High Unemployment Rate Impacts Students

As the national economy is slowing, it is only natural for the job market to slow down as well. For those of you who are planning on graduating soon, prepare for a competitive job market and be flexible. Here are a few good points from a recent university article:

• Graduating students will be competing with those who have been recently laid off increasing the stakes
• Students will need to look outside their comfort zone and need to be willing to relocate
• Be as proactive as possible during your job search
• Undergrads may be in a better position as companies are always looking too keeping their pipeline young
• Your first job may not be your ultimate job
