One of the most helpful resources includes Martindale-Hubbell, a valuable tool for researching potential employers before submitting your resume or interviewing.

Internet Resources / Computer Work Stations
The internet is a useful tool for career development. The CSO has compiled an internet resource list that may be utilized to conduct a job search, research a legal employer, or obtain information on bar associations and other member groups. Computer workstations are available for preparing resume searching for jobs.
