Careers

When searching for career information, search for .org sites and add the search term careers or vocational guidance.

Examples:

engineering careers site:.org
engineering "vocational guidance" site:.org


Quotation marks:

For natural phrases (compound terms), such as school choice or animal rights, be sure to use quotation marks.

Example:     " school choice"


To limit your search to trusted sites:

Specify a preferred domain (.edu, .gov or .org) by adding site:.domain to your search.

Example:     cyberbullying site:.org

Do not include spaces between site: and the domain.

NOTE: When you search the .edu domain, you may locate student papers. These are not acceptable sources for your research.
