Here are some of the best places to look for a job in the industry. Visit 1-5 daily:

1. Talentzoo.com

2. CreativeHotList.com

3. Twitter: don’t use websites like twitterjobs.com or anything similar. They are just aggregates that search for hashtags. Most creative directors that post job openings on Twitter do it like Luke Sullivan who tweeted something like: “Looking for a couple of copywriters. Send me your book if you don’t suck.”

You’re going to have to weed out a lot of irrelevant stuff, but just search Twitter for “copywriter” or whatever you’re looking for.

4. Craigslist. Seriously. You’d be surprised how many agencies post stuff. If you are open to relocating and want to see every location, Google this: “copywriter site:craigslist.org”

5.  AdvertisingCrossing.com. This is an aggregate that searches the web for job openings. If you want to see the name of the company that has the job opening, you’ll either have to pay whatever fees they charge or simply use a little Google-fu and figure it out yourself for free. Of the numerous listings posted on this site, there was only one that I wasn’t able to figure out which company it was. Start by Googling the entire first sentence of the listing. If that doesn’t work, move on to Googling the position title and the name of the city the opening is in.

6.  Linkedin.com has an area for job openings. This is one that you can check once a month and not see many new listings, but there are some.

7.  Facebook/Twitter. There are a number of schools and creative recruiters that post to facebook and twitter. Follow/become a fan of  companies like Creative Movers, Miami Ad School, and any agency (or creative directors) that you are really interested in.

8. Don’t waste your time on Monster, Hotjobs, and so on. Most anything you find there is for the client-side.
