COLLEGE SUCCESS TIPS
Career Planning
• Network With Alumni in Job Areas that Interest You. Your career center will most likely have a database of alumni who have already agreed to allow current students to contact them for networking purposes.
Networking is the best way to get first-hand information about working in a particular career, and can lead to opportunities to establish relationships with the decision-makers who might ultimately offer you a job at their company.
• Explore Online Career Resources. There are several excellent websites dedicated to career exploration services. Here are a few of the better-known ones:
www.collegerecruiter.com
This site specializes in internships and entry-level positions.
www.indeed.com
A no-frills job search site with jobs arranged by starting salary.
www.monster.com
A huge database of job openings, articles, career tools, and advice.
www.careerbuilder.com
Another excellent job search website with nationwide coverage.
www.career.com
An interactive recruitment advertising site focused on connecting qualified job seekers with employers in the high-tech fields.
