A typical job search in today's economic climate can take six to nine months, from the moment you start your job search until you begin your new job. To be successful, you'll want to start thinking about your career and job search as soon
as you start your program. Our Career & Employer Services team can you prepare for and pursue a career in public health. We offer career advising sessions, resources to help you in your job search, and networking opportunities.
In addition to these resources below, our Colorado State University and University of Northern Colorado students also have free access to services on their home campus. For more information, view our
career services policies.
Whether you’re looking for a full-time or part-time job or don’t know where to begin, our job board platform—Handshake—is here to help. Set up your profile and explore the resource library for tip sheets on resume and cover letter development, interview questions, salary negotiation strategies, and many more helpful resources. Once you are set up in Handshake, you can also schedule an appointment to meet with us. Career advising sessions range from 30 minutes to one hour and can cover a range of topics.
Current ColoradoSPH students can log into Handshake automatically using our university's single sign-on process and cuanschtz.edu email address.
