Considering that college is a time when you’re supposed to be working towards having a productive adulthood, a whole lot of self-destruction seems to be going on. It must be hard for the health nuts to fit in. If you prefer 8 glasses of water a day to keg stands, celery sticks to buffalo wings, and the Nintendo Wii to the Xbox, then you’ll be a lot more comfortable in an entry level job at Rodale than you will be at a frat party. Rodale is a “global media company with a heritage, mission, and authority dedicated to the health and wellness of the individual, community, and planet.” They publish magazines such as Men’s Health, Women’s Health, Organic Gardening, Prevention, and Runner’s World. They’re also the largest independent book publisher in the U.S.

Healthy in Mind, Body, and Career

Although traditional publishing isn’t the healthiest industry, health and wellness is an area that continues to do well. Rodale is in the right niche, and they’re not resting on their laurels – they’re building out a strong portfolio of branded web properties to ensure that they stay at the forefront of health and wellness media. They’re also keen on developing young talent, as you can see with their Internship program and the entry level jobs that they offer. Rodale currently has a number of job openings that appear to be well suited to new college grads. Although most of the jobs include some sort of previous work experience requirement, we think that most of you probably have done enough in college and internships to be ready for the jobs. Take a look at the job descriptions, and if you think that you have what it takes, don’t be afraid to apply even if you don’t fit their “requirements” exactly.

Right now, Rodale is looking for an Assistant Customer Marketing Manager (Emmaus, PA), an Assistant Market Editor for Women’s Health, (Emmaus, PA), an Online Marketing / Sales Development Manager for Runner’s World (New York, NY), an Online Video Producer (Emmaus, PA), and a Web Producer (Emmaus, PA). You can apply for all of these jobs online directly from their descriptions, or you can browse Rodale’s Job postings for more opportunities, if none of these get you excited.
