From Pam Ashlund of the Nonprofit Eye, links to some great job search sites and associations.

There's always Career Headquarters, the American Society of Association Executives career site (full disclosure: I work for ASAE). Career Headquarters leans more toward trade and professional associations than to philanthropic organizations, but there are some philanthropic organizations that advertise open positions there ... and if you set up a job alert, Career HQ will automatically send you an e-mail whenever a position fitting your criteria is advertised. You don't have to be an ASAE member to use Career HQ. www.careerhq.org

There's also Craigslist ... it's not a nonprofit-centric site, but the last two people I hired both found my ad on Craigslist, and they're both wonderful, so it's certainly worth a shot! www.craigslist.com

My organization is a member of the Center for Nonprofit Advancement (www.nonprofitadvancement.org) and they are a fantastic resource for all things related to the nonprofit sector - their Learning and Leadership Institute offers fantastic professional development courses that I've found incredibly useful and covers everything from reading financial documents, to fundraising, and (of course) board management. I believe they also have a job listing on their website as well.

Earlier in December I put up a post on all the nonprofit job resources I use if you want to check it out. BTW, I am job hunting now! Eeek!

I guess I'm a bit late to the party, but I run two sites/blogs that often feature non-profit jobs. I think you'll find them interesting, even if they're mostly geared towards college students.

One is a blog about entry-level jobs called One Day, One Job, and the other is a blog about internships for college students called One Day, One Internship. Both spotlight a single employer each day,... non-profit jobs or non-profit internships.

Every weekend we write about two new non-profits that are hiring on each site, so it's a good way to see what's out there.
