From PsychWiki - A Collaborative Psychology Wiki
Considering that finding and obtaining employment is probably the single most important endeavor for everyone in our field, you would think there would be a centralized database of information or some easy way to find about how to get a job and what jobs exist!
With PsychWiki we make that happen because the fact that anyone and everyone can add information to this webpage means we can create an ever-expanding compendium of information.
