Have you started your job search? Leveraging library resources to enhance your job and internship search There are a million things to look out for when embarking on your job search. It is important to keep your career affairs structured and the Library can be a useful partner in your journey.
Where potential job opportunities are Let’s say you wish to learn about the industry you’re interested in. It could be the banking and finance industry or it could be something specific such as becoming a trader. You can take advantage of the databases subscribed by NTU Library: • A good starting place for industry information is Datamonitor 360 and Business Monitor Online. • OneSource and ISI Emerging Markets databases are useful for understanding companies, countries and regions. • For financial-related information, use the OSIRIS and Thomson One Banker databases. • For an overview of potential job opportunities, book a Bloomberg terminal at the Business Library Lounge and search for “JOBS”.
