According to the Pew Research Center, unemployment amongst recent college graduates is higher than before the Great Depression. Getting a job these days is not easy and takes skills not often taught in college. Or, if a school has those kinds of offerings, over 40% of undergrads never utilize them.
You are not alone.
There are many reasons why a college graduate may not have a job:
A lack of clarity on what they want to do
A lack of confidence in themselves and their skills
They are applying for the wrong jobs
Their search is too narrow
Their network isn’t wide enough
There are Resume issues
○ A lack of experience
○ Lack of RELEVANT experience
There were application errors
They don’t make a good first impression
○ Eye contact
○ Attire
○ Language
○ Handshake
○ Attitude
Lack of preparation
○ No practicing
○ No research on company
Bottom line: They need help.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that 44% of graduates were in jobs that didn’t require a college degree and only 36% of them were in jobs paying $45,000 or more. More importantly, those in underearning jobs were 5 times more likely to be in the same position 5 years later. In 10 years, three quarters of that group will still be in those positions.
