For this first-gen, my looming graduation is causing me to feel both excitement and fear! It has been confusing to be both proud of myself and worried that I won't be hired on at a reputable institution all at the same time. How am I relieving some of my anxiety? Research of course!
I have come across a few helpful sites in my time as a Career Advisor at Florida State University and I wanted to share some of them with you.
First of all O*Net is a very good resource for learning about various job titles. You will find information on tasks, interests, work setting, income and more about specific jobs here. It's very user- friendly, and has helped me become more informed about occupations of interest.
Also, Salary.com has proven to be very useful for me while I have been engaged in my own job search process. Information can be found on career development, salary, and education topics here, and the site also offers a very handy cost-of-living calculator.
Lastly, for today's post I wanted to tell you about Rileyguide.com. This site offers great templates for resumes, insights on how to create an effective job search process, and more!
If you haven't made it to graduation, these sites can also be helpful to use when learning more about occupations and fields of interest. If you already know, for example, that you want to be in actuarial science, you may use these sites to help you map your school career, gain information on skills to learn while in school, help you decide where you want to live (if income and access to jobs are a concern), and more!
You may also find some current advertisements via sites such as indeed.com so that you can become more familiar with what skills, education, and qualifications the types of jobs you are interested in are looking for. Happy information hunting!
