Recruitment and Placement
Today's Job Market: A Challenge for 2010 Graduates
Graduates
in the Class of 2010 will have their work cut out for them. Hiring for
graduates next year will hover around its lowest level in decades,
according to a Michigan State University survey on recruiting trends.
The survey results, just released in November, indicate that large and
medium-sized companies in particular will not hire as many graduates
from the Class of 2010 as they have from the classes of 2008 or 2009.
As a result, students graduating next year will face a more difficult
job market than their peers before them. Read the article.
During
November, OneWire authored a survey that gauged the employment goals
and job search processes of finance professionals - as well as students
hoping to work in finance after graduation. Of the participants who are
currently searching for a finance-related job, a mere 21.9 percent said
they are "very confident" that they will find a finance-related job
within the next six months.
So what actions can Career Services
Offices do to help the Class of 2010 tackle these challenges and land a
job in this economic environment? OneWire has the solution.
