Best Jobs
Employers have said that they are more likely to be 12 percent
more graduates this year than last year. It is the first
projected increase since the year 2000.
In another study, a projected 60 percent of US business plan to
employ the same number of graduates this year as with last year.
That is an increase of fifty-five percent from last year,
according to the CERI (Collegiate Employment Research Institute)
at MSU.
According to recent studies, US Corporations and businesses will
employ more graduates with a bachelor's degree in business,
biological and physical sciences. Those with construction
management, engineering degrees, health care and accounting will
also experience an increase in hiring. Other fields will have a
slight decline.
On the average, companies are hiring forty three percent of its
interns to fulltime and regular status. The expected increase in
the hiring of graduates coincides with an expected growth
forecast of the economy next year according to a recent survey
by the Federal Reserve Bank.
A lot of companies are coming out of a slump and are now hiring
their interns and looking for more. A lot of companies are
posting jobs and coming into different campuses.
Most experts advise that during the holidays, whether you're
looking for permanent employment or internship, it is time to
step up your search.
Take
advantage of the holiday events you're going to, discuss
what you're looking for and your goals. Businesses don't want to
be flooded with calls and faxes of resumes. They will probably
rely on word-of-mouth to get a handful of candidates The
holidays are a perfect time to network.
What to expect:
Companies will hire more students earning bachelor's degree in
business and management, physical and biological sciences.
Engineering, health care and accounting degrees also would
experience an increase. Other degrees will experience a decrease
in hiring
Businesses expect to employ about the same volume of MBAs this
year as last year. Businesses have found employees with
bachelor's degrees being able to do some work being done by MBAs.
It will be harder for graduates with computer science degrees to
find work.
Companies are more likely to employ students who have undergone
internships. The work experience, they say, makes a lot of
difference. Federal agencies will employ more graduates but not
nearly enough to offset the decrease in hiring by the state and
local government agencies.
On average, starting salaries will increase by 1 to 2 percent.
