Where should a (soon to be) college graduate go to look for a job online?
pixie_vixen117 asked:
I graduate college in May with a bachelors degree in Business and MIS, with a minor in economics and finance. I am trying to find entry level jobs, pretty much anywhere in the U.S and possibly international. I have tried Monster.com and hotjob, and so many of them require 5 or more years of experience, and when I have literally thousands of job postings to sort through, it makes it difficult to search. Is there a site out there for entry level management positions? Or I am stuck searching monster.com for hours on end, mostly with jobs that require work experience. Any tips on finding a job?

You might like what I do so that you can spend more time on your studies. See my profile and email since yahoo doesn’t like for us to relay links.
post your resume on monster.com
First, check out your college career center. They may have connections that you are not aware of. Also, monster is just a big trap. You cannot get straight to a recruiter or HR person there, your resume goes into a system rather than to a person.
Check out: (look for your location on the right side)
Then, also search for specific sites for the industry or skill sets you are looking to be in. Ie: Marketing Job Sites, etc. Use google to search for specific sites. Do not waste your time on Monster.
You might, and I stress might find a decent job on any of the on line sources, hotjobs, monster, career builder, etc. The best way to go about it is to sit down in front of your CPU and start googling businesses (like Sears, General Motors, etc.) and fill out applications on their sites. With the Internet job engines you are likely to only get responses from employers who will have you work for close to nothing while working long hours cold calling prospective clients.
the easiest way to get a job is have a friend recommend you. That way you will have insider information on pay, benefits, etc.
I would suggest governmentjobs.com. You can find all types of city,state, and county jobs across the nation. Benefits are great the only draw back is the pay is a little on the low side.
Or perhaps Hp they are hiring down in Costa Rica.
Use your college career center, also you may want to register with a few head hunter agencies to see what they may dig up for you.
Have you tried job websites like Careerbuilder and Craigslist? You could also search for jobs on websites like Simply Hired and Indeed. More information at
