Northstar Consulting Group: Competition for College Graduates Increases Rapidly

NEW YORK, NY, July 23, 2012

After receiving a college diploma, many graduates are deciding to jump right into the work force rather than taking a year off to travel the world, or further their education at graduate school. Northstar Consulting Group's CEO says 'less and less graduates are deciding to go on to get their masters or further their education with other degrees and instead choosing to get jobs with only a bachelors degree from college in hand'. Though this creates a larger part of the population unemployed and looking for jobs, it is also forcing graduates to start planning their careers earlier on. Northstar Consulting Group encourages recent college graduates to start planning their careers ahead of time because it leads to greater success in the long run. Because these college graduates have started planning ahead instead of procrastinating it is resulting in increased success for college graduates in the job market.

After graduation this spring, it was estimated that 340,000 students entered the work force. This group of graduates will most certainly face fierce competition for the available positions; however depending of the field they venture into, many recent graduates will be happy to learn that there has been a slight increase in job vacancies since the 2011. Northstar Consulting Group prides itself on promoting within the organization, so not only will there be work opportunities for recent graduates, but also a possibility for them to progress into management or gain expertise to be able to open their own company.

Northstar Consulting Group reveal instead of venturing off to travel after their senior year of college, more students are choosing to study abroad during a semester at university. Study Abroad programs fulfill college students desire to travel, while still staying on pace to graduate in the general 4 year program. From Europe to Australia to South America, students have been known to not only stay at their Study Abroad University but travel to other countries on the weekends or spring breaks before coming home to join the work force.

Internships have also become popular among college students and graduates. Internships help students make their first break into a certain industry, as well as get some overall work experience.

Northstar Consulting Group believes that this work experience is vital before starting a career. Internships may also help college students and graduates to get a job in the future because of what it adds to their resume. In addition, internships help in networking amongst employees, which may help to get a more permanent job in the future, or a great recommendation letter.
