oh market looks briaht
Graduates can look forward to a
brighter, if only a bit brighter, job market
this year according to the College Place
ment Council's (CPC) January report. This
season may be "another harbinger of
brighter employment prospects for this
year's college graduates."
The report states that employers expect
to hire 12 per cent more graduates in
1976-77 than last year.
Although job prospects are up from last -'
year, they are still below the same point in
1974 and 1975, said Don Sutton, UNL
placement office assistant director.
According to the report, substantial
increases in the number of job offers are
evident at all degree levels: 20 per cent
bachelors; 28 per cent masters and 20 per
cent doctoral.
Sutton said the placement office sees
little change in the job market for
graduates.
"We see little fluctuation in the number
of companies that are coming to interview
this year," he said. "But those companies
are becoming more selective than in the
past." . 'V y 'c' C:'-,
Previously, Sutton said, companies have
beer) willing to talk with a variety of
students. Now they limit themselves to a
few;"those referred by instructors or those
with majors that qualify them for available
job openings, he said.
Sutton said most interviewing
companies are looking for engineers. The
CPC report states that a new interest has
risen in the fields of nuclear engineering,
engineering physics and geological sciences.
In addition to engineers, the greatest
number of companies interviewing are
looking for business and accounting
-majors, Sutton said.
This does not mean only these positions
are available because the companies that
interview have more than a few positions
to fill, Sutton said.
"But students shouldn't think that just
because a company doesn't come to UNL
to interview there aren't jobs available.
There are jobs, students just have to go
out, look for them and get them," he said.
Sutton said graduates will probably find
work but they may have to start out on a
lower level than they had planned.
"Don't go to graduate school just
because you can't get a job because there is
no guarantee that a master's degree will
qualify you for one," he said.
Sutton said that "we could be seeing a
trend where students that hold their
masters, find that they are over-qualified
for available jobs."
The job situation looks like it could
improve, but will take time, he said.
Sophomore and junior students can't
expect that things will be "perfectly rosy"
by the time they graduate, Sutton added.
"The improvement will be slow and I don't
think we will ever again see the time where
a graduate has six or seven job offers:"
