Here is a collection of job/career links which might be useful for the Houston job seeker. A good source of the company listings is Houston Business Journal’s Book of Lists (which unfortunately is available only in print — although most local libraries possess a copy). This is a work in progress. If a link doesn’t work, let me know idiotprogrammer at fastmailbox.net . Important Note:For personal reasons, I am generally not applying to any fossil fuel companies (read my explanation why); so I am not linking to them here.
