

• Building your professional presence — LinkedIn bio templates, short bios for forms and conferences

• A supervision hours log to track your training from day one

• A personal statement template for PG admissions

• Weekly reflection & goal-setting sheet

• Reference request & thank-you email templates

• Case presentation & conference abstract templates

• A glossary of placement terminology, quick-reference checklists, and journaling prompts

Every template is genuinely fill-in-and-use — no fluff, no filler pages.

Who this is for: UG and PG psychology students in India, anyone applying for internships or RA roles, and anyone about to start their first clinical placement.

Delivered as a PDF you can keep forever and return to at every stage of training.

What you’ll get:

1. 1 PDF file (30 pages, instant download)
2. Fully editable structure — copy templates directly into Word/Google Docs
3. Lifetime access, no expiry
