In search of the perfect job
Web helps career hunt
While your teachers give you valuable training to prepare you for a career, they rarely teach you how to begin that career. You can broaden your horizons by searching the internet for career information and job openings.
First , examine some of the job search web sites. These resources list thousands of openings in hundreds of fields , companies, and locations. For example , the u.s. department of labor web sites, shown in figure 27 , allow you to find information for different types of jobs. This information may include the training and education required , salary data , working conditions , job descriptions , and more. In addition, many companies advertise careers on their websites.
When a company contacts you for an interview, learn as much about it and the industry as possible before the interview . Many of the web sites listed in figure 28 include detailed company profiles and links to their corporate web sites.
Figure 27 The occupational outlook handbook provides career information to those searching for jobs.
