- Language Jobs
- ...as you all know, I tend to stay away from sites operated by individuals who do not appear to have any real background in the employment / career industry. I am making an exception here, because this individual has set up a site with links to search of specific websites for jobs requiring skills in specific languages. No registration needed, and you only use this site to get to those. You can see the sites to be searched, and the search string used, and it is a pretty easy way to do a quick check to see who needs your language expertise.

- ...a multilingual recruitment supplier to some of Europe’s best employers, placing many Nordic speakers in permanent jobs around Europe. The positions they are working to fill are located across Europe and the UK. You can review these by language skills or by location, but you must meet all criteria regarding work and language skills. They encourage you to complete their free registration and place your CV/resume in their database as they search their database for qualified candidates before publicly posting new listings.

This blog is operated by an individual who has been receiving these sorts of announcements for years and decided to create a place for them to be shared and easily accessed by all. He generally updates on Sundays, with possible extra updates for urgent postings. From the front page you can access all the listings in reverse date of posting, but check the tags on the right side to quickly access posts in specific groups (NGO - name, GOV - name, University, Russia - city, USA - city). All posts link back to the organization who posted them.
- Teach Korea Tips
- ...operated by Peterson Kuyk-White and some others, this site aggregates ESL teaching positions in Korea in one location, making it easier for you to review possible positions. They are also trying to sell a book with guidance on pursuing these jobs, but that is a separate area of the site. There are also blog postings with tips, pointers, and other discussions to help you with your decision to pursue this work and how to proceed once you decide to go for it. The site is free, but you will have to do a lot of poking around to get the most out of it.
- TeslJobs.com
- ...not a recruiter but a location for the posting of jobs for Teachers of English as a Second Language plus resumes, resources, and discussion forums. While the contact info on this free site is limited to an email address, the domain registration info shows the name and address of the operator (Nova Scotia, Canada). However, you do not need to register even if you want to post a resume/CV (these will be public), and he is not the go-between for the jobs posted here, so I am not too concerned about the lack of information. I do appreciate his warning to not send credit card and bank info to employers and the many scam warnings posted on the site. Be sure to report any scams or concerns to the site operator.

- Translation Industry Career Guide from Lingo24
- No, not a job site, but a guide to careers in the translation industry from a provider of translation services to businesses. (Yes, they are trying to attract new talent.)

- ChurchStaffing.com
- ...nice site advertising various positions in churches across the US and Canada. I like that they add size of church, and worship style to the job search criteria, but you can also opt to search by the many categories on the front page (scroll down to see the full list on the left). Recent ads as well as recent resumes are featured on the front page, so be prepared for a very public presence if you post your resume here. Jobs can be listed for as long as 6 months, so you may want to check that an older position is still open before applying. Smaller congregations get a break on the price of postings.
- FindAChristianJob.com
- I'll start out by saying that I'm not entirely comfortable with this site. There is an address for contact (no phone), but no background on the developers except what they told me in their email (large group working on several niche sites). However, for job seekers I am not seeing any major red flags. You do not need to register and you apply directly to the organization who posted the listing. And they do have jobs with Christian organizations and ministries, including jobs for pastors, etc., which may not be posted elsewhere. If you are comfortable with the site, go ahead and use it.
- MinistryEmployment
