The
CollegeBound Network NewsClick -- Thinking about
your future career while still in school? You
don't have to wait post-high school/college to
get a jump start on your job plans -- simply start
surfing the wave of online job sites!
Monster.com
has an extra edge over the competition, with over
one million job postings on its network. Its Career
Center contains 3,000 pages of résumé
help, networking tips, salary data, job profiles,
and interview etiquette to browse. Cool Click:
You can post your résumé on the
site for potential employers to view. And if your
new job forces you to relocate, this job site
can help out.
Think
onward and upward when you log onto HotJobs.com.
Set up a free profile to access jobs by category,
company, and U.S./international locations. Also,
its career tools section offers advice on how
to search for online education opportunities in
order to advance your career. Cool Click:
The site offers college graduates tips on interview
etiquette and portfolio building.
Are
you ready to work? If so, Thingamajob.com
wants to provide you with an opportunity. Unlike
most employment Web sites, Thingamajob provides
job seekers with a very different kind of hiring
experience by extending their services beyond
the Web site. If you don't find a job on the site,
a local recruiter with one of many divisions is
ready and willing to help you find employment.
Create a free account with your résumé,
and you'll become a member of the community.
Cool Click: Recruiters are dedicated to match
your experience and desired position with one
of the site's many job opportunities.
In addition to providing a calendar of beneficial
events and seminars for job searchers, Flipdog.com's
database offers jobs from big and small companies
and public and private organizations. Cool
Click: Flipdog created JobHunters, which searches
24/7 for positions matching your job search criteria.
If
high school/college graduation has you desiring
part-time money, SnagAJob.com is for you.
Use your student profile to find part-time/seasonal
positions. And since its database is continually
being updated, any post-college grad can find
a job. Cool Click: In case you're wondering
which companies post positions on the site, SnagAJob
employers include Bath & Body Works, Walt
Disney World, Victoria's Secret, Express, T.G.I.
Friday's, and many more.
