field such as engineering, medicine, human resources,

good way to find information and job listings for specific
fields is to contact the professional association(s) affiliated
with your career field. For example, the Society of

its members, www.shrm.org.

of Associations published by The Gale Group. It lists
more than 23,000 nonprofit associations and organizations.
On the web, an impressive collection of associations is provided
by the Internet Public Library, www.ipl.org.
