Just 19.7 percent of 2009 graduates who applied for a job actually have one! 8/11/2009 Casey Savage graduated from Trinity College in Hartford with a 3.8 grade-point average and honors doesn't have a job. "I've talked to 24 different firms so far. Hedge funds, investment banks, private equity shops," Savage said. "And I just feel that there's limited opportunities at this point." According to a survey from National Association of Colleges and Employers, the class of 2009 is leaving campus with fewer jobs in hand than their 2008 counterparts. The group's 2009 Student Survey found that just 19.7 percent of 2009 graduates who applied for a job actually have one. In comparison, 51 percent of those graduating in 2007 and 26 percent of those graduating in 2008 who had applied for a job had one in hand by the time of graduation. Today's seniors are "going to be earning much less than their counterparts who graduated in better times and they'll be in lower level occupations," she said. "If I were a 22-year-old today I would be willing to take an unpaid internship," said Lanna Hagge, director of Career Services at Trinity College. "I would be willing to do almost anything just to get the experience and exposure." If you have any question, please send an email to Stacey Min at godluvsme@naver.com
