Hiring Criteria for College Grads
Hello my collegiate friends,I came across a great article on CollegeGrad.com that I thought I'd share:
CollegeGrad.com released the results of its survey on what employers want most in hiring new college grads. What is most important to entry level employers – the college you graduated from? Your GPA? Or what you majored in? According to the survey results, the answer may surprise you.
The criteria that the employers ranked as most important are as follows:
#1 - The student's major (44%)
#1 - The student's major (44%)
#2 - The student's interviewing skills (18%)
#3 - The student's internship/experience (17%)
#4 - The college the student graduated from (10%)
#5 - Other miscellaneous qualifications (5%)
#6 - The student's GPA (4%)
#7 - The student's personal appearance (1%)
#8 - The student's computer skills (1%)
What do you think? Is that in line with what you thought would be rated as important to employers? Is there anything that wasn't included that should be considered? Let me know your thoughts...
