Showing up on time is important, but you should never walk into an interview emptyhanded. It won't guarantee a job offer, but bringing the right things will give you a much better chance of succeeding. Don't get caught unprepared, watch our one-minute-video tip:

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 Your Finished Resume"
Deliver the first copy to the Career Center at your campus. Ideally, you should do this as early as possible in your final year. In fact, the beginning of the first semester of your final year is best. Why? Three reasons. First, many Career Centers will put together a paper or electronic resume collection which may be sent to prospective employers. Second, they may send out your resume (either hardcopy or electronic) to employers requesting resumes for prospective graduates in a particular major or career focus. And third, your Career Center may not allow you to sign up for on-campus interviewing until this step is complete.
Next, post it to the Internet. But not just any destination on the Net. First, post your resume to www.CollegeGrad.com/resumes where it will be searched by employers seeking to hire entry level college grads. CollegeGrad.com is the number one entry level job site per Yahoo, Google and Alexa and dedicated to entry level job search. 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.

"Why Doctoral Degrees Add Up"
It's no big secret that doctoral degrees open career doors that remain firmly locked for those with master's degrees or lower. Some professions require them, while others reward them handsomely with tremendous advancement potential, job flexibility, and, of course, more money. In fact, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, doctoral degree holders earn nearly $28,000 more each year than those with master's degrees alone, and nearly $40,000 more than those with bachelor's degrees. Lifetime earnings can exceed $3.4 million, making the initial time and money you invest worthwhile.

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.
