Other sources of
information:
Career counselors and faculty members are great resources. Visit the
Careers Office early and often, and make time to talk to professors in
your major and related fields. Professional associations are
excellent sources of career and employment information, and many of them
have websites. Surf the internet, keeping in mind that many colleges
and universities have websites for their Career Centers and for each
academic major, many of which include career and employment information as
well as links to professional associations and other useful websites.
