Hey y'all I don't know many medical professionals in the area so I figured I would ask y'all. My daughter who's about to turn 19 wants to get into the nutritionist field. She is in college and is looking for a job where she can work part-time so she can still attend school but gain some experience in this field. It doesn't have to be nutrition specific but something where the experience would correlate on a good resume. Anybody have any ideas or leads? Thanks in advance.

Your daughter sounds like she’s the perfect age to apply for an internship program that would give her much-needed experience, and provide her with a decent stepping stone into that particular profession. If her current academic program doesn’t offer her any direct opportunities for an internship program, there are many opportunities online at sites such as internship.com, and others, where she can apply. While most internship programs are paid positions these days, others are not, so she might want to keep that in mind as she’s looking. Also, because your daughter is so young, she might also want to consider applying for a volunteer position at many of our local hospitals or nursing homes, or on a site like volunteermatch.org. These positions don’t pay anything, of course, but they offer excellent opportunities to build her experiences in her chosen field, and get to know more experienced working professionals. Another idea would be for her to cold-call, or email professionals currently working as nutritionists for advice. My son once did that and got an internship recommendation right on the spot. Just make sure that she has a well-written résume prepared, and that she is also ready to answer typical interview questions. That’s something that most parents can help with, and a skill that will serve them well throughout their lives. Your daughter is lucky to have such a caring and helpful Dad, and wisely chose a solid career in a growing field that is the true basis for lifelong good health. Best of luck to you both!
