Recording of Webinar: College Seniors CAN Thrive in This Job Market
Last week we hosted the first of will be many free job hunting webinars that we'll host for the college students, recent graduates, and alumni who use CollegeRecruiter.com.

Mitch graduated from the University of Rochester with a B.A. in Psychology and earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh.
So what did we discuss in the webinar? Hiring in 2009 is projected to decrease eight percent for newly minted college graduates and 10 percent for MBAs, from 2008 levels. An abundance of qualified, experienced talent and the largest number of graduating seniors ever present stiff competition for fewer openings. Despite the above-mentioned doom and gloom, there are some encouraging industry projections.
