Five sites that use the New Jersey state government page

1. Rutgers University Libraries: Career and Employment Resoures; New Jersey Jobs

Links to:
- “Workforce New Jersey Public Information Network” that gives, “resources for job seekers and employers.”
- “NJ Civil Service Jobs,” lists “current job vacancy announcements” at the state, county, and municipal levels
- “OneStop Career Centers” gives, “information about NJ state-sponsored career development centers”
- “NJ Department of Labor Reemployment Information,” “list of resources for finding a job when you are unemployed.”

Each of these links are greatly helpful for a student, just out of college, when they are searching a job. These links are all connected to New Jersey's job opportunity, so would be even more helpful for someone looking to stay somewhere close to home or even simply wanting to stay in the state. The links lead to different types of sites, so the user gets a diverse sampling of different jobs and different approaches to use when applying for a job.

2. Issues Management, LLC.

Links to:
- State of NJ home page
-The Governor’s home page
-NJ Legislature

They link to the site because their company is all about advocacy. They help their clients advocate for their position on an issue by focusing on any number of the following concentrations : legislative advocacy, environmental issues management, regulatory counseling, grass roots advocacy and coalition building, and crisis management. They work with these departments on a regular basis when advocating for their client or doing research into the current trends in order to be able to advocate well.

3. WashLaw: Legal Research on the Web

Links to:
-Administrative Code
-Court Decisions
-Legislation
-Statutes

This site, created by Washburn University School of Law, is a free research site where anyone can go on and look for anything that has to do with the law. It links to New Jersey so that residents of the state, and even other states, can access the information they are looking for quickly and easily, with all of the information and links on one page.

4. Youth Consultation Services

Links to:
-New Jersey Department of Education
-New Jersey Division of Human Services
-New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services
-New Jersey Division of Mental Health Services
-New Jersey Division of Office of Education
-State

All of the links connect to different sections of the state site that are related to helping at-risk youth find the resources that they need to help them succeed in life. “YCS is New Jersey's premier private non-profit provider of behavioral health and social services to strengthen and support children and families.”

5. Park Avenue Building and Roofing Supplies, LLC

Links to: state site only, but to help their customers find the building codes they need for all of their building projects. They also link to sites for New York’s building codes , so their customers, no matter if they are in New York or New Jersey, are able to get all of the information they need, and then can order what they need from the company, all from one single site.
