Guest Mitchell Friedman gives us the 411 on jobs






Mitchell Friedman, director of MBA Career Services at USF, helps students connect their interests to potential jobs. With the market in (possible) shambles, Mitchell lends a helping hand to our 3 hosts (and vast array of listeners) into what this market means for current students.  


Some key takeaways


  • Employers are still hiring

  • Spend extra time on your job search...don't let a fear-based search overtake a proactive search

  • Student who start early at USF last year, more often than not, found 1 or more opportunities that suited them

  • Alternate energy is growing quite well

  • Government sectors in Finance, Retirement, and Financial Regulation have opportunities
    -Network on FB and LinkedIn...but beware! E    mployers love it if you can back-up your claims of being "in the know" in the social networking realm, but they can also see that beer bong your doing in your pictures!





If you've got any questions for Mitchell, feel free to add a comment after this article, or twitter us at #newgentech
