Job Choices Magazine
IVCC’s
Career Services office now has copies of the Job Choices
magazines available to help you plan and implement your job-search
strategy. Published annually, Job Choices provides
job-search advice and information about employers interested in new
college graduates.
In the latest issue
of Job Choices, you'll find information on the job market for the
class of 2005 (including what employers say you can do to make yourself a more
attractive candidate), resume and interview advice, tips on networking, and
more.
The Job
Choices magazines are available in three editions:
- Job Choices for Business & Liberal Arts Students highlights career opportunities with employers in the nontechnical fields, including accounting, insurance, retail, finance, and more, and provides career planning and job-search advice for students pursuing degrees in the nontechnical disciplines.
- Job Choices for Science, Engineering, & Technology Students highlights career opportunities with employers in the technical fields, including engineering, science, computer science, and healthcare, and features career planning and job-search information tailored to the student pursuing a degree in a technical field.
- Job Choices: Diversity Edition highlights career opportunities with employers in a variety of industries and fields, features career planning and job-search information, and addresses issues relevant to students of color.
Plus, you can use
the Job Choices magazines to identify employers interested in new college
graduates. Open your copy of Job Choices and narrow your job search by
using the "Opportunities by Employer" index, and target a specific organization.
Or, target a specific occupation with the help of the "Opportunities by
Occupation" index. Looking for opportunities in a specific part of the country?
Scan the "Opportunities by Location" index, where employers are listed by
country, state, and city. Find out about the culture, history, and work of
companies by surfing your way to employer web sites with the "Employer Web Site"
index.
