Changing Careers Challenge: Week of 6/28/10

Changing Careers Challenge:

Last week your task was to make a list of 5 job titles you think are interesting. This week we will look at researching these jobs to see what each entails.

For each job title that you think is interesting, do the following:

• Go to a job search website (such as http://www.monster.com/ or http://www.indeed.com/ ) and do a search for that job title nationwide (or even internationally). Read through 5 of the job descriptions that you find.
• Search LinkedIn for 10 people that have that job title as their current position. Look at the jobs that they did prior to that position to see where they got their experience.
• Look at Google Blog Search to find any blogs written by people who have that job title
• Search Vault for information on 2 of the professions your interested in
