The typical visitor to The Monster Board is between the ages of 24 and 49, with an even split between female and male users, and 72 percent have a college degree. Sites such as JobDirect , which started three years ago in Stamford, Conn., also helps undergrads and graduate students find jobs through the Web, says Rachel Bell, co-founder of JobDirect. While the company has no figures on how many students have received jobs through the site, participating companies range from the Peace Corps to Random House and Intel. Jobtrack is another potentially helpful site for college students and alumni. Jobtrack works with university career centers and employers.
Employers send job listings to colleges that are posted online by the campus career centers.
Most universities allow students and alumni access to the site by using a password. I heard from companies and set up interviews. Despite its potential benefits, the Internet also can be a waste of time, according to Epstein. Because the Internet works like a giant newspaper, it's important to remember that not everything appears on the Internet. She says it's important to network, talk to people, and inquire about jobs.
