Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”Henry Ford

“And the winner is . . .”. How many times have you heard those words? Better yet, how many times have you heard them followed by your name? It’s great to be the winner, “the best”. Not all of us are destined to be “the winner”, but being the best does not mean that you always need to be in first place. Inspiration drives the best in most people, and the companies listed today are all about providing the best environment to work in.

  • Mayo Clinic – Ranked at 55 on the list, the Mayo Clinic is the largest integrated non-profit group practice in the world. They have almost 42,000 employees and added 36 jobs last year. The main careers page leads with Jobs (by location) at the top, followed by information about the company. You can follow Mayo Clinic jobs on Twitter and you can register on the site and upload you resume. There is no way to look for all jobs available unless you register, so you will need to select the location of your choice to search for jobs. For each location, the job search page has additional resources, such as preparing for your interview.

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog” – Lennon/McCartney

I never really did understand the phrase “working like a dog”. I don’t know about your dog, but mine seems to sleep most of the day (unless I’ve got something important to do, then he is bothering me). We all know that the phrase means working really hard and almost anyone I speak with tells me that they are “working like a dog”. Now if you are out of work, you should be working like a dog looking for a job. If you still have a job, your time to spend job hunting is limited so you will need to make the best of it (like reading CareerAlley). So, to help you out, today’s post is all about lists (read on).

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.” – Robert H. Schuller

Anyway, May, summer vacation and (for some lucky parents) Graduation are just around and it’s not too soon to either be looking for your first job after graduation or a summer intern spot. There are plenty of resources at your disposal, not the least of which is your College Recruiting Office.

Internships: Whether you are graduating this Spring or will still be a student, you should definitely consider an Internship and it is never too early to start that process:
