As we all know, in modern times the American job market has
not been in great shape, many of us leave college after 4 years of preparing
for a career but are not able to find a job. Last year Forbes.com published an
article of an study done that showed the 53.6% of college graduates under the
age of 25 are either unemployed or underemployed (meaning they work in a job
that requires far less skills than they posses), and I’m sure one does not want
to spend 4 years getting a Psychology or Finance degree to then go work at the
mall or to work the fryers at McDonald’s.
So then, is there a method to have a guaranteed good job
right after college? Well… sadly no. But getting an internship is as close as
it gets. Another research article published in Forbes.com showed that Interns
have a 7 out of 10 chance of being hired by the company they interned with, and
even if they were not hired, or they decided they wanted to try something
different, those students are a lot more likely to find a suitable job after
college thanks to the work experience on their resumes.
But the best part of an internship is that they are very
easy to get, you just have to have an outstanding portfolio and have the right
contacts, like personally knowing the recruiters of established companies… Or
even easier, just drop by the Career Development Office at the first floor of
the Horvitz Building and talk to our qualified advisors. Want something even
easier? Then just attend the Internship and Job Fair they will be hosting this
Tuesday at the UC, where over 60 companies with available positions will be
looking for Interns and even full-time employees. For more Info just visit http://www.nova.edu/career/career_fair.html
or call our Horvitz office @ (954) 262 7201.
Want something even easier? Sorry, that’s as easy as it
gets.
