Resources for College Students and Graduates: Resume, Interview, Internship, Job, User Groups, and More
I deliver a workshop at Seattle Colleges for the graduating students to help prepare them for their career. I’ve put a list of resources for them but thought I will share it with the public so others can also benefit from it. The User Groups listed below are local to the Seattle area, but the other resources are not. If the link is listed for jobs in Seattle, you can simply change the query to your city or state.
