Job searches look successful for this semester's graduates
by Candy Niemann Kansan staff writer
Job prospects for spring graduates look good, KU placement officials say.
On campus recruiting has increased, salaries have gone up and students have been aggressive in their job searches.
"We are very optimistic," said Terry Glenn, director of the University Placement Center.
Gleem said that liberal arts majors were benefiting from more on-campus recruiting opportunities than in recent years, and engineering, business and computer science majors continued to be in high demand.
The increase in liberal arts recruiting this year follows a recent trend, Glenn said.
"A lot of times businesses are really pleased with the way liberal arts majors work out. They are very flexible." Glenn said.
But the increase in demand for liberal arts majors has not adversely affected those majoring in business.
Diane Mielke, assistant director of
the business placement office, said the center had a 7 percent increase in the number of businesses that conducted on-campus interviews in 1988.
"We may be down a little this year, but we won't know for sure until the final tail." "Mielke said. "The center is still very busy."
She said the highest demand continued to be for management, sales and accounting majors.
Gleam said the highest demand in the education field was for science and special education teachers; social studies and physical education teachers would have more difficulties finding prospects.
"There is an oversupply of elementary education teachers in the Midwest, but the problem is not as bad as they say. They can teach three or four years." Glenn said
Recruiting for engineering majors is up, said Julie Cunningham, director of the engineering career services center.
Mielle ask spring graduates who had not already started their job search should do so right away.
