Just discovered I-O and have a question about Graduate School

Good Morning,

I've searched a lot on this forum and I'm having trouble finding threads with my situation.

It seems like most people here are applying straight from Undergrad but I already have my Master's in Social Work (graduated in May). I concentrated in clinical work but currently work at a University as a Community Engagement Organizer. I've been interested in I-O for a while in theory but just found out it existed a few days ago! It seems like the perfect career track for me and I'm considering Graduate School in 2016.

So here's the potential problem. I do not have any research experience (besides classes in grad school) or publications. I'm wondering if the fact that I already have a Master's and 2 years of work experience when I apply will make up for that? Is there anything I can do to make my application stronger?

Thanks!
