Major/Career Web Sites
* courtesy of Rob Clem, Counselor, De Anza College
Attention Visitors: I am normally quite diligent at monitoring these web sites to make sure they are
active links that provide quality information. Occasionally, you may find a broken
link, but rest assured it won't be there for long.
Word of Caution: Always seek information from a variety of sources. Information is not always available
in an absolute clear manner - sometimes it comes in the form of opinion. That's not
necessarily a bad thing. Conduct good research, analyze the information and draw your
own conclusions.
COMPREHENSIVE CAREER WEB SITES
Eureka and Discover These two career web sites include: assessment, educational programs and career information
(job descriptions, job duties, job outlook, etc.) Registered De Anza Students may
obtain access/password information at the De Anza Career Center.
