Criminal Justice Career Opportunities
Note: I haven't updated this section for a few years
and some of the links are no longer valid.
I'll rework this section in the near future.
It's important to remember
that most criminal justice jobs are at the county or municipal
level. These jobs may be advertised only at the local level. You
should check directly with local
agencies or look in the help wanted ads in the area where you want to work.
That said, the
web sites below might be useful for generally poking around the job market.
I recommend that you start your search by talking to the
staff at Penn State Altoona's
Career Services office. They will not only give you advice to help you
locate
opportunities, but can help you develop skills that will help you land the
position.
Penn State Altoona Career Services
A few useful sites to help you search for criminal justice
jobs within Pennsylvania:
PA State Civil Service Commission
The
Bureau of State Employment directs hiring for non-civil service jobs in PA,
including
some positions in corrections and state level investigative agencies.
Pennsylvania Career Link
is a state government operated web site that tries to link
job seekers with private employers.
A few useful sites to help you search nationwide:
USAJOBS.com is the official job site of the
federal government
GOVTJOB.net lists opportunities in all levels
of government
GOVTJOB.net public safety and
criminal justice section
LawEnforcementJobs.com has job

The career links page

links available
on the web. This link
takes you to the job listings section of his site.
