So, if I was going to start looking for a web hosting job, where would I turn to?  Well, there are three resources you should keep in mind.  You have the web host themselves, the web hosting forums out there, and special job hunting resources that will list for you spots available with a number of different web hosting companies.

Find Jobs at the Web Host

Some web hosts will look for contracted workers in their own user base, so that is something to keep in mind.  If you want to go work for one specific web host, join their user forums and help out as much as you can.  See if you can become friendly with the current staff, and let them know if there is a spot available, you would like to be the one to fill it. Many web hosts also have “employment” pages up with positions that are open in the company.

Find Jobs on the Web Hosting Forums

Web hosting forums are another place to look for web hosting related jobs.  One of the most popular out there would be the Employment Offers and Requests section over at WebHostingTalk.com.  Other web hosting forums may have equally as helpful resources too, to start looking for a new web hosting job.

Find Jobs on the Web Hosting Employment Resources

Be sure to check out the web sites that specialize in advertising web hosting jobs too.  One of the more popular job boards for web hosting positions is webhostingjobs.com.  Run by the same staff the control TheWHIR.com, they have a lot of jobs listed for local and remote positions.

Don’t get discouraged if you get turned down by the first web host you try to get a job with.  Just go to the next one on the list, or try to ask around at several web host if they have any spots available for you as a local technician or remote contracted worker.
