Graduation is Here – Do You Have a Job?
After (at least) four long years, Graduation is finally here. If you have a job lined up, congratulations. If not, your are not alone. You are graduating into the worst recession since the Great Depression, but don’t let that get you depressed. There are thousands of jobs out there, it’s just a matter of finding the one that’s right for you. Many companies have pages dedicated to students and recent graduates and many search sites are either dedicated to college grads or have keyword searches to help in your search. Here are some leads.
Hewlett-Packard – This page is a link to HP’s Student’s and Graduates page. The page starts with some pointers followed by a drop down where you can select your country. Using the US link as an example, the next page loads with links to the left hand side for Jobs at HP, Programs for Students & Grads, Recruitment process and more. The center of the page has a link to a student search tool. Click on the link for the search tool. There were 57 student/new grad jobs when I checked the site.
eFinancialCareers – Graduates and Internships – This links to eFinancialCareers page for graduates and internships. There were 101 jobs for graduates when I checked the site. The job sector search (on the left hand side of the page) is set to graduate trainee, you can try this with other search engines as well. Select region for your country.
Campuscareercenter.com – This site focuses on on students and entry level jobs. The top of the page has tabs for Post Resume and Students. Clicking on Students, the center of the page lists featured employers followed by resources (resumes, interview tips, etc.). The left hand side of the page has additional links to job search and resources. You can view the featured employers job openings by clicking directly.

Thousands of Entry Level Jobs – Sounds like a lot (and it is). Using jobster.com, this link uses the key words “entry-level” and returned over 45,000 entry level job listings across the country. Fine tuning for a city (say, NY), returned over 2,800 jobs. The same holds true if you enter the key word “graduate” (over 3,000 hits for NYC). Try this with any of the major job search engines.
Good luck in your search.
