Public health job titles and postings are not as standardized as they are in many other fields. Another issue is that many public health organizations use different terms to describe similar roles. So what happens when your search is no longer yielding results?
Fortunately, there are simple strategies for finding job opportunities in the public health field beyond the obvious ones. When you’re stuck, try generating specific and general job titles to search for with this formula which includes the prefix (topic) and suffix (functional duty).
Once you have your job search terms, using a Boolean search strategy can help you to combine different job titles and keywords to yield more specific results.
Find out more in this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast.
