If you are unable to find that immediately, you may want to try to be more flexible about either your function or your industry. As you are a licensed pilot with aviation experience, it sounds as though you would prefer to stay in the aviation industry. In that case, I would recommend that you broaden your search to include other third-shift positions at an airport that might help you get your foot in the door. N.H. If, on the other hand, you enjoy being a dispatcher, it would make sense to broaden your search to industries outside of aviation who also hire dispatchers such as the police, oil companies, and public transportation agencies. Higher education is among the largest industries in this area, yet it's difficult to find employment information.
Higher education is one of New England's major industries.
Your best source of information is the individual Web sites of the colleges and universities you are interested in. Almost all of them contain job listings, job descriptions, and salary ranges. The Chronicle of Higher Education, available in most libraries, is also an extremely informative publication. In higher education, as in other fields, contacts help. Even if that person does not know of any openings in the area that you're interested in, he or she may have colleagues at other institutions that they are probably in touch with.
