[Sigia-l] announcing the launch of the AIfIA Job Board

[Lyle_Kantrovich at cargill.com]

Dave,

The UPA has a "job bank" that has listings and links to other job banks:
http://www.upassoc.org/html/job_bank.html

Our local Minnesota UPA Chapter has area job listings 
http://www.upamn.org/jobs/

Some other UPA chapters do the same:

The Texas DFW & Austin UPA Chapters seem to filter Monster listings for 
members (listings look nationwide):
http://texasupa.org/texas/tx_upa_jobs.htm

Montreal Chapter:
http://www.upa-mtl.org/upa_emplois.htm

UK UPA Chapter:
http://www.ukupa.org.uk/jobs/index.htm


Still, one of the best ways to find an IA or usability related job in 
the Minneapolis/St. Paul area is to get involved in a chapter -- attend 
meetings and network with folks.  I know quite a few usability group 
managers who won't post an opening publicly until they tell chapter 
members about the opportunity.  They also prefer to hire folks who are 
active in professional associations like UPA for a number of reasons, 
not the least of which is that the applicant has demonstrated a high 
level of interest in the field and a desire to continue learning from 
others...

Participating in listservs is another way to network and learn.

Regards,

Lyle
