  • Mississippi State Personnel Board - Mississippi's official source for jobs in state government.

To find job sites or job ads specific to your field, please become familiar with relevant organizations and associations. For example, those interested in librarianship should visit the American Library Association page, for psychologists, the American Psychological Association, etc. 

Locating web sites for specific institutions or organizations is probably the best and most direct way of finding job openings or information.
