College Recruiter Warns: Poor references may hurt your chances of finding a job. But, there is a solution: "Founded in 1984 by Heidi Allison-Shane, Allison & Taylor, Inc. is a firm that conducts reference checks to help job seekers either ensure that they will get positive references once they start applying for positions or to discover if the reason they're not getting job offers is due to negative references. Allison-Shane started the firm because she saw a need that wasn't being filled."

College Recruiter Offers: Advice on writing a good followup "Thank You" note after an interview. It's important to follow up with a note, so that you stay fresh in the mind of the interviewer and also to show that you are considerate and know how the game is played. CR has the fundamental basics in this post.

Mashable Profiles: Glassdoor, "a Web service that allows users to anonymously share information like salary, workplace reviews, and their honest opinions." A pretty cool concept, indeed. Check out Glassdoor before an interview ... or after to let everyone know how things went. And good luck with your internship search.
