Where to Send Your Resume?

This is picking back up on my previous resume blogs. I took a look at my CollegeGrad.com newsletter today, which focused on where college students should send their resumes. I wish I had this newsletter before I graduated from college back at Tech (Florence-Darlington Technical College). Since I didn’t, I thought it was important to share it with all of you in college or either going back to college.
According to my newsletter, the first place to send your resume is your school’s career center. This should be done as soon as possible at the beginning of the first semester in your final year. There are three reasons why. The first is that the majority of campus career centers establish a set of paper or electronic resumes to be sent out to potential employers. Reason number two is that your college will send your individual resume to employers who ask for those resumes of prospective graduates in a given major. The list of employers includes some who are pre-screening candidates for on-campus interviews. The last reason is that normally, you won’t be able to sign-up for on campus interviews without completing the second step.


Where should you send your resume to next? It should be the Internet. But CollegeGrad.com says not just to any place. Their advice is to post it to “CollegGrad.com, the # 1 entry level job site, where it will get noticed.”
