Time to focus on College students and recent grads. College students should be (those not graduating this year) should be thinking about summer intern jobs and College Seniors should be thinking about graduation (it is never too early) and what the job market might look like in May (hopefully better than now). Lastly, there are probably some recent College grads who have either lost their job as a result of the current market or are looking to make a change (probably for the same reasons).
This post will focus on several different resources for College students and recent grads:
- Wikijobs - Internships - Wikijobs (main site covered on October 27th - Sharing your Job Search Experiences) also has a very good article on Internships. This is definitely worth a read as the article describes the Internship process. There are also some useful links at the end of the article.
- Top 10 College Career Services Blogs - As the title indicates, this site lists the top college career blogs. Too much information to cover here, but you should definitely look at the blogs as they offer some good information. Additionally, there are some good links on the right-hand side of the site.
- VisualCV - VisualCV is a new way to build your resume (your marketing tool for your job search) using online tools. It not only allows your to keep your resume current (since all viewers will see the same resume, no need to “resend” when there are changes), but it allows you to embed video, audio and work samples. Additionally, you can control who can see your “visual” resume. A very innovative way to approach your resume/CV and job search.
- Google Jobs - This Google career/job search site is focused on student opportunities at Google. The site is organized by geographic region and offers background on Google, life and Google and “getting into Google”.
