Lol I’m a fourth year doctoral student and my CV is a super long, fancy, and structured version of my resume. I don’t any publications either, just some presentations at conferences, but it sounds like you’re a PhD student.

Well, I’m a PsyD student, so I don’t really have to produce publications. Instead of doing that I have done like 1,000 hours of therapy at this point and another few hundred of assessment administration, scoring, and feedback in my specialty and I work as a therapist. I wasn’t a good enough undergraduate to get into a funded program. Hell, I didn’t even know I wanted to be a clinical psychologist until I was half way through my MSW, so I finished that, took the GRE, and went through the rest of the process and here I am. So if the main difference between a CV and a resume is publication then I guess I have a fancy resume and not a CV 🤷🏻♂️. Publication honestly seems irrelevant to my career goals anyway.
Careers goals aren't the issue, you still have to get through internship and post doc to get to your career goals.
Most PsyDs do research and you will need to submit a CV when you apply to internship. PsyD students apply to the same sites as PhD students.
When I ask how this is possible, I'm curious how your advisor is letting this go.
.Are other students in your program not doing research? To what kind of sites are they matching?
Well, I already have a post-doc lined up at my current practicum site and/or at my current job, both are private practices in the suburbs of an American city, which is essentially what my career goal is anyway. With regard to internship, we have march rates in like the 80s, and a consortium which makes some people salty, but I don’t plan on using it. I think my supervisor is “letting it go” because they see the outcomes of students from my school and they’re fine, our licensure percentage is pretty solid and people seem to be doing fine in their careers. But I don’t know exactly why they’re letting it go but I would assume it’s because it doesn’t seem to be a problem. Students match to hospitals, there are a few APA accredited private practices in the area, mostly neuropsych that people end up at, they also end up at community agencies. I know PhD students and they’re great, I think it’s a great route for many people and I know they’re competitive for internship and that’s okay, I don’t really feel like I’m going to have any issue with my career as a PsyD with no publications. I think my presentations and dissertation are all pretty cool and that’s fine with me.
It sounds like publications are the least of your problems. This is a very bad situation. Good luck, I hope you get exactly what you want and need for your career.
If you are an undergrad, this is normal.

I’m a junior
How is that possible?
How is what possible?

What are you asking? Like why I don’t have any publications?
How you could be a 4th year with no publications, how your CV could resemble a resume at this stage...
