The outlook for college graduates has improved over previous years. Employers are expected to continue to recruit most heavily from the cream of the crop. As a result, not only should you develop those skills that employers find most desirable, make sure that you communicate that you possess those skills to prospective employers.
Some students are cautious about working because of the time it can take away from studying.
However, research indicates that students who work 20 hours per week or less typically perform better academically than those students who don't work. In addition, working while attending school will help you learn the art of managing your time, a skill that will be a big asset when you enter the full-time job market.
