Using Online Resources in Your Job Search

Career Information Job Search Resources

Career information includes information about occupations, educational institutions, training programs, employment, employers, industries, organizations, family, leisure and the process of making career choices.

When you are preparing for a career or field of study, you must do some basic research on the career and the types of opportunities available. Know what the profession does, where it does it, and what kind of jobs it has. Know as much as possible about the educational and skill requirements.

Career planning is identifying what you're good at and how your skills, talents and interests translate into work and learning options that make sense for you. It is about identifying how you want to live your life.

Career planning is a lifelong process, which includes choosing an occupation, getting a job, growing in our job, possibly changing jobs or occupations, and eventually retiring. Career planning is a cyclical process that continues throughout your career.

Tips for Your Job Search

The reality for most management, professional and executive job seekers is that they have far too much time and effort invested in their profession and career to seriously consider a major change in direction. Most professionals will stay on a clearly defined path and have little, if any need for information on alternative professions. The directory does contain information on occupational outlook which may be useful for evaluating specific industries or long term planning.

Individuals requiring career information can use this directory to find detailed information on particular occupations. Use the Directory to locate information that could be useful in your job search. Investigate the material and resources available on each site for immediate use or for future reference.
