Out of all the job boards, Monster.com is the best, and they only have a 4% fill rate. Usually the best jobs are unadvertised.

I would recommend joining and becoming active in a local chapter of a professional organization devoted to Program Management, etc. You can find them by asking your reference librarian.

I'm just starting to do that stuff here, and I'm finding that I have a lot more job leads than I ever did thru job boards.

pmi.org ??

And membership fees look cheap - only $20 And they have their own private job board.

I also read somewhere that job boards like this ("niche" boards) have a fill rate of 17%, 4x higher than Monster.

I'll keep my eyes open for you. A friend in the office is waiting to hear if she got a new job in DC. She's a program analyst. I'll let you know.

Too late. My 12 year old took that title.

Who's taking over your title?

Does your title usurp my title of "Queen of the World"?

I sure hope not.......

another good site which i think is better than Monster is:

Oops! Missed that.

I still stand by my suggestion though. I think it's a good investment.
And if it gets you a better job with a higher salary just a few days earlier than without it, you've recouped your investment.

A lot of 'professional' jobs like to see that you've got a professional organization membership (shows commitment and long-term 'buy in' to your field). I used to do PRSA but there was another one that a colleague mentioned that is along the same lines, but I can't remember what it is. They sometimes offer pretty good conferences/training seminars for a reduced price to members as well.

Public Relations Society of America? I'm doing a paper on Public Relations for my mass comm class, and I have to include what all is entailed in the job, avg. salaries, future growth, skills needed, etc.....
