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

"Your Graduation Job Search Schedule"

Congratulations. You have just accepted a full-time job. Full-time job search, that is. Do not conduct your job search with anything less than a full-time effort. Without full-time commitment, you increase the amount of time you will be without work--which decreases your attractiveness in the job market.

Following is a simple work schedule to follow:

7:30 a.m. - Early morning callbacks to contacts you were unable to reach the previous day.

8:30 a.m. - Off to the library or Career Center to do further research and write follow-up letters from the day before.

12:30 p.m. - -Hit the telephone all afternoon. Do not stop until you have contacted every potential employer and every potential contact.

4:30 p.m. - Send same day follow-up e-mails or letters to the most promising contacts of the day.

5:30 p.m. - One last attempt to reach all those who were unreachable during the day.

In looking at the above, there is one major activity missing: interviewing. Until you spend the time to make direct contact with potential employers, there will not be any interviewing. There are worse things than having your day filled with interviews. When that starts happening, you will know that your new job is within reach.

- 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:

http://www.CollegeGrad.com/book

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.
