As the semester begins, students have mixed emotions. They are excited to be entering the final semester of their academic career, but the reality of entering the working world weighs heavily on their mind.
Fortunately, 2007 graduates have more opportunities to find employment than their predecessors. According to Job Outlook 2007 (http://www.jobweb.com/joboutlook/2007/), employers plan to hire 17.4 percent more new college graduates from the class of 2007 than they did from the class of 2006. In addition, the prospects for international 2007 graduates look promising. The Job Outlook 2007 reported a 29% increase in the number of companies willing to hire international students for full-time, permanent positions.
The job search seems tedious at times and feels as though one will never see the fruits of their labor, but there is a better way to approach it than simply sending resumes into the black hole of internet job postings.

In addition to this great benefit, by using a recruiter, your resume is guaranteed to land on the desk of the correct person, and I am excited at the opportunity to do so!
