Listservs:
Some listservs
allow job vacancies and position wanted messages as
a service to their subscribers. You can use these
listservs to post job vacancies and to review regularly
if you are looking for a position: LRNASST, FYE-LIST,
SINET and TRIO For subscription directions, see RESOURCES/Listservs
on this web site.
Professional
Conferences:
At professional
conferences, you come alive as a real person and not
just as an e-mail address, a signature on a listserv
posting, or as a name associated with a journal contribution
or as a conference program presenter. See the Calendar
of Events on this site for association conferences
including dates, location, and contacts. Make the
most of it by frequenting the hospitality suite and
networking with your colleagues to find out where
the vacancies are. Remember also to check conference
bulletin boards where job vacancies are posted. Take
plenty of business cards and exchange at every opportunity.
Carry a few current single page resumes to give any
prospective employers.
Resumes:
Your resume
or curriculum vitae is an important part of your professional
portfolio and should be kept up-to-date. The following
outline may be helpful as you develop your own. Remember
to indicate dates where applicable.
