Airlines / Aviation Industry

Aviation Jobs from AviationWeek.com

...located within the online companion to McGraw-Hill's publication AVIATION WEEK, this career center offers very good listings of jobs in the aviation and aerospace industry. The most recent 15 jobs appear on the front page of the career center, but there are more listings in the searchable database. While here, be sure to look over the entire website for excellent industry news and information. Registration is not necessary to use this resource, but some areas of the full AviationWeek.com website may be limited to paying and/or registered users.

The Airline Employment Assistance Corps (AEAC) and AVJobs.com offer an online resource that brings together employers and employees in the aviation industry. Offerings for paying members include a job database, a resume service, and other career guidance resources.

Maritime

SIU Training Program for the US Maritime Industry

...The Seafarers International Union operates an entry level training program for young people seeking careers in the US maritime industry. This Unlicensed Apprentice Program is free of charge and program graduates receive a US Merchant Mariners Document/Ordinary Seaman with Water Survival and Fire Fighting Endorsements. Upon successful completion of the program, each Unlicensed Apprentice is guaranteed a job aboard a US Flag Merchant Vessel contracted to the Seafarers International Union. Veterans of the U.S. Navy or the U.S. Coast Guard who possess shipboard ratings may be eligible for participation in an abbreviated training program. The SIU, Atlantic, Gulf, Lakes and Inland Waters District, AFL-CIO, represents unlicensed United States merchant mariners sailing aboard U.S.-flag vessels in the deep sea, Great Lakes and inland trades. The union also represents licensed U.S. mariners in the Great Lakes and inland sectors.

US Merchant Marine Academy

"The United States Merchant Marine Academy is operated by the Maritime Administration (MARAD), one of the modal agencies of the U.S. Department of Transportation. The Maritime Administration has a general oversight role for the civilian maritime industry, comparable to the role of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in overseeing the civilian aviation industry." While not truly a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, "in times of war or national security the U.S. merchant marine becomes vital to national security as a 'fourth arm of defense.' Our merchant ships bear the brunt of delivering military supplies overseas to our forces and allies." Graduates of the Academy serve their country by pursuing highly successful careers in the maritime industry and the armed services. This is one of the government-sponsored training academies, so entry is very competitive. You must be nominated by an elected official.

BoatCrewJobs.com

...a very simple site which gathers "Jobs on Ships, Boats, Yachts, Tugs, Ferries, Diving and Fishing Vessels" from various sites and lists them here for you to quickly view. These are pulled from a variety of sources including big job boards, local coastal newspaper classifieds, and other sources. You are directed back to the original site to view the listing and submit your application. The operator of the site does not have his information available here, but the domain registration information is public, the operator identified himself to me when he submitted his site for review, and this site really doesn't collect anything about you.

Cruise International Cruise Ship Jobs

...an employment agency for the cruise line industry, recruiting for several of the top cruise lines. However, like all other employment agencies serving this industry, you must pay a fee to have your resume submitted for consideration. They do have a nice list of the various positions, responsibilities for each, and salary ranges. There must be some competition for jobs in this industry because this is probably the only area I cannot find anyone offering free listings.

Information on Fishing/Seafood Processing is also available. You may also want to look at Water Resources for information on many careers on the water.

Rail Industry

BNSF Railway, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway

...jobs, application information, and career information from this leader in the freight railway industry. You can pursue opportunities in engineering, transportation, mechanical fields, and resource protection, and they actively pursue veterans and transitioning military personnel to help fill open positions.

RailJobs.com

Yes, you can work on the railroad all the live long day! Search the jobs or post a resume for free.

Rail Jobs Search

...jobs in the rail industry in the UK. Visitors can browse the listings (bottom of the page for those links) and view descriptions of the jobs without registering, but you must register (free) and post some kind of profile in the database to get the contact info. Does look like it has some nice listings. My only gripe -- the Candidate search box on the front page seems to suggest they have job listings from all over the world, but my browsing along with a few quick search attempts doesn't find that to be true. Stick to the UK for now. Partners with ConstructionJobSearch.co.uk and a couple other sites.

Railway-Technology.com

...incredible source of information on the railway industry worldwide -- industry projects, companies who supply the rail industry, and much more . Check out the list of Industry Websites to connect to rail operators all over the world as well as related websites on this topic. The Job & Careers section is operated in conjunction with industryappointments.com, and most of the listings are in the UK.

RailwayPeople.com

...nice site with job listings for the rail industry. Yes, most of the listings are in the UK, but they do have some openings elsewhere. They also offer a directory of UK-based companies involved in this industry. Great resource!

JustRail.net

...jobs in the railway industry for all kinds of folks. Primarily UK but some other listings too. Part of the JobsGroup.net family of niche sites.

Bubbajunk.com

...jobs for truckers (including owner-operator), along with lists of schools and trucking companies. You can view the ads, the lists, and inded most areas of this site as a non-member, but membership gets you some added features (resume database, newsletter, etc.). Membership is free, does not require you to post your resume, and is kept confidential. Looks good.

Layover.com

Information and news for anyone involved in the trucking industry. The JobNet includes job listings for all facets of this industry from drivers to dispatchers to managers. There is also an online application that allows you to submit a resume to multiple companies without registering; however, registration does allow you to store your resume on this site and edit. My only problem with this application is that it asks for your Social Security number, age, and date of birth, and these are required fields. I would avoid this and go for the resume on the site instead.

1800Drivers, the Truck Driving Job Search Engine

...good source of job leads and job information for the trucking industry. If you are new to the industry, there are many postings for companies willing to train you. You will get back brief information on the jobs, but registration is required to view the full listing. No mention of fees is made on the site, but users may want to verify this. Related information at this site includes lots of good, useful links for truck drivers and others who might be interested in this industry.
