The job-seeking perspective is particularly good for the following majors EXCEPT______.
Russ: Looking for a job is often intimidating for new college graduates. The process can be intimidating, but thanks to a strong economy, there is good news for the Class of 2006. Vera Gibbons of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance has some advice to help new graduates into the working world.
Russ: Vera, it’s good to see you.
Vera: Good morning, Russ, nice to see you.
Russ: So the job market is good, ha?
Vera: It’s very good, employers planned to hire about 14% more graduates this year than last, a very good time to be an accounting major, engineering major, finance major. It’s the best job market we’ve seen in 4 or 5 years.
Russ: And what do you attribute this hiring surge to?
Vera: Ah, largely a reflection of the economic conditions, corporate growth, of course, has been good, corporate profits are strong, so companies feel more comfortable hiring. As you know, the entry-level market, that is, the job market accessible to those who are inexperienced, is most sensitive to the economic conditions.
Russ: Right. Conditions are good, hiring is on the up. What about starting salaries, are they higher this year than years past?
Vera: Those are very good as well. There are up about 6 percent more this year than last with the average starting salary at a whopping 46,000 dollars and you can do better than that. If you’re an engineering major you’re looking at potentially 50 thousand dollars to start. Perhaps even the signing bonuses are making a comeback as well.
Russ: You are talking about our starting salaries years ago, well, it is a lot different. The market is so good now, there is competition among employers to hire these folks.
Vera: Yes, yes, that’s a good point, nearly 9 out of 10 employers in fact say that competition this year is stronger than last.
Russ: Hmm. You’ve got some advice, for college grads as they’re looking for a job. The first thing you say is do not rely on the internet, why?
Vera: Don’t rely on the internet as your only job searching strategy. It’s fine if it’s a component of the strategy, but should not be your only strategy, because only about 25 percent of the jobs are advertised in any public medium and only about 5 percent of the job seekers actually end up getting a job through an advertisement.
Russ: The second thing you mentioned is networking. For those kids who don’t quite grasp what networking is, why don’t you explain it to them?
Vera: Go to your college and ask them for a list of local alumni who are in the field that you’re interested in pursuing. Find out about relevant trade organizations, attend some varied functions and if you get some leads, try to set up a few informational interviews.
Russ: And what do you mean by the informational interviews? What is the point of an informational interview?
Vera: Many people have asked me the same question, What is the point of an informational interview? They said, "If I’ve been an employer, I’m gonna say ’what- you’re wasting my time. Why am I talking to you?’ "In fact, an informational interview is just a great way really to learn more about the industry, potential . jobs that might work for you. I just think it’s a very non-threatening, less intimidating way for college graduates to at least get their foot in the door, build up a little confidence. And statistics do show they are more than 15 times more likely to find a job through an informational interview than simply by sending your resume out blindly, which is a big mistake.
Russ: I see, Ok, you’ve done all these things, now you’re ready for the real doing. You wanna go into an interview to get a job. What advice do you have?
Vera: You gotta go in there, confident, and ready to take charge. You should know all about the company before you go in there. Ask very specific questions about growth opportunities within the organization. Also be a good listener, because it might be your qualifications, your education, your experience that has landed you the interview, but ultimately whether you get the job could boil down to your interviewing skills and your rapport with the interviewers. So you wanna come across confident, poised, you want to ask very intelligent questions, and be enthusiastic.
Russ: You also say watch the electronic footprint, what do you mean exactly?
Vera: Yes, you really have to be careful here, we’re in the day and the age when everyone’s on myspace, com, they’re blogging. You have to be careful what’s out there, because a prospective employer could go on there and find something out about you that they don’t like, and that could actually cost you a job. So I would . just say, be careful with online stuff.
Russ: Ok, Vera Gibbons as always, good to see you.
Vera: Nice to see you, Russ, thanks. "
Russ: Great advice, see you next time.
