Work experience is one of the best ways of getting a job, whether it is related to that job or not. Employers want to see that you know what having a job is like and that you have been able to develop skills to use for future employment. It also helps to show them where your interests lie and, so, where you would be best suited in their company. In this article we will be looking at popular resources for college students and recent grads, the benefits of entry level jobs and the importance of gaining experience.

Popular resources. If you are fresh from college or are an alumnus with a little bit of experience there are sites that are garnered towards you and your job seeking needs. These are sites that post predominantly entry level positions on their job listings pages. Some sites, such as NACElink and Experience are associated with college career offices and so you will have to register to gain access. CollegeGrad.com is a site that offers job application information, entry level job listings and tips for those lucky few who have received job offers. CollegeRecruiter.com provides information for students and graduates about business opportunities, continuing education, and seeking employment. CoolWorks.com is a website dedicated to those still in school. They offer seasonal employment. This could also be for grads who do not want traditional employment.
