Networking and keeping your ear to the ground is probably the number one way to find out about positions. Asking people already in the business can be a big source of job leads.

Many college departments keen job announcements posted on the bulletin boards near the department office. Weather-casting positions are sometimes advertised in Broadcasting. Organizations such as the National Weather Service and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) routinely publish their open positions (now often in electronic format).

No matter what the position, you must be able to provide any employer with professional competence and good work habits.
