The Book That Will Change the World

Job searching can often be considered both a science and an art. The most effective job search strategies involve getting organized for the process and identifying job opportunities that match your interests and qualifications. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we reveal some hidden job search strategies you can use to find your next career opportunity in public health or global health, such as:

• Platforms to use for job searching and identifying opportunities 
• Networking to learn more about job-specific roles and responsibilities associated;
• Differences between internal and external job postings;
• Managing expectations in the real world as a recent graduate with little experience;
• Getting the most out of your practicum experience as a student; and
• Taking advantage of short-term contracts or temporary positions.
