Back to school and focusing on your final semester before graduation? Not only is this the final approach to your college degree, but you should also be putting the final touches on your job search following graduation. Back in December (Recent Grads – Taking Aim for Targeted Job Search) I reviewed some of the basics for a targeted job search, namely Internships, Campus Recruiting and Career Fairs. This should still be the plan, but you should begin to supplement this with a broader plan and additional resources for job search.
- CampusCareerCenter.com – “Jobs, Guidance, Networking . . . Options” – the tag line for this site. The site leads with who’s hiring, with several employers listed on the main page. There is a wealth of resource links on the first page as well – Interships, Cover Letters, Prepare for your Interview and more. There are tools and resources down the left-hand side of the page including research companies and job search. Click the “Post Resume” tab at the top to register, post your resume and get started. Looks like you must register to use the job search.
- CollegeJobBoard.com -The main page of this site lists featured employers, with job categories listed down the right hand side of the page. There are related article links as well as a resource center (which is a little light on content). The job seeker home link is restricted to registered users only. Overall, this site seems light on content and resources.
- Center for Career Opportunities – This is a Purdue University site and is designed to provide additional sources of information and job leads. The right-hand side of the page lists a number of databases to help in your job search. This is primarily a list of resources so you will need to explore the resources to help in your search.
- Groovejob.com – This is a pretty neat site. The site focuses on Teen Jobs, Student Jobs and Summer Jobs. The site lists featured employers in the main section of the screen. There are a number of resources as well – Resumes, Career Assessment, Interview tips, Student Resources and more. Most of the jobs appear to be part time, but I did not register on the site to see the full functionality.
Good luck in your search.
