Get a Mac, get a job

As the economy makes with the poop, we can all use a little bit of extra help finding work. Whether it's side projects, or full-time employment, there are plenty of jobs available for system administrators, programmers, and creative people -- all who use a Mac.

I've assembled a collection of sites and job boards that cater to those with a technical and creative skill set -- people who probably use a Mac. This is by no means a complete list, but should help anyone starting to look for work.

Comments consisting of "how could you dare possibly omit [insert name of board here]" will be met with resigned sighs from me, but cheers from our readers. So feel free to point people in the direction of boards that you've used or trusted before in comments.

Follow me across the jump for the list.

Sweet! I didn't see a single job listed that fits what I do. (Photographic image manipulation/color correction)

All the photo retouching I do is usually part-and-parcel of a larger project that involves a photo shoot (which are becoming increasingly rare with more diverse stock photography and shrinking client budgets).

The two things I would recommend are either (a) befriending an agency who can routinely offer you retouching work or (b) befriend a photographer for the same. Or both.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for listing Aquent as a recruiting resource for creative and marketing professionals. As some of you may remember, we were called "MacTemps" when we started out 20 years ago.
