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

"Resume Experience in Twelve Different Flavors"

Consider the following to be a comprehensive (although not all-inclusive) listing of possible avenues for gaining further experience:

    1. Internships

    2. Summer jobs

    3. Campus jobs

    4. Entrepreneurial/self-employed jobs

    5. Temporary work

    6. Volunteer work--school, church, club, not-for-profit organizations

    7. Special projects

    8. Research papers

    9. Certification courses

    10. Campus activity positions

    11. Fraternity/sorority/social club positions

    12. Extracurricular or sports leadership positions

Review the above list. Use it as your checklist. Don't ever again fall into the trap of saying that you don't have any real experience. If you haven't experienced it yet, create it or make it happen on your own. Remember--experience is #1 on nearly every employer's list of preferred attributes for entry level hires. Somewhat ironic, since we are still talking about entry level jobs. But experience is #1 on their list. Make sure it is also #1 on your list.

And if it is late in the year (or already past graduation) it's still not too late to generate real world work experience. But first be sure to look back on what you have already accomplished. You may have already gained real experience that you have not fully recognized. And your future is still wide open for additional experiences. Keep it focused toward your goal and do everything within your power (and then some on top of that) to reach your goal.

- 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.
