Work for Minorities
The following category is dealt with more thoroughly in the latest edition of the companion book to this site, Job Hunting on the Internet by Richard N. Bolles & Mark Emery Bolles. But here are a few to get you started:
IMDiversity
The best of the sites for minorities. Besides the standard resume- and job posting facilities, the site is divided into "villages", with resources and articles of special interest for African-Americans, Native-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, Women, and general minorities. The Career Center page is well done, and there is much here that is of value to everyone, regardless of ancestry.

LatPro
From this highly regarded site, which bills itself as "The essential Job Board for Hispanic and bilingual professionals", comes one of the best Resource links pages to be found on an Internet job site, regardless of focus. Many of the links lead to Hispanic resources in the U.S, as well as Central and South America. For those who are thinking of relocating outside the U.S into the Spanish speaking world, there are links to education and job hunting resources, as well as networking and newspaper sites.

Job Hunting After 35
It's not that the elderly are a minority, exactly; there sure seems to be a lot of them. But if any group is routinely discriminated against in the job-hunt more, with less thought, I don't know who that is. (You might argue African-Americans or Hispanics, but try being an old African-American or Hispanic.) There are not many resources for the elderly when job-hunting, though this article offers the standard advice that is pretty much echoed by everyone else. I was a little upset to find that the keyword "elderly" in a standard Google search kicked back an article about job-hunting after age thirty-five.
