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.
