The FIRE industry cools off

Article Abstract:

The economic recession has caused less employment opportunities for graduate students even in the finance, insurance and real estate industries. These have traditionally provided students with job options but statistics showed a decrease in employment in 1991, the first since World War II. Analysts predict that the banking industry might need less people due to technological innovations such as the automated teller machine while other industries which hire college graduates need more time to recover from the recession. Sectors that may provide employment opportunities are the services industries, particularly nursing.

The best and the next-best: the two-tiered approach to recruitment by Japanese employers

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the Japanese approach to recruitment shows that Japanese employers base their choices on the schools where students graduated and on their attitudes, personality and potential for learning. Graduates from choice universities get hired easily but others must hunt for employment through school recommendations, networking and applying in companies which graduates gauge will most likely hire them. The Japanese recruitment process proves cost-effective for employers since professors and counsellors conduct initial screening procedures.
