Attention: Job seekers

With graduation right around the corner, a lot of us have begun to embark on the job hunt. This post will [hopefully] be helpful to anyone looking for a job in non-profits, writing, editing, marketing/PR, and/or journalism.

I’ve compiled a list of job websites that I’ve found so far and have included a short description of each one and whether or not they are worth a damn.

Non-profits (big thanks to Elizabeth)

• Idealist.org – Customize your job search in many different ways.
• OpportunityKnocks.org –  Select multiple job targets and keep your search as narrow or broad as you like.
• Philanthropy.com – Narrow your search by field and position.

Jobs and Internships

• Ed2010.com – This is my favorite for editorial jobs, internships and freelance jobs. They tend to have the coolest magazines like Inked and Interview.
• Mediabistro.com – Great for jobs in Marketing and PR, as well as writing.
• Folio.com
• Studentcentral.com – This is SCAD’s Job Magnet Web site. Allows you to narrow your search in many different ways. I found an internship on this one that led to my first publication!
• WashingtonPost.com – This one is site specific, but very good if you’re looking for jobs in the D.C. area.
• Monster.com – Don’t forget about this guy!
• Yahoo Jobs
• Craigslist.com – Of course. It’s a great idea to look for jobs in the cities you want to live in.

Travel Journalism

• International Reporting Project – The IRP Fellowships allow U.S. journalists to do original, in-depth reporting projects overseas.

Government Jobs

• USAJobs.com – This one’s great if you want to work for the man.

NPR lovers

• NPR.org

It’s also a good idea to look at the newspapers’ Web sites of cities you want to live in. Of course, these are just a jumping-off point to get you started. I want to share the love because we’re all in the same boat right now.

Happy hunting!
