Find out who the STC contact is for the Arizona chapter closest to Pheonix and
contact
him/her. The chapter employment contacts are usually very willing to tell you
about
openings and sometimes will even pass along resumes for you. Also, find out if
that
chapter has an employment hotline. Some of the larger chapters maintain hotlines
which list open positions in the area (this is how I got my job). I was in
school in Ohio,
looking for a job in the DC area. The phone number for the STC office, is
703.522.4114.
If you call, you can find out who the employment contacts for the Arizona
chapters are.
Also, if you are not already a member, join STC! :-)
Hope this helps a little. . .
