Come September — Time to Start Your Job Search
It is still summer and many are enjoying the sunny weather, days at the beach, vacation, or earning some extra money at summer jobs. New graduates may have taken the summer off for a last fling before looking for permanent full-time jobs.
Well, summer is almost half-over and September is just around the corner–only a month away. It's about that time–time to start putting your job search plans into action, researching potential employers, writing resumes and cover letters, creating portfolios, checking out job fairs– or planning your gap year.

You will find suggested books and programs as well as links to helpful online tools and suggested websites, such as Job Search @ Your Fingertips, Cold calling, and Scott's Business Directories Online.
