A Helpful List of Resources

As you consider ways in which to research positions, consider The Chronicle of Higher of Education (all education positions), the Associated Writing Programs (mostly creative writing but some non-academic), and the Chronicle of Philanthropy(non-profit jobs). Each one offers jobs, but you must be an AWP member to access their list. Consider doing so, partly because it is a good line on your CV but also because it gives you access to the AWP Placement office, which sends out CV's and such for you. And the two Chronicles are major journals in their fields. Check these out by copying the link and pasting it into your browser.
