Free Job Search Help

Find Free Job Search Help

Here are some other ideas that are helpful to all job seekers, whether they've graduated from college or not.
Check with your local local public library to see what they have in their career research and job search collections. Ask if they offer job search workshops or run a job search club.
Look for regional/local branches of professional associations for the field(s) of interest to you to tap their networking potential.
Go online for advice and job listing links. Some of the best sites include:

• About.com Job Searching
• The Riley Guide: Employment Opportunities and Job Resources on the Internet

Check with your local Chamber of Commerce to ask about career/job fairs that may be planned for the near future. Search the Chamber of Commerce International Directory for contact information.
Tap resources and services available through your state's Department of Labor. You’ll find both online resources as well as in-person options. For more in-depth information on this idea, refer to the previously published article, Departments of Labor: Job Referrals, Training and Other Employment Services.
Find Career Counselor
Finally, if you want actual career counseling (rather than just job search advice and resources) and live at too great a distance to make the often-mandatory in-person sessions with career counselors from your alma mater(s) feasible, you may want to engage the services of a private career counselor in your local area. Before doing so, be sure to consult the National Career Development Association's (NCDA) Consumer Guideline for Selecting a Career Counselor. It provides an excellent overview of the roles of a career counselor, training and credentials information, what you should expect and demand as a client, ethical practices, and more.
