From Kossack ptressel: The following are organizations that specialize in candidates belonging to particular categories. A specialist organization can be especially helpful, as they will understand the particular roadblocks for specific categories (e.g. racism), or specific needs for candidates (e.g. scientists may need to learn casual public speaking, not lecturing...). This is not an exhaustive list...
