Finding Job Opportunities After Completing Your Public Health Program: How to Get Experience Without Experience


Listen Later

For recent graduates looking for employment opportunities, landing an entry-level job that requires experience can be a frustrating obstacle. In the previous episode, we covered some important factors to consider when pursuing a PhD or DrPH, and some tips to help you stand out in an interview. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Dr. Greg Martin remains to switch gears in our discussion to talk about how recent graduates can:

  • Leverage informal experiences in job applications and interviews; 
  • Secure internships, practicums, volunteer work, and field experiences;
  • Identify opportunities in global health consulting; and
  • Learn about future opportunities in global health security and pandemic preparedness
