Job Search Resources | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

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
If you're looking for more of a learning experience, and you think that an internship will give you that, then consider these sites:
  • college.monster.com
  • careers.tcu.edu/frogjobs.html
  • internmatch.com
  • YouTern.com
  • internships.com
Aside from using websites to just look for a job, think of the Internet as a way for future jobs to look for you. Consider using these sites:
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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
