Help with your job search!

Students!

you probably already know this but the library is full of helpful resources to help you with your job search. There are many vocational guides for different majors and jobs. We have complied a list of some of the most helpful and divided them up by subject and major. As the spring approaches and graduation gets closer, it's a good time to think about that job search!


You can find the job search guide at http://uncg.libguides.com/jobs.
