For Further Help: Career Counseling Offices
| For Further Help: Career Counseling Offices | ||
| If the other tests, manuals and articles don't give you what you want in the way of career counseling, your life preserver could be the Career Offices on the Internet. There are two kinds: College or University Career Offices, that have online presence's – often with useful job-hunting advice, and other materials; and Non-profit or commercial Career Offices that are online. |  | |
| College or University Career Offices Online | ||
| A number of sites list such offices, but I think the best lists are to be found at: | | |
| CareerMosaic Campus Directory http://www.careermosaic.com/cm/cc/cc8.html | ||
| CareerMosaic and Headhunter.net are now one company, but for the time being at least, CareerMosaic still has its own site. The url above will take you to a comprehensive list of American University and College Career Centers that are on the Web, with additional links to Canadian centers, and Worldwide centers – plus, other people's lists, such as Peterson's. Very impressive. | |
| RPI Career Resource http://www.rpi.edu/dept/cdc/homepage.html | ||
| This site, maintained by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has a good list of career counseling sites, at least for the U.S. | |
| Nonprofit or Commercial Career Offices Online | ||
| Many of the famous commercial job-listing sites on the Internet – such as CareerMosaic – function essentially as Online Career Counseling Offices, with other services besides job listings or resume postings. Go browse them to see. My Parachute Picks from among nonprofit or commercial sites: | | |
| JobStar http://jobstar.org/ | ||
| Developed by job expert Mary Ellen Mort, this is a great career counseling site, to my mind, one of the top three job-related sites on the Web. While the focus of this site is California, it has many articles that apply to all job hunters: A list of (and links to) online career guides, a truly great section on resumes, descriptions of the hidden job market, a place to write with your career counseling questions ("Ask Electra"), news of California job fairs and job hotlines, not to mention the best collection of salary surveys that exists on the Internet. | |
| Forty+Plus http://www.fp.org/chapters.htm | ||
| Here we go 'offline.' If you are over forty years of age, are 'a professional' and want to find a career counseling support group in your geographical area, this is a nice updated list of such support groups – and where they are to be found, in major cities of the U.S. and Canada. | |
