Does anyone know of other job directories that have exclusive content just for finding jobs in the patent field?

I'm trying to put a list together to help my job search.
So far I have :
Noro IP's Patent Job Directory http://noroip.com/patent-job-center/job-directory/
and Intellectual Prop Law's Job Directory http://www.intelproplaw.com/Jobs.shtml

AIPLA used to be pretty good (link 1 below) but I was surprised to see only 5 jobs there at the moment.  Also, IPO (link2 below) wasn't bad and separates in-house from firm, but again looks like slim pickins right now.  McLaughlin (link3) allows you to split by firm/corporate and also by type of IP specialty, but they provide very little information about the jobs (wouldn't do to have you figuring out the employer's name on your own, now would it?) other than specialty, experience level and location.  Also due to lack of posting date it's hard to know how stale a given job is. 
Legallyminded (link4) scavenges from other places and seems to be relatively comprehensive.  But the keywords clearly do not screen enough since you get all kinds of other jobs ("Flavor Expert Engineer, Coca-Cola") despite using selection clicks like IP Attorney and Patent Attorney to try trim it down.  They also allow near spam posting of administrative jobs that you have to wade through, again despite specifying attorney-level jobs.  (But maybe it's a case of "operator error" which is why I'm posting it anyway).  And Professor Crouch over at Patently-O (link5) keeps IP-only jobs on tap, but there don't seem to be that many at the moment either.

try www.getpatentattorneyjobs.com.
Try also iplaw360's site. They occasionally have listings that the others don't have.

remember that 80-90% of jobs go unadvertised. you have to learn to schmooze.

 i am not surprised one bit about the AIPLA listings. It shows you what the state of the economy is.  Two years ago the AIPLA site had at least 30-40 postings.

All,

I am looking for a creative way to get patent prosecution experience.  Many recent graduates, like myself, look everywhere for that fabled "first ten" patent prosecutions to get enough experience to get over the experience hump and get that first interview.

Are there any websites that farm out patent applications to agents on a case by case basis?  Are there any non-profits that do this or similar work?  Will work for free.

Happy Fourth.  God Bless.

you can practice with patent prosecution on your own. for example, read some science journals and pretend that you've been hired to do the patent application on that technology. i am sure there are "How to Obtain a Patent by Yourself" type books out there, which you can use to guide you.  The quality won't necessarily be there right away, but you can explain in a cover letter to a law firm that you've been practicing patent application drafting.

I used to see a ton of jobs under "Patent agent" a couple of months ago. I don't see anything at all now. Has this website been reformatted? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I used to see a ton of jobs under "Patent agent" [at legallyminded website] a couple of months ago. I don't see anything at all now. Has this website been reformatted? What am I doing wrong?

Spa, it's not  you.  Legallyminded (which was a beta provided by the ABA) has been pretty much defunct for over a month.  Originally it worked as an aggregator and would pull from Fox, Jobs.com, Monster, etc.  But now it is apparently only taking direct listings? In any event, pretty much worthless.

Try www.indeed.com/jobs with the text "Title: patent" in the "What" block for a similar aggregator that still apparently works.  Once you've done that, note on the left you can select or deselect various iterations on the title "patent" such as specifying "patent agent" or "patent attorney", etc.  Then I'd run the same query using "Title: Intellectual" and sort through variations on that title to see if anything is of interest.  Note also near the top-right of the results you can sort by date, so that you don't have to keep sorting through old crud you've already discarded.

Also try http://www.job.com/my.job/search/ which allows better sorting by location and you can limit to last 7 days, 14 days, etc.  But it's much worse at culling out crud hits because the keyword function doesn't appear to allow for keyword location (such as, I can't seem to require it must be present in title).

Good fortunes in your search.

Good fortunes in your search.

Thanks DDPM9C! I appreciate your advice and your wishes. I seem to need a ton of those wishes.
