Are there any good websites that let you "search" degree types?

Maybe one that lets you select your interests and it generates possible degree types (majors or specializations) similar to it?

If this doesn't exist, careervillage should make a start-up! #college #science #college-major #graduate-school #interest #thesis

At what time do I make the change from a resume to a C.V.?

I really don't have any publications (just some publication-hopeful projects), but most people are telling me that I should consider changing my resume to a C.V. What is the difference? From what I've read, it has a lot of room for publications, but that would be empty space for me. #college...

Do jobs really recruit you from LinkedIn?

I recently made a LinkedIn profile to the best of my ability. I would like to get it looked over by someone for advice on how to improve it, especially since I've heard that companies are apparently using online recruiters. #college #career #job-search #recruiting #linkedin

What are the general pros and cons of studying or volunteering abroad?

Studying abroad does not fit into my college plan of study. However, I am considering volunteering abroad. Yet, most of the experiences seem very costly. #college #internships #volunteering #international #study-abroad

Do potential jobs consider your GPA?

I know for internships there is usually a GPA cut-off. I am wondering if for real jobs, after you've had some experience, do they weigh your GPA as heavily when considering you for a position? #college #internships #job #gpa

Due to the competitive nature, do Big 4 firms discriminate against students who start at a community college?

So I am a student at community college for financial reasons, however I do not want that to make me a 'weaker' candidate. If it does, what can I do to set myself apart from the pack? #accounting #community-college #auditing #working-in-big-companies #deloitte #ey #kpmg #pwc

How do I build a relationship with a professional?

I need letters of recommendations! And besides that, I'd like to actually get to know a professional in my intended career path to learn about daily work-life. But, so far, none of the ones I've met have really 'clicked' with me. Not to say they were not kind (they certainly were!), but none of...
