1. Go to the Spring Career Days. Skip your classes that day if you have to…plan to spend at least 4 hours there networking and passing out resumes. Do your research before you go to really stand out.
2. Check out the postings on the Nittany Lion Career Network. There are a ton of jobs posted on this website that only current PSU students can log into.
3. Look at external job posting websites. A lot of the positions posted are entry level. There are plenty of jobs to be found out there from companies who don’t necessarily have the resources available to come recruit at PSU. Find them on job boards like SnagAJob.com,
Yahoo! HotJobs,
Monster.com,
and aftercollege.com

One tool you can use to make better use of your time is checking out niche job boards. These job boards focus on a particular segment of the job market, such as tech jobs, executive jobs, 100k+ jobs, sports jobs, etc. These websites have jobs listed that sometimes aren’t on major job boards. I compiled a list of some of these niche job boards:
Dice.com – Technology
JustTechJobs.com – Technology
RiseSmart.com – High Paying Jobs
Beyond.com – 200,000 job postings, free resume posting
JournalismJobs.com – Journalism
EmailMyResume.com – Easily e-mail your resume and cover letter to recruiters
InternJobs.com – Internships
SnagAJob.com – Hourly Employment
There are lots more niche job boards out there, post in the comments about your favorite!
