How to start a job search on-line?

I am interested in a Director’s position with a non profit, I have a Masters and over 15 years experience, looking for Eastern southern states. In my searches all I seem to come up with are computer jobs, sales or sites that want you to pay them.

    Yahoo has a site through Hotjobs.com, and you can input search preferences. Your best bet is to keep your original request simple (don’t put in too many keywords right away) and sift through the results yourself. It takes forever to find and apply to jobs that work out the best for you. I’m in the middle of just such a search myself. Try looking into a major publication in your field (magazine, professional journal) and see what they have on their site for employment recommendations. Another good thing to do is check on University webpages. The big ones often have extensive lists set up to assist students in their searches, why not use it to your benefit as well? Good luck!

    Have you decided what type of non-profit you are interested in? Maybe it would be good to do some research into non-profits in the areas where you want to work. Go to their websites. They are more likely to post thier jobs right on the site. If they have a board of directors who hires the director, you might want to email the President of the Board to find out if there are openings (I understand that you cannot contact the director, your prospective competition).

    Hi,

    Nonprofitjobs.org seems to be a good place to start your search from but for these type of positions networking would probably be your bet.

    Jewish Vocational Services (you don’t need to be Jewish to use their career development services) are located in many major US cities and provide Job Search Assistance but also host networking groups.

    JobHunt.org is another great avenue to explore as they have a wealth of information about career networking groups throughout the US.

    jobsearchlog.com is a free online application that allows you to track your ads, jobs you apply for, send or print mail merged correspondence, and track your job search history.

    Sincerely,

    Michael
