Found a Job Lately? Get in the Wall Street Journal
I was just contacted by a reporter from the Wall Street Journal (who’s done an article every few years on “niche” job hunting sites, librarianship as a career, etc.). Anyway, she’s working on a new article in which she needs to profile “a job hunter who found a new job via an ad on an industry- or geographic-specific site such as yours. But here’s the caveat. This person also must have only searched such niche Web sites for jobs and not the biggies like Monster or CareerBuilder.“
So, if you found a job through LISjobs.com recently, didn’t bother searching the general sites, and would love to talk to a WSJ reporter about your experiences, send me your contact info (rachel@lisjobs.com) and I’ll forward on to her.
Edited 7:45 PM Thursday: don’t send me any more responses, she says she has enough, thanks!
Angel, librarian and educator:
For librarianship at least, I look here and ALA’s JobList pretty much. I would not even think of using any of the biggies for a librarian job.

I’m with you there, Angel — it’ll be interesting to see what angle the reporter takes. I’ll try to get info on the published article and post it here.
