Rich's International Job-Hunting Resources

I'm occasionally asked how I lucked into my international career. Rather than try to remember the various places where I've seen jobs posted, I figured I'd do a page on this site...which would also help me keep all of the job resources straight. Do you know of other sites I don't have here? Drop me a line.

Mercy Corps - Click on "Jobs" in the navigation bar at the top. Of course I'm going to list my own former employer first...Mercy Corps is a great organization to work for!
new! Intjobs.org - Courtesy of Temuri: "It is the newly-opened, regularly-updated, ads-free, non-commercial website that lists and categorizes vacancies in a different UN agencies and International Organizations." Thanks, Temuri!
the Permanent Mission of Italy to International Organizations in Geneva - Courtesy of Tanja: "there is a website of the Permanent Mission of Italy to International Organizations in Geneva, which contains almost all links to vacancies in International Organizations - worldwide." Thanks, Tanja!
conflicttransformation.org - This jobs list evolved from the former CEEJOBS and NISJOBS lists on Yahoo Groups. It's now a paid service, something like $25 per year. I paid to join it because I found my last two jobs through CEEJOBS, and this seemed like a good way to say thanks! Here's the official description of the site: "The Alliance for Conflict Transformation Announcement Forums are one of the premier sites for receiving/posting information on career and educational opportunities in the fields of conflict transformation, peacebuilding, development and civil society worldwide."
United Nations jobs - Jobs in the United Nations system, Part I.
United Nations system jobs - Jobs in the United Nations system, Part II.
internationaljobs.org - This is also a subscription service, issuing the very comprehensive ICEW publication weekly. You can browse the site for a free listing: look for "Hot Jobs". There's also a mailing list here, so you can sign up for alerts for jobs in your particular field.
ReliefWeb - Another great source of positions in relief work. There's a weekly mailing list here. See a sample mailing list message.
