- Job Search Tip of the Week, by Brian Krueger, author of "College Grad Job Hunter," the #1 book for entry level job search:

"Company-site Interviewing Success"

The company-site interview is often the final step in the interview process before an eventual job offer. However, you first need to survive the close scrutiny that comes along with it. Instead of just meeting with one person, you may be meeting with three or four. Instead of a simple half-hour interview, you may be subjected to a half- or full-day of interviews. And tests. But all with the promised reward dangling within your reach.

The company-site interview is also your final opportunity to evaluate the company. You will be given the opportunity to see the inside of the company and meet with some of the key people. Possibly some of the people you will be working with. And you will gain a better understanding of the true work environment.

Your sponsor has a vested interest in your doing well at the company-site interview. This person, who may have initially been a screener, is now an includer. You will be the personal representation of what they view as a potential new employee. In a way, their professional reputation is on the line whenever a new person is brought back to the company-site. No one wants to hear the dreaded, "Why did you invite that person back?"

So take advantage of this turn of the tables. The person who was against you is now for you. Be prepared to ask some questions:

"Who will I be meeting with?"

"What is this person's background?"

"What will they be looking for in the interview?"

"Will there be any other activities scheduled during the day?"

"What can I do to prepare myself further for your company?"

"Can you send me additional material about your company?"

You have a free opportunity not only to ask the questions, but to ask for recommendations. You will get a true insider view of what it takes to be successful at your company-site interview. Your sponsor is now your advocate. Build your personal connection to your mutual benefit.

- Job Search Book Online

There are at least two other entry level Web sites that offer books on job searching, proclaming that they will tell you everything you need to know about entry level job search.

However, there is a very important point about these books they don't mention up front: they cost money.

At CollegeGrad.com, we give you two things they don't:

    1. The #1 entry level job search book ("College Grad Job Hunter").
    2. It's free.

It's that simple. So don't buy the hype. Read the real information you need for FREE:

Don't ever pay for books or reports or resources of lower quality when you can access the very best quality information for free.

P.S. Yes, you can buy "College Grad Job Hunter" in hardcopy format as well at Amazon.com for $15 (actually, 30% off that price), but the online version is better. Why? Because the version at Amazon.com (the 2003 edition) is being continually updated at CollegeGrad.com. So the most current version of the book is actually the online, free version.
