Think About It Thursday - Applying For a Full-Time Job IS a Full Time Job
It's Thursday!!! Which means it's time for a roundtable discussion about careers.
It seems that in order to secure a job nowadays, you need to have a little more tenacity than the average girl and a little more of a backup plan than that of your school's career center.
Besides looking to online websites such as Monster.com, Indeed.com, and USAJobs.gov, here are some sites that I have found particularly uplifting and effective for the job search. These sites provide daily inspiration; tips on salary; workplace etiquette; and information on networking events across the country.
1) Career Contessa

Weekly, they update the stories of various professionals, celebrities, and entrepreneurs; share exhilarating articles about resources and career advancement; and inspire women to thrive.
