“To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.” John Dewey (1859 - 1952)

The Library has selected a list of sources in order to help you to find out the job that fits you, where to find it and how to obtain it.  You can find these sources (including books, e-books, journals, databases and internet websites) organized under the following topics:

2.1- Which job fits you the best? What do you want to do?
2.2- Where to find a job?
2.3- Marketing yourself: the best résumés & cover letters
2.4- Are you ready for a job interview? 
2.5- Is the salary you have been offered fair? Negotiate your salary
2.6- What if they offer you a job in another country?

From the 1st of July 2004 the European Union is offering free access to Celex database http://europa.eu.int/celex/htm/celex_en.htm and the Library would like to introduce you to this new public tool which may be useful for you in order to find information related to economic and monetary policy & free movement of capital, taxation, competition policy, etc. 

Coverage:

CELEX offers access to:

• Legislation (including treaties, the Official Journals L & C, secondary legislation, supplementary legislation)
• Case Law (including decisions of Community law courts, opinions of the Court of Justice of the European Communities)
• Preparatory documents
• Parliamentary questions

The database is updated daily and the documentation can be found in 11 official languages (Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish) although some CELEX documents do not exist in all official EU languages. This may be due to the nature of the document or due to historical reasons and directly linked to the accession date of a new Member State. For example, documents no longer in force at the time of the accession of Sweden have not been translated into Swedish.
