Job Search Tip of the Week, by Brian Krueger, author of "College Grad Job Hunter," the #1 book for entry level job search:
"The Fifteen-Second Proof Technique"
After you have gone through the initial resume reviews and revisions, use this technique to verify the final results. Provide your resume to a group of reviewers, ranging from professors to industry contacts to friends. Ask them to take just fifteen seconds to review the resume, hand it to them, hold them to the time limit, then ask what they remembered.
You will often be surprised what jumps off the page for them in those fifteen seconds. Keep in mind that fifteen seconds is usually the maximum amount of time an employer will give your resume in the initial review. If the key facts and points do not make their impact, you may need to change the order or emphasis to ensure that they do. It is only when your resume is able to pass this fifteen-second proof that it is truly ready for prime time.

"Hot Industries: Business"
It's no secret that some of the highest salaried workers in the United States are in the business world. Business degrees come in many forms, tackling areas of study as diverse as: finance, management, marketing, human resources, and more. Because these specialties benefit all industries, a business degree offers tremendous opportunity and flexibility.
While associate and bachelor's degrees in business are common, those who strive to make it to the higher echelons of business typically earn Masters of Business Administration (MBAs). An MBA can not only be your ticket into a variety of careers within business, but to higher earning and advancement potential, too. According to PayScale, the average US salaries for MBA holders varies from about $60 thousand to more than $120 thousand a year, depending on the position, but higher management can earn substantially more.

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:
- The #1 entry level job search book ("College Grad Job Hunter").
- 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 is being continually updated at CollegeGrad.com. So the most current version of the book is actually the online, free version.
