Answer 1

You can check the state jobs listings, either by job class, agency or location:

http://www.osp.state.nc.us/jobs/index.html#title

You can try your local Joblink office or go online at:

http://www.ncesc.com/individual/jis/jisMain.asp?init=true to find some.

You don't mention what you want to do, specifically, but you could sign on with a temp agency that does scientific placements to see if you can get a foot in the door. Try Manpower, for example:

Answer 2

Take the federal exam. Most Biology jobs are government related. I think it's under something like gov.jobs . . . Or look at your states environmental department. My uncle works for Wildlife and Fisheries and they always have a hard time finding good people.

Answer 3

Try http://www.jobing.com/ or Craigslist.org
