I have one semester left (currently in process) before I graduate with my MPH. Was anyone successful in finding a job prior to graduating? How did you convey this to jobs that you’re almost done? Thank you

It's normal for employers to recruit high-quality candidates before the end of the degree - you just need to show them the completed degree at some point. I was employed before the end of both my MPH and doctoral degrees.
