Career Resources

For those of you who may be graduating this year or who are looking to change careers, there are a variety of resources out there that can be helpful to you during this transition.

The Occupational Outlook Handbook is a wonderfully rich source of career information, revised every two years. According to their website, "the Handbook describes what workers do on the job, working conditions, the training and education needed, earnings, and expected job prospects in a wide range of occupations."

Of course, the Wall Street Journal has its own career site billed as "the premier career site for executives, managers, and professionals."

If you are looking for a job, there is always monster.com, but don't forget that networking is still key.
