I haven't used CB in a serious manner since I became employed, but the other day I checked it out for about 30 minutes to see if the filtering and searching had improved. They have a new interface, and from what I could tell there were not as many blatant work at home scams posted. I will elaborate more on this at a later time and maybe even put together a searching tutorial to find the jobs aimed at college students, but for now the basic findings. Do not search for just entry level positions in your desired industry. There were way too many jobs that were not what I would call quality opportunities, and then there were some that a candidate with a HS degree could apply for. Here and there in between these types of jobs you will find your quality jobs offered by average to solid companies. The best way to find them is to search for a specific position, like "financial analyst" or "consultant". The more specific you are, the greater your chances are of getting less results with more potential rather than a crapload of crap with very little potential. And then you have the hundreds or thousands of other students who actually took the time to find the same jobs that you will be competing with on a nationwide basis. Either way, I still had to search for a long time to find several positions that I might have been interested in a year ago. I will take a more detailed look at CB.com and CBcampus.com as well as the other sites, and will get an updated guide posted by the end of your winter breaks, so that if you choose to use these sites you won't waste too much time. I still like your odds using your campus career site and resources. Less competition, targeted jobs for college students, on-campus recruiting, and way less hours spent searching for jobs.
