Jobs up for grabs. Go get'em, grads.

Youth is a double-edged sword, right? On the one hand employers
love it because it means you have energy, charisma, and the fact that you might
be the future leader of the company if they groom you just right. On the other
hand…why pick a college graduate when
there’s a more experience professional willing to do the job for just a teeny
bit more pay?

Is this topic really that black and white? Are there just
two sides to this coin and that is the reality we have to accept?
Not really. In fact, it’s more like a pie cut into three
slices (mmm…pie).
The truth is, there are three groups of employers out there;
the first being those who are only
aiming to recruit more experienced folk (more bang for their buck) for entry-level jobs.
This group usually thinks more about what’s on paper than what’s sitting in the
chair in front of them.
The second group of employers is the one who is looking to
hire some “new blood” if you will – a young, innovative mind, topped off with undeniable
passion and an electric go-getter attitude. Youth simply tickles their fancy and that’s
that. Inexperience will not throw your candidacy away here.
