Careers in Management

The Internet is increasingly becoming a mall for products and services, including personnel recruiting, career advice, and resume help. When reviewing the following sites, please keep in mind that (1) locations change frequently and (2) many charge a fee for service. So, be careful and shop around just as you would with any other important product decision. Please do not misconstrue appearing on this list as either an endorsement or a recommendation. They are merely starting points, so look for links to other career resources. You might also find opportunities by using some of the search engines. Finally, many companies are now listing job openings on their home pages, so search for a company you are interested in working for. Good luck!
