Recent Graduates Face a Challenging Job Market; EntryLevelCrossing Adds More and More Jobs Daily to Combat Downturn
August 20, 2008    |   PDF version  PDF version
Pasadena, CA  — Recent graduates are having a tough time finding good jobs. Thousands of recent graduates are unemployed and at their wits’ end about how to continue their job searches. But in these dark times, EntryLevelCrossing shines like a beacon for unemployed recent graduates. The entry-level job site posted more than 3,400 jobs last week and aspires to list more and more jobs with every passing day.

''EntryLevelCrossing is clearly making all the right moves in searching out jobs as our job count is increasing daily,'' says Harrison Barnes, CEO of EntryLevelCrossing. ''Graduates are now leaving college in the midst of a recession, and are understandably confused about how to conduct their own job searches.''

The picture of the entry-level job market is certainly not rosy for recent graduates. The unemployment rate among 20- to 24-year-olds is much higher than the overall unemployment rate. The Labor Department has reported that in the second quarter of this year, joblessness among this age group was up to 9.8% from only 7.7% at the same time last year. The growth in hiring recent grads in the financial services industry has dropped from 17.4% for the class of 2007 to 8% this year. Most college grads are so anxious to find a job that they will agree to working in almost any position and in almost any field. As such, many analysts and career experts suggest that students should plan their careers ahead of time and start researching before it is too late.

Career center officials and recruiters say that graduates with engineering, information technology, math, and science degrees are preferred the most. The job markets for the healthcare, information technology, accounting, and biotechnology industries remain strong, so graduates specializing in these fields will face fewer problems than others.

Barnes adds, ''I agree with the analysts that college and university students should plan their next steps well in advance, and have a definite backup plan as well, like expertise in more than one related fields. But what is also important is that they look for entry-level jobs in the right places.

''Nowadays, newspaper classifieds and cluttered job boards can no longer provide recent grads with decent entry-level jobs. EntryLevelCrossing, however, uses a highly trained research staff and cutting-edge technology to track down every job from every employer in the US. The site continuously monitors the websites of every job board and employer website to provide job seekers with quality jobs that match their interests.''

According to recent reports, the most recent top job counts on EntryLevelCrossing were:
  • Entry-level IT jobs (3,214)
  • Entry-level accounting jobs (889)
  • Entry-level tech jobs (863)
  • Entry-level engineering jobs (805)
  • Entry-level data entry jobs (502)
  • Entry-level marketing jobs (391)
  • Entry-level analyst jobs (372)
Unlike other job boards that simply herd masses of job listings without looking back, EntryLevelCrossing ensures quality and accuracy to prevent college grads from wasting time on outdated or filled jobs. The site’s hundreds of trained research professionals scour for jobs from nearly 8,000 job boards and around 250,000 employer websites every day. The number of entry-level jobs posted on the site is expected to receive a major boost in the coming days. For more information, log on to www.entrylevelcrossing.com.
