Niche Job Postings
Find Your Niche
Sometimes we're generalists,
but often we need to target our efforts in a particular direction.
After all, if we're in a niche, the chances of finding other like
minded people is greater. And sometimes, being in a niche allows
an extra opportunity for finding just the people you seek.
Being part of a niche, though,
can be difficult unless you can find professional associations and
industry related employment sites that make inhabiting the niche
more pleasant and profitable. Yet there are thousands of professional
associations in the US alone, and just about as many web sites that
deal with employment.
There are, though, a few
sites that can lead you in the right direction. These are la
creme de la creme.

Employment Sites
- Purdue
University maintains an amazing array of employment information,
not the least of which is this page of links to employment opportunity
in more than 20 specific fields and industries. From this page
you can access hundreds of very useful niche employment sites
- Dynamic
Cover Letters, while not as cleanly organized as Purdue's
site, offers links to employment sites, categorized by industry.
Entries are as diverse as Construction
Site Jobs Database and The American Physical Society's listing
for physicists.
- Women
in Technology offers job opportunities and a networking cafe
- TechWeb
offers job postings, resume postings, salary surveys and links
to IT stuff
- IBN's
niche directory
And If That's Not Enough
You can always go to Internet
Sleuth‘s business page and do a search of your own through their
directories. Or try Margaret Riley's Guide, which
has extensive links to employment sites by industry and links of
interest to women, minorities, and recruiters. Then, too, there's
always Yahoo's
Career Fields employment site.
