You need to figure out what marketable skills you have as well as what
skills you need to obtain. Some sites help you develop skills that you
might be missing. Career Services sites usually have the information
you need for this. Some of the schools have been markedly more proactive
in developing career services for advanced degree holders or have exceptionally
good sites in general; some of these sites follow. Please send
me any info you have to add.
