How SRB Can Supplement a Student’s Job Search

We all know that there are plenty of avenues that a student can take when the time comes to start paying off some of those incessant bills.  There’s directly calling companies to see if they’re hiring.  There’s posting you resume with some of the “Monsters” out there.  And then there’s your university’s career resources.

These are all good places to look and you should use these resources.  You should use all these resources if you want to land the best fitting job for you.  There are great jobs out there, but there are also a lot of people searching too.  You need to give yourself the best chance at these jobs by letting people know that you exist and are looking for employment. 

Now, it wouldn’t make much sense if I left Student Resume Books (SRB) out of this conversation and how it can supplement your job search.  

SRB is different from the big job boards on the web.  The big difference to students is that SRB owns a certain unique niche.  The advantage here is that it targets the right people rather than all people like in the big job boards.  Only employers looking to hire college level students for full or part time are looking through our books.  That means you aren’t competing for employers looking for “5-10 years experience” that seems to be attached to every job posting on those boards. 

In addition, we like to pride ourselves on our ability to get a bit more personal in helping with the job search.  When students fill out the “Companies I’m Considering” entry, we go after these companies to get your resumes in their hands.

I know most of these sites are free, as we are too, but I really believe that for the time it takes to submit your profile and resume at www.studentresumebooks.com and the potential doors that can open, that we really are the best value out there on the web in regards to job searching.

We are a newer company and strive to help where we can.  I’d love to hear from our users, critics, or passers by.  There are many choices out there and we know to stay alive in this business that we need to stay relevant.  Your comments are appreciated.
