The best time to start your career is before you officially enter the workforce. In other words, now. Even if you are a first-year college student, it is not too early to find an internship. Internships are short-term employment assignments during which you receive hands-on training and experience in a career. Some internships last a term, some a summer, and some may last a year or more. Some are paid positions and some are not. Internships can provide an inside view of the fields you find interesting. You’ll learn exactly what the day-to-day work is like, what kinds of skills you’ll need to be successful in the field, and—most importantly—whether or not you like it.
Internships can also give you an edge when it comes time to applying for jobs. Not only will you gain invaluable confidence from the experience, you’ll also have something
to talk about when prospective employers ask you about your “relevant experience.” In fact, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, students with
internships are more likely to be offered a job upon graduation and more likely to be offered a higher salary than their peers who did not do internships.

You have had a second or third face-to-face interview, and are waiting to hear how you stack up against the other final candidates. NOW it is time to pull into the lead candidate position.
Immediately after the last interview, where they indicate that there are several candidates left to interview, is the time to re-write your resume to exactly address all their qualifications and how you meet or exceed all their necessary requirements – based on all the items discussed in all previous interviews. Be sure to answer any comments, concerns or even relatively small comments they made during the previous meetings to show how you fit in completely.

 “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).

The list is organized by category (such as Job Search Strategies, Resumes, Job Interviews and more) and each category lists four or more related articles. One consolidated list with all of the categories you could want. Definitely worth spending time to read through those articles that will help you with your job search.
