A number of employment Web sites claim to include jobs as well as employment resources catering to high school and college students. Sites such as GrooveJob.com, Teens4Hire.org, and JobSherpa.com generally list high-turnover, entry-level jobs, many of which are geared toward students and others looking for seasonal employment and flexible hours to fit their schedules. The federal government also operates a job site, Studentjobs.gov, focused on younger workers. Some student-oriented job sites include tools to help users refine their job-hunting skills, such as assistance with writing resumes and hints on how to interview successfully. While some users praise the sites for offering jobs and services for younger workers, as compared to sites such as Monster.com or Yahoo's HotJobs, tracking how many individuals actually find employment is difficult. Still, operators of such sites said business is booming. GrooveJob.com's David Hunegnaw, for example, said traffic on his company's site has increased from 6 to 10 percent per month for the past five years.
