Exploring Careers on the Web

The Web is one of the newest ways to explore careers that may interest you. You can begin to gather information by going to a Web site devoted to jobs such as JobWeb.com

http://www.jobweb.com/

This site presents a variety of career-related sites.

In addition, you can find help wanted advertisements for many jobs on the Web. In fact, it is possible to apply directly for jobs using the Web. Some firms advertise their job needs on their company sites, and you can send--directly to their site--a cover "letter" and a resumé listing your education and experience. An increasing number of jobs are obtained in this way.

Here are some of the best job sites avaialble. Take a look at them and see which one looks the most promising for your interests and needs:

http://www.monster.com/ - Monster.com

http://www.hotjobs.com/ - HotJobs.com

http://jobsmart.org/tools/resume/ - JobSmart: Resumés and Cover Letters



Keep this in mind, too: The computer expertise you develop during college will later help you in your professional life. Already, more and more jobs require at least minimal computer skills, and every projection of the future suggests that computers will become a central facet of the workplace.
