It's almost May: Do you know where your college graduate is going to live? Every year around graduation articles appear about "boomerang kids": the college graduates who return home after college. But in this mother of all recessions, it's not exactly going out on a limb to predict that the answer to the opening question is going to be "home."

Job Search Organizer
Research shows that search organization is one of the best indicators of how successful a student search will be.
Having an organized search allows the student to follow-up on opportunities more effectively, feel more in command of the search process, and supports ongoing confidence, which is necessary.
While there are many ways to organize a search, job search software helps organize both online and offline information.

First Impressers
Typical results like winding up back at home seem like a symptom of lack of motivation more than anything else. Almost every graduate I've known who chose a major they wanted and were enthused about school in the first place have no problem finding a job, or at least an internship. It's just a question of the attitude and energy that employers of all types look for. Having a university diploma hanging on the wall is no guarantee of talent or even intelligence, so it comes down to how the person presents themself, which should be evolving throughout all their college years anyway.
not using career services is a crime...
that's what they're there for. funny how this sneaks up on some college students until the 11th hour. i see two camps of students, the real gunners and the laissez faire variety. another cool tool you can use is google itself, found a good article on how to use some search tricks to find jobs, i tried it out and it seems to give good results -
