Not to rub it in, but, as of December 15th, I am the proud owner of an MA in History!
I survived grad school. I'm glad I went, despite the pain and suffering. But now what? I can't sit around playing computer games for the rest of my life? I have to eat (at least occasionally). Of course, the next step is to get a job. Certain family members, proud of the fact that I could now officially teach history at the college level began scouring Craigslist and the local newspaper for positions.
Yeah, okay. I let them do it for a few weeks before breaking it to them that one does not usually find a job in higher education on Craigslist or in the local paper. So, where does one look? Good question!
Job search resources that I have been poking around on:
HigherEdJobs.com
Adjunct Professor Online
Additionally, many states will have a resource of some sort that lists community and junior colleges, such as Utah Community College Jobs.
And there are others that pop up when you google "adjunct jobs."
By far, one of the more valuable sources for information and networking between historians is
H-Net. As an undergrad, I was intimidated about signing up for any of the lists, to be honest. But it's good to know that the resource exists.
On a side note, I am addicted to Utah and will be moving back home in ten days! Perhaps I can stop by and say hi.
