Friend of Forward Peter Himler (listen to our podcast with him from last year) has just written a post that should make all our PR student readers smile - a list of US PR job databases, and this analysis of the industry:

A quick scan of the myriad job postings tells us something about the vitality of the industry: it’s booming! So with college graduations fast approaching, the entry-level crowd has few excuses for finding a niche in the PR biz.

Here is a list of US PR job databases from Peter’s post:

• The PRSA
• The Council of PR Firms
• O’Dwyers
• PR Week
• PR News
• Bulldog Reporter
• Work In PR
• Publicity Club of New York

Peter points out that he has probably missed a few, so share any other places to search for PR jobs in the comments. I know that personally I found PR agency websites and the job search function at LinkedIn to be pretty useful.

And of course we’ve got global reach here at Forward - so let us know where to look for jobs in your neck of the woods as well!
