- Job Search Tip of the Week, by Brian Krueger, author of "College Grad Job Hunter," the #1 book for entry level job search:
"Where to Deliver the First Copy of Your Finished Resume"
To the Career Center at your campus. Ideally, you should do this as early as possible in your final year--beginning of the first semester of your final year is best. Why? Three reasons. First, most Career Centers put together a paper or electronic resume collection that they send out to prospective employers. Second, they will send out your resume individually to those employers requesting resumes for prospective graduates in a particular major or career focus, including those employers who are pre-screening potential candidates for on-campus interviews. And third, usually you cannot begin to sign up for on-campus interviewing until this step is complete.
Where to Deliver the Second Copy of Your Finished Resume
To the Internet. But not just any destination on the Net. Post your resume to CollegeGrad.com, the #1 entry level job site, where it will get noticed:
Note that you will need to follow specific strategies for modifying your resume for Internet usage. Please see our information on preparing Internet resumes before posting your resume to the Net.

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.
