What is a good resource for finding Aerospace Engineering jobs?

My boyfriend is looking for a job in VA. He has a masters in Aerospace Engineering and is looking to go private. We are having a difficult time searching for jobs on the internet. It is not your basic job search. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What is a good resource for finding Aerospace Engineering jobs?
1.) School career fair.


2.) Study current topics in aerospace magazines. They will always name several companies. Look into those companies, and you will find out who they subcontract to. By the time you exhaust a few of these leads, you will have 30 or so potential companies, of which at least 10 will probably be hiring.


3.) The obvious choices:


Boeing


Lockheed Martin


Northrub Grumman


Honeywell


Raytheon





All of these have masters level jobs posted all over the country. If you are looking only in Virginia, obviously your choices may be more limited. If you boyfriend has a master's but no experience, he may need to be willing to accept an entry level position. However, he will probably still recieve a higher starting offer, and will probably advance more quickly.
