KEY CAREER GUIDES: Career development, a pure form of self-education, remains a lifelong process. Our goal is to provide helpful guidance for you as you navigate the career management process and wade through the maze of potential career transitions. There is always a campus-based array of resources on hand exclusively for Princeton alums. These key career services (both in person, and online) are available at www.princeton.edu thru the Career Services office for Princeton alumni. There, you'll find excellent links to well-researched Internet information for job listings and career guides (and access to Career Services staff). For a list of these services available on campus (and online): http://web.princeton.edu/sites/career/home/services.html 
KEY WEBSITE GUIDES - Preliminary List from the Internet … The internet offers a number of national and international career sites, many of which allow you to create and save custom searches to hone in on opportunities matching your areas of interest. Beware, though: At many of these sites, there is far less than meets the eye. • CareerBuilder.com & Monster.com -- staples, but offer mixed results • JobTrack.com -- the "best site for students and recent grads looking for their first job or internship," says Forbes, and used by many Fortune 500 and other firms, plus universities and MBA programs • FinCareer.com - an "insider's" perspective on jobs, careers and leadership in the global financial markets. • Wall Street Journal -- especially CareerJournal website (great site) NEW & NOTABLE: www.glassdoor.com -- salary profiles/company reviews LOCAL NETWORKING -- "PRO" GROUPS - Net Nights & Beyond You'll find many organizations worth visiting, if you want networking in the Washington Region. Among them (seachable on the web) -- -- FENG - Financial Executives Networking Group -- AMA - American Marketing Association -- GWSAE - Greater Washington Society of Association Executives -- NVTC - Northern Virginia Technology Council -- All major engineering societies (esp. IEEE) -- All major bar groups for legal opportunities If you'd like to network, this is a great city to find niche groups. NOTABLE: Northern Virginia Women's Center -- offerings services on a range of women's issues. ALSO: For a fee, provides mentoring with selected high-level women professionals - www.thewomenscenter.org/ Email webmaster@pcw-dc.org if you'd like more details. FORUMS, ANYONE ... at our PCW website? After you visit one or more of the sites above, consider doing a posting at our ONLINE CAREER FORUM on what you learned. Please offer any useful news -- or career information -- to our regular "News" section of our website. Simply send your "news note" to webmaster@pcw-dc.org. What are forums? These offer useful chat boards with many options for sharing your ideas, resources in a "community post-it board." For that, click "Networking"/FORUMS (tab above), then "Career Ideas Post-Its." Click for a sampler here: http://www.pcw-dc.org/forum.html. 
REFERENCE TIPS: Reference librarians & Special Libraries Association members (national offices of SLA are in DC) are terrific sources for finding information, online/in print and in most media. ONE MORE STARTING POINT: Consider a Role at PCW USEFUL TIP: Networking is defined many ways, but it’s certainly "making friends before you need them," To build up your store of “social assets,” take time to volunteer for PCW and network with us. This step makes all of your networking go further, and you will find friends before you need them. TO VOLUNTEER for PCW, know that we have brief and longer options -- say, membership, website or events and special projects. Now you may think that you can't help much, or don't know how. Please ask and we'll help. E: webmaster@pcw-dc.org. We have many ideas for you. KEY Q: Have 1 extra hour monthly? We room for you, and you'll enjoy "giving back," directly to the Club and in helping other alumni. SIMPLE SUCCESS FACTORS for VOLUNTEERS: You need a positive attitude, a real bias for action, and a willingness to work. The returns to you will be many, in your career and personal life. Try it and see. FINALLY, IF YOU KNOW OF RELEVANT JOB OPENINGS (now or soon), TELL US. Your Tiger colleagues are qualified for many posts, probably in your own work unit. (To send posts, email webmaster@pcw-dc.org.) Keep us updated. We appreciate hearing from you, and are happy to help.
