Find a Professional Organization

• Many professional associations have employment or career sections on their website.
• Try an internet search for the terms “association” or “organization” along with the name of the field (i.e. nursing association)
• Don’t forget local/regional associations.  There are often state associations in many fields.  Add the state name to the search.

Jobs:  Once you find an association’s website, look for a jobs or employment section. Many associations have job postings. Look for a “search this site” link and search for the words “jobs” or “employment.”

Membership/Networking:  Most professional associations offer a discount membership for students. Don’t forget to look for association events, which can be great opportunities for networking.
