Hopefully you’re not stealing wireless while waiting in line at Best Buy to read this post, when you could be doing all your Black Friday shopping on Amazon.com in the comfort of your own bed. If you don’t get your Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, Kindle, or another Black Friday Deal, maybe you’ll get moving on finding a job and adding to your bank account rather than subtracting from it. Since employers haven’t taken to the Black Friday concept (can you say 20% higher salary if you take a job that you applied for on Black Friday?), we figured we’d write about jobs from the ultimate holiday shopping company.

Amazon.com is one of those smart companies that realizes that hiring college graduates is different from hiring people who have already had jobs. Their Careers Site links directly to their University Recruiting Page. From there, they have separate sections for Technical Careers and Business Careers. Technical Careers include Software Development Engineer Positions in: High-Transaction Systems, Algorithms, Testing, Tool Development, User Interface Development, and Merchant Integration. Business Careers have a wider range of positions, which include jobs such as Area Manger and Financial Analyst.

Since we’re pretty sure that you know what Amazon.com does and how well they do it, we won’t waste your time rehashing their story. Head over to their Careers Site and start researching for yourself. It’s one of the most comprehensive and easily navigable jobs sites we’ve seen. Once you’ve spent some time being responsible for the day, reward yourself and buy yourself something nice. It’s Black Friday!

Note: On April 21st we revisited entry-level jobs at Amazon.
