Career and Job Information

Here’s a LINK to resources covering career and job information. Effective 10/17/06 several new links have been added, including sites that have more recent New Jersey salary ranges.

Check USA Today’s “Dream Jobs“.

If you need help in putting together a PowerPoint presentation, there are quite a few tutorials available on the internet. Here are just a few:
A little corny, but effective tutorial from the Digital Education Network.
From Bay City Public Schools, a PowerPoint tutorial for the 2000 version
From Microsoft, an audiovisual tutorial for PowerPoint 2003
Another Word document based tutorial for PowerPoint 2003 from the Kent School District, WA. They also provide links to other tutorials.
