saturated job market for fresh grads

Well I think it's crazy how bad the job markets getting. I know that in Canada you need at least a bachelors degree to have a small chance to get a job. People with master degrees here have a somewhat better chance but most people with bachelors basically are the new high school grads here.

i blame the government for that cause they need to create more jobs that the students could go in. the governmentis taking the jobs away from those kids who made their mind up and pay all this money they should make sure its ok. i know several students who checked searched and checked angain.the government says yes they need them but after they go to collage and spend all that money and know the knowlege for what they wanted to do in their lives they cant do it because the jobs have been axed.not fair to the students who went for the career. the government and students should get together and diguss why thats happening and they should work together. its not the students fault that the government is in dept and maybe if they usethem to help them to solve the problem of the students than it might help the government and student out solving the job problem.they just cant keep axing them cause there might be someone being trained for that then the companys wouldnt give them a chance. i feel that if the government work with companys and give the students who has their degree to let them work and get the exeperience and then the student could help another student and it helps the company and the company helps the government and every one would be happy.

I think in todays climate people have to keep studying and learning, I was made redudbdant from my job a few years ago and I was told the days are gone where people have one job for many years, today and in the future people will have many jobs full time and part time that people will have to be prepared to work at anything and be prepared to do anything regardless of their education and there will always be something new...

Adding certifications seems to be a good idea but the problem that I am seeing is, others are also doing the same and in the end, they'll still be competing for the same job. For new graduates, I think they should accept a job even if that is not related to the degree they've finished. This may or may not hurt them in targeting jobs related to their degree but it definitely is better than having nothing at all. Also, I see it as a good opportunity because new grads will be exposed to another industry and learn from it and have their network of knowledge and friends widen. Add to that, this job may be the one best suited for them. New grads may also opt to employing themselves by creating a business of their own. Many young billionaires now are self-made because of the business they've established :) Kindly check this list http://www.dirjournal.com/business-journal/the-world%E2%80%99s-youngest-self-made-billionaires/

Job opportunities are quite hard to find right now even for those who are experienced so how much more if you are a newly graduate? Most job postings require at least 1 to 2 years experience. If I were a newly graduate right now, I would probably accept a job even for a low pay just to acquire some experience. However, there are some newly graduates who just had the luck of finding good jobs. These are those who excelled in school and have graduated from the more well known universities. Employers see the potential of hiring these new graduates for company profitability. They are given trainings, seminars and in a few years, they are already occupying an executive position. These are the new graduates who really did their best in school knowing that this is their only way to make something good for themselves in the future.

i do agree to a point cause u are right there are way to many students go for a career and find out later they cant get that what they went to school for.i ntsay they shouldnt but its should be up to the councilor to keep an eye on it an guide their students where there going. i blame the government for tat cause they need to create more jobs that the students could go in. the government are taking the jobs away for when these kids make their mind up and pay all this money they should make sure its ok. i know several students who checked searched and checked angain.the government says yes they need them but after they go to collage and spend all that money and know the knowlege for what they wanted to do in their lives they cant do it because the jobs have been axed.not fair to the kds. the government and students should get together and diguss why thats happening and they should work together. its not the students fault that the government is in dept and maybe if they use ts to help them solve the problem of the students than it might help the government and studentout solving the job problem.they just cant keep axing them cause there might be someone being traind for that then the companys wouldnt give them a chance. i feel that if the government work with companys and give the students who has their degree to let them work and get the exeperience and then the student could help another student and it helps the company and the company helps the government and every one would be happy.

I just graduated with a Bachelors in December and am supposed to be receiving my degree in February. I am really scared of the job market out there. I'm working two part time jobs right now and I just applied for a full time job at the same location where I work for one of my part time jobs and they told me that I wasn't suitable because I didn't have experience. I'm hoping that I will be able to find a full time job but I don't think it'll be soon because there are so many other graduates like me who are searching for the same jobs. I do think that a lot of students are going back to school because it's so bad out there and that seems like the only option right now. I'm actually going to apply for graduate school right now and I hope that I can get in so I can defer some of my loans and hopefully still search for a full time job. So yeah I think one of my suggestions would be to go back to school because it seems all the employers want more "experience" and hope that they can at least find a part time job.

Well I have no suggestions. The way the global economy is and if they didn't pick a degree that has a high demand and good job stability they have to take whatever they can find for employment til something closer to their field opens up. Yet another reason for me not to want to waste the time or money going back to school.
