Recruiters and Recruiting Sites
Trade / Industry / Professional Publications & Associations

Due to the size of this field, individual employers, research groups, and laboratories will not be listed. Many IT recruiters and job banks dedicated to specific US regions are listed on those pages instead of here. You can also target employers through the resources provided here or our page for Employer Research.

You may also want to review Engineering and Telecommunications for additional resources. Graphic designers, Mobile Content Developers, and Electronic Game Developers will want to check Graphics / Animation / Electronic Games. Independent IT consultants will want to look at the Free-Agent websites.

General Resources

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery

ACM provides most of their online resources for members, but nonmembers will find several areas open for review. The Chapter listings will connect you to local professionals who share your interests, and many maintain their own web sites. The Career Opportunities are open to the public, but the majority of these listings are for academic positions. ACM members have access to an even larger array of career services, so you may want to consider joining.

Federal Cyber Service: Scholarship for Service

"Scholarship For Service (SFS) is a unique program designed to increase and strengthen the cadre of federal information assurance professionals that protect the government's critical information infrastructure. This program provides scholarships that fully fund the typical costs that students pay for books, tuition, and room and board while attending an approved institution of higher learning. Additionally, participants receive stipends of up to $8,000 for undergraduate and $12,000 for graduate students." Funding is available to undergrads in their last 2 years of studies as well as students pursuing grad / PhD degrees. Yes, you will need to "serve" your time in a Federal agency after completing your education, but this looks like an excellent way to pay for college and a good way to get some valuable experience in online security. Only select institutions are participating, so check the most up-to-date list on the website before you begin.
