Listservs
While most of us don't have time to keep up with the torent of emails we recieve to our personal email addresses, when you are searching for that perfect opportunity, not all emails (or listservs) are created equal.
Listservs can be one of the most useful tools in your job search as they can give you access to jobs that may not be posted in other places on the web, and they tie you into a community of like-minded people...some might even call it a network.
Below you will find a general grouping of listservs that we have found useful in our own job searches. Make sure that when you are searching through posting sites that you don't miss chances to have openings sent directly to you through email as well!
