WetFeet was founded in 1994 by two MBA students who looked for, but failed to find information to guide them through the research, preparation and interview process of job hunting. The site is primarily composed of career topic articles as well as company, industry, and career profiles. Articles include how to make the most of an internship, resume writing, and job interviewing. The career profiles contain up-to-date information on industry trends, job prospects, and corporate cultures. Other offerings include advice columns, a weekly e-newsletter, and short videos from CareerTV. This site has been highly recommended for all levels of student.
