[originaltext] The National Association of Colleges and Employers collects i

The National Association of Colleges and Employers collects information on the college job market. NACE’s latest survey in March found that employers expected to hire 22 % fewer graduates this year than last year. It also showed that(20)just 1/5 of those who looked for jobs before graduation have got a job by now, which is compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. Engineering and Accounting graduates were more likely to have started their job hunting and to get a job. And these two are among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree.(19)So how can students increase their chances for a job? Ella at NACE says the most effective tool is a school’s career counseling centre. Counselors can help students with job applications and preparing for interviews. They also let students know about job openings and events like job recruitment fairs. They can also help first-year students decide what to study.(19)Another way to look for a job is to do an internship.(21)This is when a student gets experience in a position that may or may not be paid. The latest NACE survey found that 73% of graduates who did get jobs had completed an internship. The group reported in March that employers expected to increase hourly wage offers for college interns by 5% from last year. But, because of the economy, employers reduced the number of internship available by 21%.
