Site Guides & Navigation Supports: The K-12 site has many great features and resources that can be helpful for students in finding information about careers and potential jobs.  Students should navigate to the following URL: https://jobseeker.k-12.ohiomeansjobs.monster.com/seeker.aspx

• On the first page, students can click the TAKE THE GUIDED TOUR button to allow them to learn how to navigate and use the site.  They should follow the steps outlined on the site to register for an account if they do not have one.  Once they have an account, the students can then explore the other resources on the site and save information in their account “Backpack” so they can access it at any other time.
