Career courses

In some cases, you may even receive academic credit. Courses will typically also cover the basics of resume writing, interview etiquette and job searching.

Job Fairs

Campus career days are also convenient for students; however, they are not geared towards recruiting. Nevertheless, it's a good time to meet companies and learn about what they do. Commercial job fairs are hosted at independent locations, attract several hundred people and cater to a wide range of professional occupations.

The Internet
The Internet is your source of online articles, magazines and sites dedicated to job searching, relocation, resume writing and posting. You'll discover hundreds of links to resources like these:
