Companies, associations, universities and governmental entities are some of the most common employers.If for example, you are interested in applying to a school district you may wish to access the School Report Cards available through the Arizona Department of Education http://www.ade.state.az.us/postjob_inter or go directly to the web page of a specific district. Another source of information about employment within the school system is the Arizona Educational Employment Board http://www.arizonaeducationjobs.com/
