Secret tip: The Dowling Resource Library is a good study spot for snowy days. But enough about the weather, let's talk career stuff!
Today's post features some of our favorite career field-specific web resources. What's that mean? Well, sometimes you may experience frustration when combing through large job & internship search sites that have a little of everything. Sites like these work well if you have good keywords for your searches, but can be a little overwhelming otherwise, e.g., if you were to search "intern" and "New York" and come up with 3,911 results like I just did. One thing you'll want to do is talk to someone in Career Services about how to make the most of these mega-sites. Another tactic involves visiting field-specific websites.
Here are a handful of samples, organized by field, to give you an idea of what's out there:

Now you might be saying, "Wait - my field of interest isn't on the list!" No worries! This isn't intended to be an all-inclusive list, and finding the best sites for both career research and position listings takes time. For more field-specific information, check out our subscription to the Vault Guides (you'll need to create an account first), Spotlight on Careers, and our Career Resources by Field. Web resources aren't one-size-fits-all, so your friend's favorite site may not do as much for you. Talk to a career advisor about coming up with your own list of go-to sites.
