I was in DC this past weekend so I returned to work on Monday with a mental-reminder that the US Government is an excellent source of free career advice and resources. Here are some of my favorite sites for career exploration and information:
America’s CareerInfoNet; This is an extraordinarily comprehensive site where you can research wages and employment trends, occupational requirements, state by state labor market conditions, millions of employer contacts nationwide, and peruse the most extensive career resource library online.
Occupational Outlook Handbook: Updated every two years by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Occupational Outlook Handbook details job responsibilities, educational requirements, and outlook information for a wide range of occupations.
Occupational OutlookQuarterly: Besides providing occupational outlook predictions, the Quarterly has several very useful article archives, including a section called, You’re a What?, that provides information about unusual occupations and career paths.
US Small Business Administration : A mega site filled with resources for both the novice and seasoned entrepreneur.
