On the Net, two resources tower above the rest in terms of breadth, number of jobs posted, effective organization, timeliness, and ease of use. We've listed them in a class by themselves because they span so many of our more specific categories. Start with these "Best Bets" in your job search.
Weekly job listings in "Academe This Week" average 1000 or more current positions in higher education and related fields, and include broad categories of faculty and research openings, administrative and executive positions, and positions outside of academe. These categories are further organized into numerous specific areas for easy browsing. The entire list is searchable by keyword, and the search can be restricted to the Northeast U.S., the South, West, Midwest, or to jobs outside the U.S.
"Academe This Week" is the online version of "The Chronicle of Higher Education". "The Chronicle", published since 1966, is the premier news magazine in the higher education field. The online version, updated every Tuesday, includes excerpts and summaries of articles appearing in the print copy, and complete listings of its job postings, which are paid advertisements. Only the current issue is available online.
Another hands down first choice is the Online Career Center, a non-profit employer association. Job opportunities included favor high tech positions though real opportunities exist in other fields as well. Users can submit ASCII (plain text) versions of their resume at no charge, to be maintained at OCC for 90 days. All attendant fees are paid by OCC member employers, who pay annually to post their openings with the service. Job seekers can search OCC's list of job openings by job title, keyword, company name, or by geographical region. Unlike other similar services, OCC doesn't belie any geographic bias: they really do hire for positions across the entire U.S. and abroad.
