Other highlights include:

• More than 90 percent of employers who responded said that their organization/business unit attends career fairs. No word yet on how those employers plan to adjust to the new federal regulations that have made it next to impossible for many employers to accept resumes at career fairs for fear of triggering the "application" rules. My conversations with many employers have revealed that most do not yet have a plan in place and are therefore operating outside of the law and those that have adjusted are either refusing to accept resumes (so why attend the career fair to begin with?) or are accepting the resumes but not treating them as applications. In both cases, the employers are directing candidates to apply on-line.
  
• Approximately 10 percent of respondents said they have visited social networking web sites, and even more (about 14 percent) have "Googled" candidates from the Class of 2006 to obtain information on them. No word yet on how many employers have declined to hire a candidate after finding troubling information about them on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace or how many of those decisions were flawed because the information posted on-line was bogus or so obviously in jest that the employer should have realized that the candidate has a sense of humor.
