That's the message of an NPR story this morning about college graduates on the job hunt. It's not available in print form yet, but you can listen to it here. Apparently if you're anything less than an A/B student, you should "take whatever job you can get." Many companies are putting hiring freezes on in light of the credit market crunch. Additionally, many graduates are competing with more "experienced" people who are on the job market because they've been laid off.
Great. As if college graduates don't panic enough during their job search.
Contrary to that, I've heard from some people I know that work in major multi-national corporations that their employers, and other companies, are laying off experienced employees and hiring recent college graduates because they can pay less.
I'm sure there are instances of both scenarios playing out but I'd hate to be the recent grad hired to take over someone else's job just because I can't demand the salary they were getting.
