<p>Happy Halloween! Yesterday we took a look at <a href="http://www.onedayonejob.com/jobs/mars/">Mars</a> and talked about Halloween candy, but today we&#8217;re going to take a different tack. Since we&#8217;re told from an early age that candy will rot our teeth, I figure that Halloween is the perfect time to discuss a dental non-profit. It&#8217;s also appropriate because many people would consider the dentist to be way scarier than even the most deranged Halloween costume. After a little searching, I came across <strong>Children&#8217;s Dental Health Project</strong>. They&#8217;re a relatively small Washington, DC based non-profit organization that &#8220;advances policies that improve children&#8217;s access to oral health.&#8221; Now, this definitely does not mean that I think that anyone should give out toothbrushes for Halloween, but make sure you brush after eating all that candy.</p>
<h3>Dental Hygiene for the Win</h3>
<p>Now, when I was growing up, I always thought it was ridiculous that I had two scheduled dental appointments every year to take care of my teeth, but only one annual checkup with the pediatrician for the rest of my body. Although I&#8217;m still tempted to that feel that way, I realize that most of us significantly undervalue dental health. The truth is that tooth decay at an early age will have significant negative impact over the course of one&#8217;s life. Considering the fact that of American children &#8220;one-quarter will have at least one cavity by the time they reach kindergarten and one-half by second grade,&#8221; we need to do better with our children&#8217;s dental health (and probably our own too). This is why Children&#8217;s Dental Health Project is actively working to: </p>
<ul>
<li>Prevent childhood tooth decay, because cavities are the result of a disease that is overwhelmingly preventable.</li>
<li>Promote solutions that are grounded in the best available research and supporting exploration when evidence is lacking</li>
<li>Engage policymakers and other decision-makers in addressing ongoing inequities in oral health and to implement cost-effective solutions.</li>
</ul>
<p>It sounds like a great organization, and although I don&#8217;t know if they&#8217;re hiring now, I think it would be worth reaching out to them to see if they have anything open—especially if you are a fanatic about dental health. Use their <a href="http://www.cdhp.org/about_cdhp/how_reach_us/how_reach_us">Contact page</a> to learn more about how to reach them.</p>

<p>Jason Seiden and I often refer to the work that we&#8217;re doing  with <a href="http://www.foundyourcareer.com/">Found Your Career</a>  and other courses that we&#8217;re developing as career triage. It&#8217;s a practical, informal, and just-in-time approach that gives you what you need when you need it. I&#8217;m sure that <strong>Triage Consulting Group</strong> (which is based in both San Francisco and Atlanta) chose their name for a similar reason, although it might also have something to do with the fact that they&#8217;re &#8220;financial consultants to the healthcare industry.&#8221; The company was started to serve the needs of hospitals, and they do this through 10 services that drive 98% of their revenue: Payment Review, Workers’ Compensation Review, Contract Analyses and Negotiations, Litigation Support, Clinical Denials, Medicare Review, Revenue Cycle Consulting, Silent PPO Review, Capitation Risk Pool Audits, and Government Compliance Audits, including Medicaid and TRICARE.</p>
<h3>Get Yourself in Triage</h3>
<p>Ok, that stuff doesn&#8217;t sound all that much fun to me, but if you have a mind for numbers and an interest in the healthcare industry, it would be absolutely fascinating work—especially given all the talk about healthcare reform right now. Triage Consulting Group is a relatively small company with somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 employees; however, they&#8217;ve been named  one of the &#8220;Best Small &#038; Medium Companies to Work for in America&#8221; by the SHRM and the <a href="http://www.onedayonejob.com/jobs/great-place-to-work-institute/">Great Place to Work Institute</a> for the last five years. <a href="http://www.triageconsulting.com/careers/career-path">Triage&#8217;s Careers site</a> definitely reflects this, as it&#8217;s loaded with in-depth information about <a href="http://www.triageconsulting.com/careers/working-at-triage">what it&#8217;s like to work for the company</a>. It&#8217;s definitely one of the most in-depth Careers sites that I&#8217;ve seen. They seem to do most of their recruiting on campus for their entry level Associate position, but they do have a page that allows you to <a href="http://www.triageconsulting.com/careers/apply-now">apply online</a>. Unfortunately, it says, &#8220;At this time, we are no longer accepting applications. Please check back with us in the summer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s summer now. Time to pounce. While other candidates are getting discouraged by this notice and waiting around until they&#8217;re told to apply, you should jump on this opportunity and see if you can network your way into a job with Triage Consulting Group. That&#8217;s the kind of stuff we teach in our &#8220;career triage&#8221; course, <a href="http://www.foundyourcareer.com/">Found Your Career</a>. We&#8217;ll leave it up to you how to make the first contact, but I&#8217;ll recommend that you start with their <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/companies/triage-consulting-group">company LinkedIn Profile</a> or their <a href="http://www.triageconsulting.com/about/the-triage-team/san-francisco">team page</a>.</p>

<p><em>This is a guest post by <a href="http://heatherhuhman.com/?p=120">Heather R. Huhman</a>. Heather is the media relations manager at a national health care professional association. She is also the <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-828-Entry-Level-Careers-Examiner">entry-level careers columnist for Examiner.com</a>, a career expert for the <a href="http://www.careerealism.com/1300-new-followers-6-more-experts-1-career-advice-tool-on-twitter-wellwe-think-so/" rel="nofollow">CAREEREALISM Twitter Advice Project</a>, the job search expert for <a href="http://www.campuscalm.com/blog/?cat=32">Campus Calm</a> and author of the e-book “<a href="http://heatherhuhman.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/genymeetstheworkforce.pdf">Gen Y Meets the Workforce: Launching Your Career During Economic Uncertainty</a>.”</em></p>
<p>What do financial services, home/building and healthcare have in common? All three fields can expect good things to happen when they “converge” with <strong>IMRE</strong>, a full service digital, advertising, marketing and public relations agency in Baltimore, Maryland. </p>
<p>Let’s start with their <a href="http://www.imre.com/financialServices">financial services practice</a>. Strategically expanded in July 2008 near the beginning of our country’s economic troubles, IMRE saw an opportunity for “financial services companies to gain market share.” Did you know you can buy wedding insurance from Travelers? IMRE won this client by proposing—no pun intended—to launch a campaign on Valentine’s Day about nuptial nightmares ranging from heart attacks to blackouts to hurricanes. They won the account and reached more than 74 million people with their messages. Like most public relations practitioners, I’m not a numbers person, but I do love weddings!</p>
<p>The “green” market is hot right now, so it makes sense for Arxx Corporation to be included in IMRE’s <a href="http://www.imre.com/homeAndBuilding">home &#038; building practice</a>. IMRE “moved Arxx away from a product message and positioned them as a longtime leader in energy-efficient solutions.” Despite being a midsized firm with only one office location, their client list in this practice is impressive—ranging from John Deere to The Home Depot to Target.</p>
<p>Their final practice area is <a href="http://www.imre.com/healthcare">healthcare</a>, which is also my specialty. What I like most about healthcare PR is that you feel like you’re helping people live life to its fullest with every tactic you use to reach them. IMRE’s clients in this sector mostly are nonprofit organizations, including American Red Cross, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Shady Grove Fertility.</p>
<p>Interested in any one of those practice areas? IMRE is extremely open about who heads up each, providing their biographies, fun Q&#038;A’s and e-mail addresses.</p>
<h3>Good Things Happen When You Converge with IMRE</h3>
<p>IMRE has two entry-level openings right now: a <a href="http://www.imre.com/home/career/id/7">WOM (Word of Mouth) Associate Account Executive</a> and another <a href="http://www.imre.com/home/career/id/8">Associate Account Executive</a>. If social networking is your thing, the WOM AAE position will be right up your alley. IMRE’s ideal candidate for this position? A “dynamic, creative and fun college graduate with a degree in communications or other related field and is an active Internet user who accesses social networks, blogs, forums and consumer reviews on a regular basis.” This person must also be a “self-motivated and detail-oriented team player and can often be found making YouTube videos just for fun.”</p>
<p>The other AAE position sounds a little more “structured” like you would find at a typical agency. IMRE seeks someone “with a degree in communications or related field and one to two years work or internship experience.” Candidates must also have “strong writing skills and be a team player who is results oriented, have an attention to detail, organized and able to juggle multiple priorities.”</p>
<p>Interested? Send your cover letter, résumé, salary requirements and writing samples to job&#115;&#64;im&#114;e&#46;c&#111;&#109;. Don’t forget to also fill out their <a href="http://imre.com/pdfs/IMRE_job_application_2009.pdf">job application</a>.</p>

<p>Happy Mother&#8217;s Day! It was a lot harder finding a mother related non-profit organization to feature today than I thought it would be, but luckily I came a cross the <strong>Family Health and Birth Center</strong> in Washington, DC. They are &#8220;a full scope birth center providing prenatal, birth, postnatal, gynecological and primary health care to women and their families,&#8221; and since what they do is all about motherhood, they&#8217;re a perfect fit for today. The reason that the Family Health and Birth Center exists is that there are often high rates of infant and maternal mortality in low-income areas. That is unacceptable for a country as advanced as the United States, so Ruth Watson Lubic, &#8220;an experienced nurse-midwife and health care reform advocate,&#8221; decided to do something about it.</p>
<h3>Making the Road to Motherhood Safer</h3>
<p>We, as children, often forget how dangerous and difficult it can be for our mothers to bring us into the world. Luckily, there are organizations like Family Health and Birth Center that can make it safer. They offer a <a href="http://www.yourfhbc.org/services.html">wide array of services</a> that can help women in the DC area not only become mothers safely, but also start on their way to being good mothers. If you&#8217;d like to consider a job at Family Health and Birth Center, you&#8217;ll have to get a little bit creative. They don&#8217;t currently have any jobs posted, but they do offer <a href="http://www.yourfhbc.org/staff.html#intern">internships and volunteer opportunities</a>. They also have a <a href="http://www.yourfhbc.org/staff.html">detailed staff page</a>, so if you take the information on those two pages together, you should be able to prepare yourself well to make a cold call. Your Mom will be proud. </p>

<p>Yesterday I got some bad news. A good friend and one of the best people in the fly fishing community was diagnosed with lung cancer a few months ago. It&#8217;s not a pretty picture, but if anyone can beat it, it&#8217;s him. Since he&#8217;s been on my mind since yesterday, I thought it would only be appropriate to take a look at the <strong>American Lung Association</strong> today. They&#8217;re a nationwide non-profit organization that aims to &#8220;save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.&#8221; Whether it&#8217;s a lifelong smoker who is facing a life and death situation or a kid who is growing up with asthma (like me), the American Lung Association is there to help &#8211; mostly &#8220;through research, education and advocacy.&#8221;</p>
<h3>Breathe Easy with These Jobs</h3>
<p>Another reason that I decided to feature the American Lung Association is that a reader e-mailed me to rave about her internship with the organization. That&#8217;s always a good sign! The American Lung Association has locations all across the country &#8211; there are local chapters and regional offices as well. I&#8217;m not sure if you can approach them individually about jobs, but I do know that the <a href="http://www.lungusa.org/site/c.dvLUK9O0E/b.23697/k.CC5D/Careers/apps/nl/newsletter2.asp">American Lung Association&#8217;s Jobs page</a> includes jobs in a variety of locations. Right now the entry level pickings are kind of slim. There are positions in Accounting and Software Development/IT, but they&#8217;re probably a little too advanced for a new grad. There are also a couple of volunteer positions (one in Customer Service Coordination and one in Administrative Coordination) that you might want to consider. I don&#8217;t normally recommend that, but after hearing about a <a href="http://www.foundyourcareer.com/">Found Your Career</a> student who volunteered his way into a contract job, I think it might be worth trying. How you apply depends on which position you&#8217;re going for, so head over to the American Lung Association&#8217;s to get all of the details. And remember, it&#8217;s pretty easy to track down contact info for people at the organization, so you may want to go that route to find information about more entry level opportunities.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s no secret that poverty and poor health are deeply related. Limited access to healthcare is part of the reason, but there&#8217;s a lot more to the story. Nearly everything that we do in our lives has some bearing on our health outcomes, and a life in poverty creates factor after factor that leads to poor health outcomes. <strong>Project HEALTH</strong> is a non-profit organization that works in Baltimore, MD; Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; New York, NY; Providence, RI; and Washington, DC to break &#8220;the link between poverty and poor health.&#8221; Honestly, that doesn&#8217;t make a lot of sense to me. I think that poverty and poor health will forever be intertwined, but battling poverty will be the key to creating better health outcomes for lower-income people. I guess it all depends on how you define poverty.</p>
<h3>A Project for You</h3>
<p>Despite my confusion with Project Health&#8217;s tagline, I think that they&#8217;ve put together two awesome programs that show that they really do get it. The first is <a href="http://www.projecthealth.org/model-fhd">Family Help Desk</a>, which offers clinics where &#8220;physicians can &#8216;prescribe&#8217; food, housing, health insurance, job training, fuel assistance, or other resources for their patients as routinely as they do medication.&#8221; I always thought it was kind of silly that our medical system focused mostly on prescribing medication and not on making recommendations about other areas patients&#8217; lives, so I think that Project HEALTH has nailed it here. It should be so surprise that:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Family Help Desk’s straightforward, preventative referrals to government and community resources – such as affordable housing, child care, employment, GED classes, and job training – enable families to avert crises and to access increased income and education, which have been documented to result in better long-term health outcomes</p></blockquote>
<p>It sounds like an amazing program! Project HEALTH&#8217;s second program is called <a href="http://www.projecthealth.org/model-strive">STRIVE</a> and it&#8217;s &#8220;an afterschool intervention that provides low-income teens with sickle cell disease with the mentoring, peer support, academic assistance, and disease management education they need to manage their condition effectively and realize their full potential.&#8221; It also sounds like it&#8217;s doing some impressive work. Another part of the Project HEALTH story is that most of their projects are staffed by college volunteers. On that note, they do have jobs beyond the volunteer level for those of you who have graduated. <a href="http://www.projecthealth.org/involved-jobs">Project HEALTH&#8217;s Jobs page</a> has 6 openings posted right now. 5 are as Family Help Desk Program Managers (in Baltimore, Chicago, New York, Providence, and Washington, DC) which seem to require some prior work experience, while the other job is clearly entry level &#8211; Family Help Desk Program Assistant, Baltimore. You can find out how to apply from the job descriptions.</p>

<p>My Dad is an architect, and he often likes to send me suggestions on which companies I should feature next. Sometimes he finds some pretty cool stuff, and a month or so ago he sent me a link to the <a href="http://www.zinio.com/express3?issue=325511596">Winter 2009 online issue of HQ Magazine</a>, which features an article called &#8220;Top 20 Places to Work.&#8221; Usually such lists focus on a range of reasons for a place&#8217;s being great to work at, but HQ is an architectural publication, so this list is all about office space (not the movie). The section of the article on <strong>Epic Systems</strong> says: &#8220;Epic&#8217;s campus fits into idyllic pastures and farmland, providing serene, relaxing views from within. Outside are hiking trails, playing fields, a treehouse. Meeting rooms have working fireplaces to further the sense of calmness.&#8221; It sounds amazing. Epic systems is a Wisconsin based, privately held, employee owned healthcare software provider.</p>
<h3>Epicly Helpful</h3>
<p>Epic Systems only has 170 clients, but &#8220;they are some of the most respected organizations in healthcare.&#8221; Epic&#8217;s software apparently makes the patient experience a lot better, but until it makes waiting rooms obsolete, I&#8217;m not quite sold. Basically, what Epic&#8217;s software does is that it records every touch that a patient has with a healthcare provider. The information is kept securely, but in a way that allows patients to access it when they need it. Epic Systems provides a product that keeps doctors, nurses, and patients fully informed about what&#8217;s going on. We all know that the healthcare industry is a mess, but it&#8217;s also growing rapidly. Epic Systems seems to be taking advantage of this environment by making a product that makes healthcare better for all parties involved.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a sample situation from Epic&#8217;s website:</p>
<blockquote><p>Imagine this: you&#8217;re from Dallas, but you&#8217;re on vacation in Seattle. Shortly after trying some of the free samples at the fish market, you come down with something nasty and end up in the Emergency Room. You can&#8217;t remember the names of the medications you&#8217;re taking at home, but you mention to the doctor that you&#8217;re normally seen at Black Springs Clinic in the Dallas area. The doctor in the ER is able to access your chart from the clinic without the need to place a call or retrieve a fax. Your ER doctor sees not only the specific medications and doses you were last prescribed at home, but also that you&#8217;re allergic to Iodine, preventing a potentially severe reaction during your care.</p>
<p>You get back on your feet after a few hours in the ER and are given a couple medications and a recommendation to see your doctor at home once you&#8217;re back from vacation. While still in Seattle, you pull out your laptop and are able to send a secure message to your physician in Dallas, letting him know briefly what happened. You also sign up for a follow-up appointment for when you return. When you arrive, your doctor has access to your clinic chart, as well as the information documented during your visit to the ER in Seattle.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sounds pretty great.</p>
<h3>Do Something Epic</h3>
<p>Epic may have only made the list of Top Places to Work because of their building, but they look like they belong on any general list of the best places to work. Their <a href="http://careers.epicsystems.com/">Careers site</a> is loaded with information &#8211; especially the <a href="http://careers.epicsystems.com/life.php">Life and Work</a> section. We could go on and on about how cool it looks to work at Epic, but you&#8217;re better off checking it out on your own (start by taking a <a href="http://careers.epicsystems.com/place.php">tour of their campus</a>). Epic allows you to <a href="http://careers.epicsystems.com/positions.php">browse their jobs</a> by both <a href="http://careers.epicsystems.com/bycareer.php">Career Type</a> and <a href="http://careers.epicsystems.com/byedu.php">Educational Background</a>; however, I prefer to look at their listing of <a href="http://careers.epicsystems.com/listing-us">all available positions</a>. The jobs are insanely easy to scan for entry level positions, so there&#8217;s no need for me to list them here, and you can apply online. Although they are a software company, they have job openings in areas that include Accounting, Biotechnology, Botany, Consulting, HR, IT, Project Management, Writing, and, of course, Software Development.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s been a while since we&#8217;ve featured any entry level government jobs, and with today&#8217;s being Veteran&#8217;s Day, we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to take a look at what kind of jobs you can get at the <strong>Department of Veterans Affairs</strong>. Before you get in to job searching mode, though, go thank a veteran. If your grandfather served in World War II, give him a call and say thank you. Or if one of your buddies has served or is serving in Iraq, shoot him or her an e-mail stating your appreciation. And if any of you job searchers out there happen to be veterans, thank you from the One Day, One Job team. Now let&#8217;s get into what the VA is all about. There are 25 million veterans currently living in the United States and 70 million people who are &#8220;potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members or survivors of veterans.&#8221; The VA is responsible for providing top-flight patient care and administering veterans&#8217; benefits. Our vets have risked their lives to earn the services offered by the VA, so it&#8217;s important that the VA has a talented staff that is committed to providing top-flight &#8220;customer&#8221; service.</p>
<h3>Thank a Vet by Working at the VA</h3>
<p>If you remember any of our previous posts about jobs with the Federal Government (e.g. the <a href="http://www.onedayonejob.com/jobs/us-forest-service/">US Forest Service</a>), you&#8217;ll know that finding jobs with them isn&#8217;t as easy as it should be. That&#8217;s ok, because we&#8217;ll guide you through the process. You should probably start by checking out the <a href="http://www.va.gov/JOBS/types_careers.asp">VA&#8217;s page on Types of Careers</a>. It has info on every type of job that they offer, and even includes some videos that show &#8220;A Day in the Life.&#8221; In fact, this area of the site is pretty simple to navigate, so you shouldn&#8217;t find it too hard to get a sense of what types of jobs might interest you &#8211; categories include Health Care, Business / Administration, Legal, Engineering / Architecture / Technical Support, and Specialized Skilled Occupations / Trades. The hard part is actually navigating through the job listings. For most jobs with the VA, you need to use the <a href="http://jobsearch.usajobs.opm.gov/a9va.asp">USAJOBS site</a> to search for openings. (The exception is if you&#8217;re looking for jobs with the <a href="http://www.vacareers.va.gov/">Veterans&#8217; Health Administration</a>.)  From the USAJOBS site you can search by Agency, Occupation, Keyword, or Location. If you have found some positions that interest you on the Types of Careers page, then you can search for those jobs. If you haven&#8217;t, you might want to try using the keyword &#8220;entry.&#8221; It&#8217;s worked for us in the past, but it&#8217;s not 100% at finding entry level jobs. You can also try sorting the search results by salary and start from the bottom, which is almost certain to lead to jobs that require <a href="http://www.onedayonejob.com/blog/first-jobs-no-experience-needed/">no experience</a>. There are hundreds of jobs in locations all across the country, so we&#8217;re not going to list specific opportunities, but we will warn you that once you find jobs that look interesting and click on the links to their descriptions, be sure to notice the second row of tabs on the page. That&#8217;s where you can find all kinds of detailed information about the jobs and how to apply.</p>
<p>The VA does work in cities big and small, so there&#8217;s a strong likelihood that they have jobs near where you live. The application processes for all of these jobs are pretty intense, because that&#8217;s how the government likes to do things, so be sure to follow the instructions carefully.</p>

<p>Typically when we feature a startup company and its jobs, the startup is at least mid-stage &#8211; they have a small but growing team, a product that has been released in some form to the public, and often have gone through multiple stages of funding. Today&#8217;s company, <strong>Maria Health</strong>, can definitely be considered early stage. They have a team of 7, an idea &#8211; not a product, and backing by one venture capital firm. They say that they&#8217;re going to change the way that you think about healthcare through &#8220;a web app which will provide users unprecedented transparency into their healthcare usage, options, and insurance coverage.&#8221; Although it&#8217;s hard to say what will actually happen down the road, you have to like the chances of a healthcare based startup in this down economy. Healthcare is an industry that just seems to keep growing and growing.</p>
<h3>Who Is Maria?</h3>
<p>We don&#8217;t know who Maria is, nor do we know much more about Maria Health. Early stage startups often aren&#8217;t very forthcoming with information about themselves. They want to avoid having competitors steal their ideas, and they also probably want to leave room for their ideas to evolve before they publicly announce exactly what they&#8217;re doing. What we do know is that Maria Health already has a <a href="http://mariahealth.com/jobs/">Jobs page</a>, and they&#8217;re hiring for a couple positions that might interest new college grads. Specifically, they&#8217;re looking for a Software Developer who has exceptional Ruby skills and a Product Manager who has user experience experience (that was not a typo). Maria Health&#8217;s jobs page has full descriptions, so check them out if you&#8217;re a web developer (front end or back end) who has a vested interest in the healthcare industry. Maria Health is located in San Mateo, CA, but they&#8217;re moving to SOMA in San Francisco in January of 2009. To apply for a job with them, send a cover letter and resume to job&#115;&#64;m&#97;r&#105;ahe&#97;lth&#46;&#99;om.</p>

<p>Just because you&#8217;re graduating college doesn&#8217;t mean that you have to be done with educational development. Even if you haven&#8217;t studied education for a second, you must have picked up something  with 17 years in the educational system. At the very least you&#8217;ve lived in a thriving society, and you understand how education, health, civil society and economic development are the keys to a better life. Maybe you take these things for granted, but once you see what the non-profit <strong>Academy for Educational Development</strong> is doing, you&#8217;ll get a better understanding for how innovative solutions can help solve critical social and economic problems. AED has programs that focus on 7 specific areas &#8211; Education, Enterprise &#038; Economic Development, Environment &#038; Energy, Health, HIV/AIDS, Leadership &#038; Democracy, and Youth &#8211; and they also take 7 different approaches &#8211; Behavior Changes, Gender, Partnerships, Research &#038; Evaluation, Social Marketing, Technology Applications, and Training. It may sound like they have their hands full, and they do. AED is running &#8220;more than 250 programs serving people in all 50 U.S. states and more than 150 countries.&#8221;</p>
<h3>Join the Academy</h3>
<p>Getting a feel for what exactly the Academy for Educational Development does is a little tough. It&#8217;s not that they don&#8217;t eloquently describe themselves, but it&#8217;s that they do so much. The best way to get a deeper feel for what the organization works on every day is to read their <a href="http://www.aed.org/About/who.cfm">What We Do page</a> and their <a href="http://www.aed.org/Projects/index.cfm">Projects page</a>. Like what you see? Why not consider working at AED.</p>
<p>The Academy for Educational Development has an interesting way of organizing their jobs &#8211; they do it by pay grade. The grades range from 3 to 10, and we think that you should look most closely at Grades 4 and 5 even though the experience requirements appear to be a bit beyond what most new college grads have. This seems a bit weird at first, but it actually makes browsing their jobs really easy. All you have to do is go to their <a href="http://www.aed.org/Employment/Current-Openings.cfm">Current Openings</a> and then check out each grade. <a href="http://employment.aed.org/openings/grade3/grade3.html">Grade 3 </a>is typically Administrative jobs, and they don&#8217;t have any right now. <a href="http://employment.aed.org/openings/grade4/grade4.html">Grade 4</a> has one job, which is Senior Program Assistant &#8211; The Open World Program Center for International Exchanges. <a href="http://employment.aed.org/openings/grade5/grade5.html">Grade 5</a> has 8 jobs &#8211; Senior Program Associate, AED Center for Global Health &#038; Communication Marketing; Accounting Associate, AED Accounting Department; Executive Assistant, AED Center for Gender Equity; Program Associate, AED Center for Academic Partnerships; Program Associate, AED Center for Health Communication; Senior Program Associate, Web Portal, AED Information Technology Applications Center; Senior New Media and eMarketing Associate, AED Center for Health Communication; and Technical Support Analyst, AED Information Technology Department. Yes, a lot of these jobs have &#8220;Senior&#8221; in the title, but the job descriptions look pretty close to entry level. We think that it would be well worth your while to apply for most of these jobs if they interest you, and you can do that by sending a cover letter and resume to e&#109;plo&#121;&#64;sm&#116;&#112;.a&#101;d&#46;org with the position # (it&#8217;s in the job posting) somewhere in the e-mail. Although they don&#8217;t make it clear in the job postings, we think that all of these jobs are at AED&#8217;s headquarters in Washington, DC.</p>

<p>Consulting jobs are hot for new college grads, even though a lot of people ask, &#8220;What could a new grad possibly consult on?&#8221; The truth is that consulting firms love fresh talent. They pick the best and the brightest and put them to work on teams with experienced pros to solve problems that other companies are struggling with. If you&#8217;re thinking about a job in consulting, you might as well aim for the one of the best. <strong>Kurt Salmon Associates</strong> is a consulting firm that focuses on Consumer Products and Retail (Supply Chain and Growth and Profitability) and Health Care consulting. They&#8217;ve been named a <a href="http://www.consultingmag.com/categories/Rankings/Best-Firms-to-Work-For/">Top 10 Best Firm to Work For by Consulting Magazine</a> for six years in a row, so you know that they&#8217;ll take good care of you &#8211; if you can land a job with them.</p>
<h3>The Myth of the Two-Headed Salmon</h3>
<p>Kurt Salmon Associates seems to keep their two businesses separate, which can be a bit confusing for college students who are considering working for them. They have parallel websites for their <a href="http://www.kurtsalmon.com/content/main/home.cfm">Consumer Products &#038; Retail Consulting</a> and <a href="http://hsd.kurtsalmon.com/">Health Care Consulting</a>; however, they do have a main <a href="http://www.kurtsalmon.com/content/main/body/careers/index.htm">Careers site</a> which is shared by both. The shared Careers site mentions the typical career path at Kurt Salmon (Consultant &#8211;> Senior Consultant &#8211;> Manager &#8211;> Senior Manager &#8211;> Principal) and how &#8220;KSA is Keen on Green,&#8221; and then it directs visitors to the parallel Careers sections for their two businesses. Although the two separate businesses have many similarities, you want to make sure that you&#8217;re reading the site when you&#8217;re researching KSA&#8217;s job opportunities.</p>
<p>The Retail and Consumer Products side of Kurt Salmon Associates seems to be bigger than the Health Care side. The former has locations in Atlanta, GA; Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; Princeton, NJ; San Francisco, CA; Shanghai, China; Tokyo, Japan; Altrincham, UK; Amsterdam, NL ; Düsseldorf, Germany; London, UK; and Paris, France; whereas, the Health Care business only has locations in Atlanta, GA; Minneapolis, MN; Philadelphia, PA; and San Bruno, CA. If you want to learn more specifics about each of the businesses, you should check out their individual sites &#8211; <a href="http://www.kurtsalmon.com/content/main/home.cfm">Consumer Products &#038; Retail Consulting</a> and <a href="http://hsd.kurtsalmon.com/">Health Care Consulting</a>.</p>
<h3>Landing an Entry Level Job with Kurt Salmon Associates</h3>
<p>Kurt Salmon Associates provides much more information about <a href="http://www.kurtsalmon.com/content/main/body/careers/opportunities/body.htm">Retail and Consumer Products Consulting Careers</a> than they do about their <a href="http://hsd.kurtsalmon.com/careers/opportunities.htm">Health Care Consulting Careers</a>. There isn&#8217;t much mention of college recruiting on the Health Care site, so if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re interested, you should look at their <a href="http://hsd.kurtsalmon.com/careers/opportunities.htm">specific job opportunities</a> and consider applying. If you&#8217;re interested in a Retail and Consumer Products job, then you&#8217;ll have a lot more to look at. They actively recruit at target schools which include Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Geogia Tech, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, Emory, Stanford, Penn State, and New York University (you can find this on their <a href="http://hsd.kurtsalmon.com/careers/opportunities.htm">Campus Recruiting page</a>), but they also accept applicants from other schools. To learn more, you may want to look at their <a href="http://www.kurtsalmon.com/content/main/body/careers/why%20KSA/recruiting_brochure.pdf">brochure</a>, their <a href="http://www.kurtsalmon.com/content/main/body/careers/opportunities/KSA_Caseinterview.pdf">sample Case Interview</a>, and their <a href="http://www.kurtsalmon.com/content/main/body/careers/Profiles/body.htm">consultant profiles</a>. If you&#8217;ve already graduated, you can look at <a href="http://www.kurtsalmon.com/content/main/body/careers/opportunities/body.htm">KSA&#8217;s current opportunities</a>, otherwise you can use <a href="http://KSARecruiting.kurtsalmon.com/Prospect.aspx">KSA&#8217;s general application form</a>.</p>
<p>As you can tell, navigating KSA&#8217;s web site can be a little bit confusing. If you follow our lead, you should be able to find all the information that you need about getting a job as an entry level consultant with Kurt Salmon Associates.</p>
