Reportedly one of the most extensive career re-sources in SoCal, the facility at Cal State Northridge is also one of the few college career centers open to the public. One-day passes, available for a small fee at the reception desk, give all comers access to a library stuffed with information on career planning, salary information, and internship and volunteer job listings. Come equipped with a roll of dimes for the copier, and feel free to consult the walk-in counselor for reference questions and general information.

"Just bring your brains, paper and a pencil," counsels Women at Work’s Cecile Goodwin, adding, "We’ve got a bigsummer job book." All ages (and both genders) are welcome at this friendly nonprofit drop-in center, founded 20 years ago to help women address employment issues and inequities. A $2 donation gets you access to the library and a brief tour of its contents: employment listings, college-aid guides, information on obtaining work abroad, and industry and occupational videotapes. While using the equipment isn’t free — computers rent out for $5 an hour, faxes are $1 per page, and copies are a quarter a pop — it’s still cheaper and more convenient than scribbling down leads and schlepping to Kinko’s.
