On a whim tonight I decided to look for jobs as a Human Performance Technologist. Many times I learn as much about the industry from detailed job ads as I do from other sources.
The simply hired site had many openings for a HPT. Most companies required experience with ADDIE as related to performance improvement initiatives. The company L-3 communications has the majority of ads. Locations for the jobs are around the country and seem to involve defense dept. contracts. http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/q-Human+Performance+Technologist
Another search revealed a position as the Asst Professor of Human Performance at IU. This position required the usual teaching responsibilities in the HPT area but also wanted an experienced consultant to corporations. This is always a plus in an instructor - real world experience can add valuable examples for students.

Job #3 was found in a Christian company in Nashville (http://jobview.monster.com/GetJob.aspx?JobID=79837460&AVSDM=2009-03-10%2014:32:00&WT.mc_n=RSS2005_JSR). This position required a master's degree and is probably related to designing programs within a learning management system.
The final job reviewed this evening was for a Senior Analyst, Performance Technology. This postition requrired similar training but seemed more targeted to Human Resources management than to design of training systems. This candidate will oversee the broad application of training technology within the company.http://www.empleoscb.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobDetails.aspx?job_did=J8D55B792P59D380QDD&cbRecursionCnt=1&cbsid=4f0ad99f50a54bebb2125e89cb0b3235-290464125-x6-6
