Job Market Looks Good for 2008 Business Graduates
Sunday May 11, 2008
I saw an interesting article today on redOrbit regarding the job outlook for new grads. Since most of the articles and news reports that I have seen lately focus on how bad the market was, the piece on redOrbit caught my eye.
According to the article, the outlook is really good for grads entering business fields. Duke University reports that the finance industry is not only hiring, they are increasing the number of students they hire--from 24 percent in 2007 to 33 percent in 2008.
My advice to new grads is to forge on. Don't give up the idea of your dream job even if it doesn't fall into your lap right away. If you are proactive and look for an employer instead of waiting for a potential employer to make an offer, you shouldn't have any problems.
