Recent MPH grad struggling to break into the public health/healthcare job market any advice?
​
Hi everyone! I graduated in May with an MPH in Epidemiology (minor Biostatistics), and I also have a background in clinical dentistry.
I’ve been looking for jobs since around March and have been applying, networking on LinkedIn, reaching out to recruiters, and trying different approaches. I’m open to clinical research, epidemiology, healthcare/data, and other roles where I can use my background honestly, I’m just trying to find a place to get my foot in the door.
It’s been pretty frustrating, especially when you have bills to pay ;-;. I’ve had some advice from career services and have been trying to learn as I go, but I’m wondering if I’m missing something.
If anyone working in public health, clinical research, healthcare, or related fields has advice for someone trying to get started or would be willing to take a quick look at my resume I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks! 🙏
