What’s that sound you hear? Ah yes, the sound of the seconds ticking by on the “graduation clock”. And we all know how it goes down. Your father has been asking you for a year now (and, just to be clear, that is a year before you graduate) – “Have you started looking for a job yet?” But worse than that, you are getting all of this advice from the Old Man as well. And how old is your father? Probably late 40’s or early 50’s at best. What does he know about looking for a job in the 21st century? Well he may not know how to use Twitter and he (hopefully) doesn’t have a Facebook account, but believe it or not, the basic job search tools have not changed (Resume, Cover Letter, Elevator Speech, etc.). Yeah sure, the Internet was not a tool your father used for job hunting when he was your age (did they even have electricity back then?), but the process has not changed. One of the best places to start your search is on the College Career page of employers, and that is what is covered in this post.
- Internal Revenue Service – The IRS has a great College Student / Recent Grad page as part of their Careers section. There are tabs at the top for About IRS, Working at IRS and Opportunities. Center page provides an overview with a Search & Apply box. There is a short video on the right hand side of the screen (Meet Our Employees). Below this are a broad range of resources, including “Fun Career Tools”. There were 72 job opportunities when I checked the site.
- General Electric – GE is involved in way too many businesses to list here. There are over 300,000 people in over 100 locations (according to the website) and they are world-renowned for their management training programs . Their “University Students” page has links on the left hand side for Job Search, Careers, Why GE and more. Center page are links to their Undergraduate Leadership Programs, Internship and Co-ops programs and much more. To the right of this there is a link for “Start Your Job Search”. – there were 4,291 jobs opportunities when I checked the site.

The left hand side of the page has similar links, plus additional links for other career related topics. Clicking on “View Opportunities for College Students” yields 13 College Student job opportunities plus 251 other job opportunities.
- Intel – Intel is know for computer chips and their college careers page is well done. The left hand side of the page is filled with relevant links (like Job Search, Intern/Grad Opportunities, a Jobs Blog and so much more).
