Searching for a job or internship may seem hopeless, so don't do it alone. Make sure that you are expending all of the resources available to you on and off campus.Personally, I despise technology -- mostly because it despises me, but also because of the way it has made living without it absolutely impossible. One thing that I can't hate about it, however, is that it has made searching for anything easier.So, use websites like these to narrow your search and find the perfect position for you. Some basic and popular websites for college graduates (or some undergrads) finding a job include:
- Monster.com
- Dice.com
- snagajob.com
- jobster.com
- careers.tcu.edu/frogjobs.html
- college.monster.com
- careers.tcu.edu/frogjobs.html
- internmatch.com
- YouTern.com
- internships.com
LinkedIn.com is a great site where employers can view the resumes and personal connections of college students, recent graduates, and other potential employees. If you do get one of these sites, don't forget to keep up with it, though. You want to get as "connected" as possible.
Weebly.com or similar sites that will allow you to create a personal website just to market your skills to employers.
Facebook is the staple of social networking. Most students have had Facebook for nearly a decade now, so they know the ins and outs of how to use it. The problem with Facebook, however, is that we have changed a lot since that decade of use began, and taking your profile to the professional level may take a lot of work -- and a lot of deleting.
Frogjobs profile is something that you will want to create when you first access the site to scope out what local jobs and internships are available. As your search continues, you will want your profile to as well.
