If you are looking for a WordPress related job as a designer, coder or blogger, you should find this list of job boards and freelancing websites very useful. Those of you are looking to contract out certain tasks for your site will find the list handy too 
Job Boards
With job boards you should contact the website owner and give a brief introduction about yourself and link to your work online, whether it be articles you have published online or websites you have helped design. Try and only provide relevant information. Website owners who are looking for people to do a job for them are generally busy so don’t have time to read 1,000 word applications. Be concise but be informative.
The Woo Themes job board lists jobs for a range of WordPress related positions. Employers can post 30 day job listings for free.

One of the most popular job boards on the web for blogging jobs. A large majority of the jobs advertised are for WordPress powered websites.
A crude looking website though there are some good jobs posted here from time to time. It’s free to post a job listng too.
Very similar to WP Hired, WP Job List lists jobs for WordPress bloggers, designers and programmers. Job listings aren’t unique. All job listings are pulled from the job search engine Indeed.com. Don’t let this put you off though as there are a lot of great positions listed here.
An active freelance job board that lists jobs for design, development, writing, illustration, flash and more. Although it doesn’t exclusively list WordPress jobs, there are quite a lot of WordPress related jobs advertised here and it’s free to post a job.
The official job board from Autommatic lists designer, programmer and blogger jobs. It’s quite an active board and it’s free to post a job.
The Smashing Magazine job board tends to list full time jobs though some freelance jobs are posted too. Employers have to pay $75 to advertise a freelance contract and $225 for a full time position.
Freelance Websites
Freelancing websites are a little more competitive as freelancers privately or publicly compete with each other job listings. Due to this, employers place a large amount of importance on the profile of a freelancer. In particular, how other employers have rated and reviewed the previous jobs the freelancer has taken.
The downside to this is that you may struggle to get work initially if you don’t have an online presence (e.g. company website with proven track record) and may have to work below your normal rate until you build up your reputation. The good news is that freelancers who have completed a lot of jobs successfully for clients and ensured that the clients were happy from start to finish will be able to charge a little more and, on average, get more jobs than freelancers who haven’t proven themselves in their niche.
Jobs are usually paid on a per job or per hour basis. Ongoing positions tend pay per hour.
Probably the most well known freelance website on the web, Elance frequently lists WordPress positions. Due to its popularity, it can be quite a competitive marketplace.

Another good freelancing website that posts WordPress related jobs regularly.
A good site if you are looking for work as a designer. Website owners create competitions and designers submit their entries. The website owner then chooses what they consider to be the best entry and the corresponding designer is paid accordingly.
