Finals are over so now’s the time to enjoy the night life of your campus.
Here are the top ten college towns according to CampusCorner.com
Columbus, OH. This unassuming college town is home to the revelers of The Ohio State University, which enjoys its ranking among the nation’s top schools. The university’s football stadium holds over 100,000, making game time a true event.
Tempe, AZ. When the average February temperature is 72 degrees, why not celebrate? Arizona State students can be found partying on Mill Street while other college towns are suffering during those lean winter months.
Norman, OK. A thriving Greek population is a feature of The University of Oklahoma. Athletics are important in this college town, and the OU Sooners cheer on their football team at the Big Red Rally.
New York, NY. It seems like a no-brainer to include this metropolis on the list. Nightlife in New York powers through until the bars close at 4 a.m. Students attending one of the city’s many colleges and universities can spend their entire academic careers exploring new hotspots.
State College, PA. In a city named after the college, you know student life is going to be a top priority. State College is no exception, as the students of Penn State University dominate the nightlife. Students can even unwind on weeknights at Otto’s Pub & Brewery.
Austin, TX. This live music capital draws students and non-students alike, though the centrally located University of Texas campus is a hub of nighttime activity. On nights when the Longhorns win, Sixth Street is a popular destination.
Gainesville, FL. Students looking to take a break from their studies can enjoy day trips to Daytona Beach or stick around town, where the 2 a.m. bar closing time and warm average temperatures keep the party going all night.
Los Angeles, CA. Another big city with lots to offer, students at USC, UCLA, CSULA, and other acronym-boasting local schools are always ready for a night on the town in this entertainment capital.
Tuscaloosa, AL. Fraternities and sororities have a strong presence at the University of Alabama: nearly a fifth of the campus has pledged. Alabama students cheer on their Crimson Tide football team at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Honolulu, HI. Where do you go for spring break when you already live in paradise? Students of Honolulu’s public and private schools ask themselves this difficult question every year.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 27, 2007 — With more than 35 million resumes posted online how can you get your resume to the top of the virtual pile?

Following are ten tips for getting your resumes noticed online:
1. Achieve maximum and targeted exposure. Don’t ignore niche job boards, social networking sites, university Web sites or local community sites. Employers are increasingly expanding their reach to such online locations.
2. Go beyond standard resume forms. Make sure to upload your complete resume. Don’t just fill in the standard resumes forms at the big job boards provide. While most recruiters rely on searchable databases like Monster.com they still search the Internet for Web based resumes not to mention you might miss out on getting in front of those who don’t subscribe to the big job boards.
3. Jump the virtual queue. Remember that a resume is your sales paper to get in the door. Candidates need their “best stuff”, the most impressive and pertinent information at the top to grab employers’ or recruiters’ interest.
4. Optimize your keywords Provide industry keywords and your top skills at the top of your resume and repeat them often so they’ll be sure to be picked up by the recruiter’s search logic.
5. Spell out acronyms. Not every recruiter will know the industry lingo.
6. Be a parrot. Rely on and reflect the job description – if it indicates “3-5 years experience”, include that in your resume.
7. Devil is in the details. Make sure your formatting is consistent and spell check!
8. Show them the money. Senior-level applicants in particular should include a bullet list of accomplishments at the top, things that make them stand out over others, i.e. “awarded #1 salesperson for enterprise software team” or “managed a $1 million budget for marketing.”
9. Be professional. List multiple means of contact, including home numbers and cell phone numbers. Make sure to use appropriate email addresses for job hunting – “mysexymama@hotmail” or mybabysdaddy@yahoo” don’t scream professionalism.
10. Manage your Google presence. You can help present your best face online by providing links to examples of your work. For example if you are a graphic design artist you might want to include past projects on a personal Website future employers can check out.
