Ashley,

I'm facing similar challenges, as I just graduated with my masters degree from Columbia University.  I've found that going to the museum's web pages often gives you the most up to date job postings. Also the Association for Academic Museums and Galleries has a good selection of jobs.

I have bookmarked few websites that focuses on museum employment openings.  Also for internships, both paid and unpaid. I am in my final semester as a graduate student in museum studies program at Syracuse University and will be graduating this May.  I am quite anxious about finding a job or internship somewhere and I am very ware of the difficult economical climate that we are experiencing right now. I would like to know if there are any good museum employment/professional network websites that I may have overlooked.  I want to state that I have drawn my job search plan with a list of cities I would like to obtain either employment or internship this coming summer or later.  Before I list those cities, I am not limiting myself to those cities as I am open to almost anywhere but I hope to land in any of my preferred cities.  Here is the list of cities below:
> 
> Boston, Toronto, Washington D.C., Chicago, Minneapolis/St.Paul, Denver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Australia (any major city there).
