Today, an expert on recruiting said this to me: "It’s a tough time for grads. I still don’t know how our economy absorbs 1,700,000 grads a year when we are only producing 100k new jobs! Not only that, this generation competes with the previous 4 years of grads and the millions of new grads from other countries, like the 6 million from China!
Key for them is to stand out, know how to impress and they’ll have a fighting chance."
I also saw this: polls conducted a company called
TalentMarks show that:
* 95% of the grads did not have a written career plan
* 60% of the students spend only 1-5 hours per week looking for a job.
CCB majors - come up with a plan and consider doing an internship as part of that plan.
