Although the economy is going through a very rough stretch, experts say college graduates will still be able to find work. They just won’t be able to do it the same way.
Workforce development workers at the Missouri Career Center said the job market has not been as volatile as the financial market.
Development supervisor Cathy Collop said that the jobs are “out there” and available. However, the market is more competitive and job applicants should be well prepared before they apply for a specific job.
Collop said that there are still lots of jobs listed through the Missouri Career Center, and she expects it is the same for other states. The jobs she is seeing most frequently are jobs in health care, computers, education and science. Jobs are at all different levels in these fields, so applicants should have a broad base of training and plan to be flexible.
Collop said some graduates think they will just go out and get a great job with high pay right away. This just doesn’t generally happen, she said. She said applicants should be prepared to start working for entry level wages, and work their way up.
