Many college seniors begin their job search in March while some students wait until mid to late April to begin their hunt. There's nothing wrong with starting your job search too soon. This way, you can familiarize yourself with the companies in which you are interested, and in turn, they can find out more about you.

There is a plethora of resources out there to help you find the right job. If you're unsure where to start, Radford's Career Services Center is a good place to begin. I can't say they helped me a whole lot, but I have heard that they can be a beneficial resource for some.

Another avenue that many students are finding useful this year is searching for a job on the Internet. There are lots of websites that allow you to search their job database to find jobs that fit your interests. Among the more popular are Monster, HotJobs, Headhunter and Dice. As a graduating Information Systems student, I have found Monster and Dice to be the two most useful job search sites when looking for computer-related jobs. On the other hand, HotJobs has been the least useful of the online search sites.

Another commonly overlooked job searching resource is the newspaper. Don't forget that almost every newspaper has a classifieds section filled with job opportunities. If you're searching for a job in Atlanta, for example, head over to McConnell library; they should be able to hook you up with whatever newspaper you desire.
