And many students are turning to GW’s Career Center for help. The Career Center encourages students to continue applying for jobs because people are still hiring and the employment market will change. Students should also participate in internships because many companies prefer to hire from their own internship pool.
The Career Center also has specific advice for students on how to adapt to this specific employment crisis; for example, plan early, update your resume frequently, stay informed about organizations and companies you are interested in, and attend plenty of workshops and employer information sessions. The Career Center is also becoming more involved by being in touch with employers, posting job positions, and recruiting GW students. It is also closely watching the job market so they can better inform students. They recently held their Spring Career Fair and throughout the rest of the semester will be holding many different events.
Students are encouraged to seek help from the Career Center by either going on their website or by attending events. On March 31, coach and job- search expert, Peter Combs will be visiting GW to guide students in finding a job.
