Taking the next step in its own professional development, the millennial-focused intern placement site Intern Sushi has launched a new professional job placement and career planning site — Career Sushi. It’s one of several startup companies trying to make the job-seeking process a little easier for a new generation of would-be employees and their potential bosses with their attempts to create a new Monster.com for millennials.
