On-line Job Hunting


Although nothing can beat a good interpersonal network when it comes to landing a job, the Internet has quickly become a valuable ally for scientists in the highly competitive job market. Job seekers can take advantage of the Internet's global reach in two ways: by posting their résumés in databases used by organizations that are looking to hire scientists and by checking out sites that list science-related jobs. The following is a list of addresses, or Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), for selected job-hunting sites on the World Wide Web.
