Jobs and Professional Networking Listservs

Subscribe to the Job Announce list to receive job listings collected by World Learning’s Career Services Center. Listings contain a full range of job types, from nonprofits to government offices to schools and universities.

Subscribe to Professional Networking Discussion to exchange information and advice on your career with other World Learning alumni.

Our listservs function like any other listserv. You can sign to receive each email or to receive a daily digest version. Although we encourage healthy discussions, these listservs are intended for networking and career purposes only. Please read instructions on how to sign up below. Please be sure to follow our listserv etiquette policy below.

If you are experiencing any problems, please email us at ourworld@worldlearning.org.

World Learning's Listserve Etiquette Policy:

We believe in order to have healthy discussions and communications between users, our users should follow common sense.

Listserve etiquette includes the following:

  • Do not post messages containing defamatory, abusive, profane or offensive language.
  • Do not "flame" individuals via the list.
  • Conflicts should be resolved in personal emails; please do not respond to the entire list.
  • Do not use all upper case letters when writing; this is seen as shouting.
  • Feel free to express your ideas, thoughts and feelings; however, please do so without personally offending or attacking another individual, their beliefs or their posting.
  • Be respectful of others' postings.

Our standard policy when someone doesn’t follow etiquette is on first offense to remind users of listserve etiquette. After a second episode, we send users a warning. After a third instance, we will remove the user from the listserve. If after that point, if you wish to be reinstated, please email us and we will make a decision on a case-by-case basis.
