Find the Right Job. Build the Right Connections.

Looking for your next opportunity in public health? Start strong by going straight to the source! Check organizations’ official websites first—these postings are usually the most accurate and current. Professional associations also host specialized job boards designed for careers in our field. These platforms are far more reliable than commercial job sites, and your application is more likely to reach the right people.

But here’s the secret: don’t stop at the application. Networking matters. If you know someone at the organization—an employee, board member, or even a past collaborator—reach out! A quick message letting them know you’ve applied can make a big difference. No connections yet? No problem. Email me, your advisor, program director, or course director. We’re here to help you build those bridges.

Pro Tip: Treat your job search like a two-part strategy:

  1. Formal applications through trusted sources.
  2. Informal outreach to strengthen your visibility and connections.

Finally, keep an eye on the list below—it’s updated regularly. Positions open and close quickly, so check back often to stay ahead of the curve.

You’ve got this! Every application is a step closer to your next big opportunity.
