The "state of our profession" - a disaster or an opportunity?

Article Abstract:

College placement services should benefit both the educational institution and the employer involved. However, poor coordination and lack of commitment to the undertaking have often resulted in decreased benefits for the school, the employer and the student as well. Such misdemeanors on the part of employers as failing to appear for interview appointments can harm the whole career placement program if not handled properly. Employers should be urged, therefore, to apply the Total Quality Management principle even in their conduct of the placement program.
