Greetings!
In 10 Things Employers Want You To Learn In College, Bill Coplin suggests you select a 4-year college or university that makes career services a high priority. Ask how many full-time and part-time professional staff members provide career services as compared to graduate students as advisors.
Look at the software programs used to help students think about their career. Ask for placement rates for new college graduates in the fields you are thinking about. Find out how many employers visit the campus during job fairs. Finally, check with seniors and recent graduates to hear their experiences with career services. |
