The national job outlook for 2009 is in the lowest levels now then it has been in the past six years. The National Association of Colleges and Employers shows a 52 percent decrease in hiring. However at Miami University the graduates are having better luck in the job market.
In September during the career fair on campus Miami surveyed 220 employers 29 percent of them plan to have an increase hiring and only 12 percent expect a decrease. There are bigger hiring expectations for the companies who have visited Miami.
One student from Miami has already been offered and accepted a job with Proctor and Gamble. She is a strategic communication major and marketing minor. She got it through two internships; one at Target and one at General Mills.
The job market is very competitive these days and it is important for kids to go for what they want and believe in themselves. At Miami the counselors and leaders are always there to help the upcoming graduates find jobs in the uncertain market.
