The Career and Transfer Resource Center offers many free online services via the web, at www.aacc.edu/careers, such as:

• AACC’s JobConnection database is powered by College Central Network and provides job search assistance and free employer job postings that students can access to connect with employers. Resumes posted at the site can be reviewed by employers who will then contact students for interviews.
• Optimal Resume is an extremely innovative online resume site where students can create, present, and style up to five resumes and interact with a Career Counselor to have resumes reviewed and approved quickly. Resumes can be displayed in traditional MS Word or as personal websites in Flash. (Please note that your MyAACC email is required to use this service).
• Online guides for Resume Writing, Interviewing, Dressing for Success, Negotiating Salaries, and Portfolio Development. Students will have access to useful links for additional/updated information at the end of each guide.
• There is also a Calendar of Events linked to Career Fair and Recruiting Events at AACC and throughout the metropolitan area.
• DISCOVER is an online career-planning system that students can access from any computer. A token is needed to use DISCOVER so please call 410-777-2201 to get your token. Using DISCOVER, students can:
