Career Transition Resources

Rollins recognizes that many of our alumni have been affected by the recent wave of federal layoffs. The Office of Advancement and Alumni Engagement has compiled resources for Rollins alums who are now entering a career transition. Below you will find links to recorded webinars, job boards, resume templates, names of alumni who offer professional coaching and financial planning, and more. If you would like to recommend a resource or have a service to offer, please email us at sphalumni@emory.edu

Webinars

Our webinar library houses recordings of all our career development webinars, including one on Navigating Transitions and Sector Changes.

The Emory Alumni Association also has a library of webinars you can check out.

Job Boards

Rollins' Public Health Employment Connection is a free job board you can use to search for employment opportunities.

APHA's CareerMart lists jobs and other professional services to help you build and manage your career.

Public Health Resources is a one stop shop for public health opportunity, from jobs, internships and fellowships to trainings, courses and conferences. You can also follow on Instagram or on LinkedIn
