JobDig for economics classes


JobDig is a great site for job seekers and econ teachers; they feature career advice in text audio and video form; JobDig offers podcasts for career advice, resume tips, and ways to improve your job-hunting abilities.

The articles feature industry experts and will help you improve your skills and abilities! The podcasts they feature are fairly short and can well be used in economy clases; e.g. there is one about interviewing questions, in which Heather Eagar talks about interview questions. Knowing the types of questions will help you know what the interviewer wants to know, how to answer, and what questions are illegal.

JobDig Jobseekers and Career podcasts

Monster Podcasts

The podcast features two series offering advice on finding a job, career advancement and personal development. There is a new episode each week and they are highly professional. I use their podcasts when teaching my students about job applications and interviewing in English. Students listen to an episode in groups of two or three and then present the information in a presentation ot compile a list on career advice. There is lots of other interesting material on the site. I find this an interesting example of integrating a professional podcast into the classroom.
