Career Consulting Corner is a company that sells resources for preparing indivdiuals for the world of work. This particular page will provide job seekers with interviewing tips, questions they may be asked at a job interview and questions they should be prepared to ask their interviewer.
I have purchased numerous items from Career Consulting Corner and am amazed at their attention to detail and their ease of use of all their products. I used this page so many times throughout my classes, that I recreated it for my website and as a handout to give to the students when preparing for our mock interviews and inclusion in their portfolio for future use.

Ethics in the Workplace
http://www.goodcharacter.com/NFS/SchoolToWork.html
This site will provide educators with an introduction to a video series, "Not for Sale - Ethics in the Workplace". As you scroll down through the site, you will be able to "read" a video story about a workplace scenario (to the right) and in the box to the left of the scenario, are questions for discussion with your students.
This was a great introduction piece and led me to convince my district to purchase the program. The acting is a little cheesy and the kids tend to make fun of some of the obvious situations, however, the overall theme about what is right and wrong is excellent. Again, this is a great introduction if money is tight, otherwise, purchase the whole curriculum for questions, videos and worksheets.

Youth Rules!
http://www.youthrules.gov
This site is designed to information teens, their parents, employers and educators about the rules that govern the employment of minors. Each section provides users with the hours and jobs teens are allowed to do, along with tips and suggestions for preventing workplace hazards.
I use this site frequently with my students and I direct parents here on a regular basis when they have a question about the laws of working teens. The teen section provides students with links to download posters and stickers, and the kids love that!

Hot Jobs!
http://www.hotjobs.yahoo.com
Yes, another job search service. However, in today's economy, if you are looking, best to get your name out there anyway that you can. Similar to the other engines, this one provides you with the ability to create cover letters, resumes, and search jobs. You can also ask questions to career advice experts and participate in online polls. The career tools provide you with interviewing techniques, a salary calculator to negotiate your salary and tips about life at work.
Very much like monster.com and careerbuilder.com. I also noticed that there is a place for an employer to sign in and search out possible candidates by looking at their resumes or post jobs.

Career Builder
http://www.careerbuilder.com
Very similar to monster.com, this site provides users with the ability to create and post resumes, seek career advice, and search for jobs.
One of the features I particularly liked about this site, is that I can provide some basic information about the careers I would be interested in, along with my email address, and they will send me an email when a job that matches my description comes available.

Monster
http://www.monster.com
This site provides users with the ability to create and post cover letters and resumes. In addition, there is a link that allows users to search for jobs, saved their job search history and keep track of where they have applied. Clicking on the career tools will provide individuals with wizards for creating their resume and cover letter and other professional letters and personality and career assessment tools.
This site is becoming increasingly popular for people who are looking for jobs, especially in a wider range than their local newspaper can provide. I have used it for the job searching aspect, but have been a little leary about posting my resume or other information.

NYS Department of Labor
http://www.labor.ny.gov/home
This site is maintained by the state of New York and is another great resource for students, parents, educators and those looking to enter or re-enter the workforce. The site provides links with information about the current minimum wage laws, permitted occupations and working hours for teens, and protecting ourselves on the worksite.
I enjoy this website very much. I have pulled so much information to use in my classroom, particularly with the safety and health aspects of teens working. I also particularly like the publications link. NYS provides numerous pamphlets, posters, handouts, etc. for educators, parents and students and so far all the ones I have gotten were free of charge.

Occupational Outlook Handbook
http://www.bls.gov/oco/
Excellent resource for individuals of any age to research careers. There are literally thousands of job titles provided and each one provides the nature of the work, education and training necessary, expected salary, job projections, etc.
The only downfall I have found with this site is that there are so many career postings, it can be quite overwhelming. At times, I have had to help a student do some searching to find their chosen career. The titles we use, are not necessarily the titles used by the Department of Labor.

Career Zone
http://www.nycareerzone.org
This site is an excellent resource for students who are researching careers, educators who are teaching youth about the various careers out there and counselors who are helping students plan their futures. There are several online tools to help students match their interests and abilities to careers, research their chosen career and plan for their future.
This is a FANTASTIC site! I use it every year and New York State has been great about maintaining its accuracy. It has recently undergone major changes to make it more appealing and easier to use.

Teaching Kids Business
http://teachingkidsbusiness.com
This is an excellent site for introducing kids of all ages to the world of business. There are several aspects to this site from games, to creating resumes, online store and yes, of course, blogs!!
I particularly liked the ease of use of this site. Not only are there links to the different pages, but each page provides its own links to additional sites/pages related to that topic. I also appreciated the "how to use our site" link.
