Maybe you’re a college freshman or recent graduate, or maybe you’re somewhere in between. Regardless, your future career is on your mind. MonsterTRAK has resources and tools to help you successfully plan your career development. Take this quick tour of what we offer.

Step One: Registration

To search MonsterTRAK’s entry-level jobs and internships, you need to do two things:

• See if your school is part of the MonsterTRAK network by clicking on Post Your Resume & Register on the MonsterTRAK homepage. More than 1,000 US college and university career centers participate in MonsterTRAK. If yours is one of them, great. Contact your school’s career center and ask for your MonsterTRAK password, which you’ll need to register on the site.

  If your school’s career center is not part of the MonsterTRAK network, you won’t be able to search for entry-level jobs and internships, but you’ll still have access to the rest of the site’s resources and Monster’s job listings . If you find yourself in that situation, encourage your school’s career center to become part of MonsterTRAK by contacting Monster at (800) 999-8725. It’s free for all career centers.

• Register with MonsterTRAK by selecting your institution from the list of schools, typing in your password (Again, you can get this from your school’s career center.) and filling out the registration form.

Step Two: Look for Entry-Level Jobs and Internships

Interested in applying for an internship or entry-level job? Click on Search Jobs on the MonsterTRAK homepage.

You’ll have access to thousands of entry-level job and internship listings. Search for a position by job type, job function, location, industry, keyword or any combination thereof.

You can also post a copy of your resume so MonsterTRAK’s employer members can look at it and perhaps contact you about an internship or job.

Be sure to also check out:

• Employer Showcase : Research companies and their hiring practices.

• Career Contact and Alumni Network : Network with registered college alums and others in various fields around the US.

Step Three: Gather College-Specific Career Information

Each week, the MonsterTRAK homepage offers a career-related article written by MonsterTRAK Coach Peter Vogt (that’s me), which addresses the concerns of college students and recent grads. MonsterTRAK also features monthly articles written by university career counselors nationwide. Check out previous articles in MonsterTRAK Features .

In addition, on the left side of the MonsterTRAK homepage, you’ll find a Job Search Tools section featuring resources to help you learn more about career planning and job hunting:

• Career Guide and Job Search Tips v.2.1 : Both offer information on turning your college degree into a rewarding career.

• Major-to-Career Converter : Helps you answer the question, "What can I do with my major?"
• Resume Center : Learn how to make your resume stand out.

Step Four: Communicate with Fellow Travelers

Want to communicate with your peers about career development concerns? Check out:

• Career Planning for College Students message board: Get answers to questions about your career development.

• Ins and Outs of Internships and Graduate School message boards: Guest university career counselors respond to your questions about internships and graduate education.
• MonsterTRAK Chat : We spend an hour talking about the career concerns of college students and recent college graduates every Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

Step Five: Have a Look Around

Now that you’ve taken the tour, start exploring MonsterTRAK’s resources and tools .
