Career and Job Resources

There is a wealth of information on the Net. These sites are a selection only. Web sites are constantly changing so some of the sites have changed address or no longer exist. If you don't have a computer at home you can access the Internet at most public libraries.

It is important that you are critical with what you find, check the information is current (not everyone updates their web page regularly) and take care if you're submitting personal details, such as your resume. Is the site secure and who will access the information you submit?
