Graduates

FOR STUDENTS & GRADUATES

As a college or university student or recent graduate, you know it’s hard to compete against other job candidates with more experience. Especially when you are starting out, it’s never been more important to be completely prepared and ready.

Recent numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate that new graduates are facing a job market with almost 10% unemployment and nearly one in five 20- to 24-year-olds are unemployed. That’s why many students and parents of recent grads are hiring career coaches just like me, Kristen Jacoway, to empower them with the employment skills and tools that will ultimately lay the foundation for a long and satisfying career.
