Where to get jobs.

December 15 2009

Being unemployed sucks. Here’s a guide to find jobs, dudes and dudettes. At least in Europe.

First: The European Job Mobility Program. It sounds scary, but it will crawl through all the national job portals  in Europe, and it also finds a lot. Type in Interaction designer or User experience designer or something. Mostly you will get a lot boring visioomnigraffleaxureajaxphpaspnetflashwireframecrap in London, but sometimes you will find actual IxD or UX (what’s the difference?) jobs.

Second: A secret place on a certain website contains a list of  about 300 interaction design companies. Ask around, someone knows where it is.

Third: Coroflot and Behance. Again a lot webcrap. But a lot of decent ones as well. Mostly US of A.

Fourth: I wish there wasn’t a fourth. Instead of these use the second option first. Recruiters. They are really bad. Usually no answers, they use a lot of times a form, which only allows posting of a CV, and probably that’s the only thing they look at. So, if you are desperate here’s a bunch. MajorPlayers, Adrem (design specialists), IC Software (they have a lot), TechnoJobs (UK only, send you a lot of spam, thank you very much), and more more more.

Fifth: The odd forums, twitters and facebooks, LinkedIns, IxDA job board, what else? Post a comment if you know more.

And probably Monster.com. The rest is up to you and how much you are willing to sell out in the name of the almighty Euro. All hail the new president of Europe, Herman van Rompuy!
