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

"The On-Campus Final Impression Technique"

Want to leave an excellent final impression? Write out your "Thank You" note immediately after the interview and hand-deliver it before the interviewer leaves at the end of the day. Final decisions for company-site callbacks are usually made the same day, so strike while it still matters. If you were not the last interview on their schedule, sit down in the waiting room and scribe your response on the "Thank You" stationery that you brought with you. Then give the card to the receptionist and ask them to please pass on the card to the interviewer. If you are the last interview of the day, write a very quick note and get it to your interviewer before he or she leaves (most recruiters spend a few minutes organizing the accumulated information before departing). You can even have part of the note (the "thanks for your time" opening) pre-written ahead of time. Then track the person down before he or she leaves the building (beware of alternate escape routes!).

If you are unable to get your thank you card to the interviewer, call the office and ask for the interviewer's voicemail. When messages are checked that evening, your personal thank you will make a lasting impression.

If you are unable to do any of the above, send an e-mail thank you to the e-mail address on the business card.

By taking these simple steps, you will definitely stand out from the crowd.

- 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.
