graduation as well as coaching me to have confidence in the application and

interviewing process.” (MHA)

• “My visits to the office were not only helpful with resume and interview preparation

but were also a confidence booster and a source of hope that I will eventually find

the job that I love. I am now working in the role of my dreams so thank you for all the

help.” (HPM)

process.” (POPFAM)

It’s a Great Time To Start a Public Health or Health Administration Career!

57

During COVID-19 “lockdown” (March-April 2020),

there were up to 31% fewer job postings per

month nationally

…BUT during the same time period

The number of job postings for people with

Master’s degrees in public health INCREASED!
