Careers & Calling

Career Links


Below you will find a list of links to the best career-related sites on the internet. Since only 25% of jobs available are posted in newspapers and long-distance networking takes time to develop, an internet search can be a way to make sure you are using all of the resources at your disposal. These links can help you do many things, from improving your interviewing skills to finding regional, national, or international employment. This page is always under construction, so if you find a profitable link that we do not have, please pass it on to us at careers@eastern.edu. Get comfortable and enjoy your search!

Note: the topics are in alphabetical order. (This page was compiled and edited in cooperation with Nancy Hutchinson, Director of the Office of Cooperative Education and Career Services at Cabrini College.)
