    Mg-Ed-Dv-ers,
    I just received the below blurb on a new portal aimed at college students.
    Actually, I don't like it very much and would not recommend it to my
    students. Though some of the features like the resume bank seem intriguing.
    But, I thought I make you aware of it.
    FYI,

    NEW FEATURES
    from The Wall Street Journal

    I'd like to introduce the latest addition to The Wall Street Journal's
    family of focused, highly useful Web sites: http://CollegeJournal.com.

    CollegeJournal.com is an exceptional site for lots of different audiences:
    parents of college students, recent graduates, our thousands of student
    subscribers, or anyone else who's making career changes or simply trying to
    navigate his or her way through today's increasingly tough employment
    environment.

    The site provides articles and features designed to help students, graduates
    and those in the early stages of a career find challenging jobs. It's also
    loaded with practical, time-saving tools for career professionals of all
    levels, such as an online resume builder that creates documents in a variety
    of flexible formats.

    Updated daily with content from The Wall Street Journal, the site's own
    editorial team and other key resources, some of CollegeJournal.com's
    additional key features include:

    -- Find a Job: Use our searchable database of 30,000+ positions, including
    many entry-level posts and internships.

    -- Who's Hiring: See which companies have available jobs and review
    postings.

    -- Salary Info: Research salary information by function and industry.

    -- MBA Center: Use the searchable graduate-school database and gather
    information on how to choose and apply to schools.

    -- Global Careers: Read the one-stop guide to business and social customers
    around the world.

    -- Much more: Including financial-aid information, career advice, industry
    research and more.

    Also take a moment to sign up for the site's E-Mail Alerts to receive
    reminders about job-search, graduate school and other related issues.

    I hope you'll visit CollegeJournal.com, a free site at
    http://collegejournal.com. There simply isn't any other online resource
    that brings together such a robust combination of quality resources and
    career-related tools. And remember, we also offer additional focused sites
    such as RealEstateJournal.com and more as part of the WSJ.com Network --
    all just a click away from CollegeJournal.com's home page.
