Not quite mine, but heard it a few weeks ago and now use it.

Psychology is the study of the human mind and behavior (..in order predict, control, etc.); I/O psych is about the study of an organization's/business mind and behavior...

“The scientific study and application of human behavior in the workplace, with the goal of making work suck less. I specialize in ____(your specific area of expertise), so I do that by _______(example)”

I rarely mention I’m an I/O psychologist except on my résumé because it sounds pretentious and it’s misleading… so… “I lead organizational research and design programs to improve the employee (or customer) experience and drive performance.” … The type of programs depends on the area - talent assessment, training and development, employee engagement, performance management, process improvement, customer experience, operations, etc.).

When you say you “make work suck less,” I interpret that as employee engagement.

You did an interview and your interviewer apologized that the travel time 180minutes was much higher than 30minutes scheduled time for the interview and that It could have been done remotely, but she has to follow the process. I am still waiting for feedback though.

Is this just a humane demonstration?
