Although we encourage cross-posting of jobs, because they are self-submitted, occasionally opportunities appear on the LinkedIn page that are not in the Online Career Center. Also, on LinkedIn, you are more likely to have a clearly identified person with whom you can correspond and ask questions. <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/evallinkedin\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/evallinkedin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hot Tip<\/strong>: Network, Network, Network: Join your AEA Local Affiliate if there is one in your area, participate in their activities, and reach out for informational interviews.
