What should a psychologist resume include?
Employers hiring psychologists in India check the degree first, then whether you hold Rehabilitation Council of India registration, which clinical roles require. They also read for supervised client hours, assessment tools you administer and the therapeutic approaches you use. A clear psychologist resume separates counselling, clinical and school settings, and describes caseloads without revealing anything about individual clients.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Intake and case formulation
- Cognitive behavioural therapy
- Psychological assessment
- Risk assessment and crisis response
- Child and adolescent counselling
From our sample resumes:
- Siddharth lists his RCI licence and M.Phil clearly, which is the first eligibility filter for any hospital clinical psychologist post in India.
- Aditi counts supervised sessions and group workshops rather than claiming experience she lacks, so a wellness centre can judge her readiness honestly.
