Here’s another use of effective marketing on Twitter: someone called @AcademeJobs started following my tweets (@sabinehikel). I checked out theirs. There’s some good stuff there–not job postings, exactly, but links to articles on the politics of higher education. Then I clicked on the home page for this tweeter, and it turns out to be Academe Jobs, a site I’ve never heard of before (have you?). I’m not endorsing the site, but I am letting you know that it exists, because I know there is a segment of my readership that hasn’t yet given up on the academic job search. It appears as though there are listing for both the US and Canada, as well as for faculty, admin and “executive jobs” (what the heck is that in the context of a university?).
I have to say, though, that nothing I’ve ever seen in the world of academic job listings beats the nifty little Dual Career Search tool over at Inside Higher Ed. Sure, this doesn’t apply to everyone, but for those two-scholar households, this little search mechanism makes it a heck of a lot easier to find academic work in the same time zone for both of you.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled non-academic programming.

"Executive jobs" at universities are generally comparable to various levels of vice presidents in corporations. The titles vary depending on the particular taxonomy used by the university.

Thanks, KateNonymous. This definitely sounds like something used in the American context. I've never heard this at a Canadian university before.
