Quo Vadis, New Graduate?
According to a recent survey by Job Outlook, for the third year
now there is a positive increase in hiring fresh college
graduates for 2006. Business owners plan on hiring more from the
class of 2005-06 than they did from the 2004-05 class as well as
offering higher compensation and benefits for the new hires.
In the annual survey by the National Association of Colleges and
Employers, nine out of ten companies describe the new job market
as good, very good, and excellent. Public accounting and
consulting firms narrated the brightest prospect for the future
graduates, while engineering and construction firms supported
the idea by saying they'll also be hiring.
There is a growing demand for new graduates in the job market as
a result of the also growing products and services they offer
and to keep up with the retiring HR staff.
Who are in demand?
* Mechanical engineering * Electrical engineering * Accounting *
Business administration/ management * Economics/finance *
Computer science * Information sciences and systems *
Marketing/marketing management * Computer engineering * Chemical
engineering
Mechanical engineering graduates topped the list and eyeing on
them are aerospace, automotive, mechanical equipment
manufacturers. They also plan on hiring graduates with Ph.D.s in
science and computer related courses.
Banking, transportation, financial, and insurance services are
seeking Economics/Finance graduates. The food and beverage
processing companies, merchandisers, and financial services will
need more Business Administration/Management degree holders.
One-third of business owners plan on hiring associate graduates
categorized into three: technology, engineering and business
related degrees. Insurance and engineering/surveying companies
appear the most in need of 2 year course graduates for they bear
a productive kind of technical knowledge which does not require
more training. They belong to the hands-on work force who
developed a good work ethic
which is sadly observed by employers
as missing in previous amateur graduates.
During the survey, only 23.5%, (mainly manufacturers)
respondents planned on hiring international graduates in 2006.
What qualities should a new graduate possess?
* Must have excellent verbal and written communication skills *
Must be honest and has a high regard with integrity * Can easily
relate to others * Maintain strong work ethic * Can work well
with others -TEAMWORK * Analytical skills * Must be self
motivated and initiative * Adaptability to change * Updated
computer skills * Observant to details
The standards of companies' ideal candidates are often higher
than the last year's. It is important that new graduates show
good G.P.A.s as full time jobs come with good benefits coming
from good revenues. Salary, should not be the sole consideration
when looking for a job, benefits are part of it.
Here are some of the lists of benefits:
* Life and Medical/Dental insurance * Retirement plans * Annual
and semi-annual increase * Employee counseling program * Dress
code * Paid trainings * Bonus and commissions * Family benefits
* Flexi-time * Performance updates * Vacation and sick leaves *
On-site fitness and recreational facilities * Day care center *
Company car/service
The best places to seek competitive employers can be on campus
job fairs, during on-the-job-trainings, student organizations
and clubs, Internet search job search engines, etc. What's
important is that you target the right employers. Don't let an
opportunity pass, get in the interview to know more about their
career offers and don't forget to research about the company.
You must be able to discuss your career objectives and compose a
list of relevant and creative questions you can ask yourself.
