Rehabilitation Counseling - WWWRRC (Rasch\USF)

Employment Opportunities



Most jobs are found through an informal network of colleagues, friends, acquaintances and family; or by directly contacting employers who have not announced job openings. Once a position is advertised the competition frequently becomes more intense, especially if it is a good position. Finding that best job is a job in itself ... and the best positions are usually obtained by those who are the most persistent and determined job seekers.



The Rehabilitation Recruitment Center has a RehabJobs section that is a resource for job listings in the public rehabilitation program. It is a job bank designed specifically for rehabilitation professionals seeking employment and public rehabilitation programs looking to fill positions. Both job seekers and employers are encouraged to use it.
