"Between 30 and 40 percent of college graduates are underemployed."

Since 2010, many college graduates have been happy to have a job - any job - after graduation, however with unemployment becoming a decreasing concern for recent grads, they need to be more selective of the jobs they choose. Lack of work-experience can lead to underemployment, which may have long-term implications on career-growth.

Being able to tell a compelling story, impress during an interview, and negotiate a job offer can ensure your college student or graduate lands the best job possible after graduation. 

Made To Hire is an easy-to-follow video series that your student or grad can complete at his or her own pace, preparing them for the career they deserve!
