- Job Search Tip of the Week, by Brian Krueger, author of "College Grad Job Hunter," the #1 book for entry level job search:
"The Lineage Mileage Technique"
First priority in job fair lines is always to read the employer materials. But what then? Time to stare off into space? No. Long lines hold yet another opportunity for you to take advantage of in your job search. More networking.
Simply turn to those in line in front or in back of you and ask them the standard job fair question: "What are you looking for here today?" Ask them about other employers they may have spoken with at the job fair--the good, the bad, and the ugly. Avoid the ugly. And ask them about their job search in general. Any particularly promising employers?
Remember that we all like to talk about ourselves. Now is not the time for you to spout on excessively about your success (or lack thereof) on your most recent job search excursion. You are there to listen and gather information. You will learn infinitely more by listening to others than by listening to yourself.
Take copious mental notes. And remember that your network has just grown in size by one.

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.
