Illinois Department of Public Health Job Fair

Most of the major programmatic areas within IDPH will have representatives on hand to answer questions about the work they do and the qualifications being sought for prospective employees. While resumes will not be accepted at the job fair, jobseekers may bring a copy of their resume for review by career counselors from the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS), who will also be on hand to answer questions and assist with the application process. IDPH has a variety of openings, a number of which do not require prior public health experience. Some positions do not require college degrees, while others may require specialized degrees or experience. Among the positions IDPH is currently looking to fill are: architect, environmental health specialist, clinical laboratory technologist trainee, health facilities surveillance nurse, data quality and testing specialist, office administrator, and office associate. Available positions change regularly, and new positions may be added up to the day of the job fair. Advance registration for the job fair is not required.
