To friends who have moved on in the process: I wish you all the best as you move forward. I hope you get matched with your top placement. š¤
To friends who have not moved on in the process (myself included): Do not be discouraged. You can continue to apply for up to 2 years post graduation. Apply again next year.š
If you are past the 2 years graduation requirement, all is not lost. You can gain experience in different ways. You can find volunteer opportunities (locally and remote) to help you gain experience. Reach out to your public health/health departments and see if they are looking for volunteers. Sometimes we have to put ourselves out there and ask what help is needed. Idealist.org is a good website to find local and remote volunteer and job opportunities. If you are able, the Peace Corps is a great way to gain experience. I know many people who served (myself included), then went on to get masters in Public Health, and are doing some great work.
In short - just because this did not pan out for you, keep trying! I've always believed that when one door closes, another one will open, we just have to be on the look-out. Keep rockin' and strivin' friends!
