Internet Job Sites
The Internet is one of the most popular ways to find open positions. Check career posting sites and employer websites periodically to see the latest postings.

Public Health Schools Nationwide
In addition to University of Michigan resources and services, take a look at other SPH schools websites' for resources and postings. Some ASPH accredited schools offer reciprocity of career services.

Professional Organizations
Professional organizations and associations provide not only wonderful networking opportunities - many of them have job postings on their websites or in their newsletters.
Job Fairs / Conferences
Universities, professional organizations, and independent groups arrange Job Fairs and conferences throughout the year. These events provide networking or interviewing opportunities.
