How does a graduate student find jobs to apply for, and what does a good resume look like? Your major advisor and your department chair are excellent resources to begin with. They can help you craft a professional vita or resume.

The web is another place to start. Below is a collection of sites that you might consider visiting. Several will allow you to create a custom search that can be automatically emailed to you on a regular basis. Remember that it might take 6 to 12 months for you to find a good job, so plan ahead and don't wait.
