College Graduates are Finding Jobs at an Alarming Rate
Relatively New Website Dedicated to the College Student/Graduate is Becoming a Force to be Reckoned With
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., July 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Launched in 2015, Collegegradsonline.com is a relatively new site, but the impact it is having in relation to college students finding employment upon graduating is absolutely amazing.
Sure, there are a multitude of job sites out there, but only collegegradonline.com is truly dedicated to the college student/graduate. Other sites that make this claim will still allow anyone to join, whether a college graduate or not, but only collegegradsonline.com will legitimize the registrant by verifying their information and then placing a green banner across their profile picture to let employers know that they are a certified college student/graduate which is paying off in a big way.
A recent national publication's research shows, that only 47% of college graduates will have employment upon completion of school; that means that 53% will be either unemployed or under employed once they complete their studies. Well, collegegradsonline is looking to increase those depressing figures.
A recent CGO report shows that out of the 11,514 graduate students in 2016 who are registered on the exclusive site, a staggering 62% or 7,139 already had jobs upon graduation, and another 989 students had jobs within three months after graduating, for a whopping 71% being employed which beats the national average by 23%.
Another 1,304 undergrads had found either intern work or part-time gigs from employers that searched the site for candidates; of those employers browsing the site for candidates, only 114 are Fortune 500 companies, but that list will continue to grow as the site does.
"Hello; my name is Erica and I graduated from a small college in Wisconsin two years ago, but was having a hard time finding employment in my field of study while working as a waitress, but then I registered on collegegradsonline.com, and four months later, I had a great paying job from an employer that contacted me through your site. I am so thankful and happy. Thanks CGO!!" – This message was sent through the "Contact Us" feature on the website, says a CGO spokesperson.
"This platform is doing exactly what it was intended to do and that is to provide a level of integrity for college students and graduates, as well as to set them apart from the rest of the field," says collegegrads founder, Michael Cavicante. "If they are going to go that extra mile to get a formal education, I just feel that they deserve this added benefit."
"Collegegradonline is more than just a job site," says Cavicante. "It also allows current students to social network with others at their college campus, as well as start study groups, send messages, post pictures, post events, send classmate (friend) requests and more."
The resume portion of the profile page is only visible to employers, while the profile picture and the college they are attending is visible to classmates.
Collegegradsonline is absolutely free and for people of all ages; whether graduating from college last month or fifty years ago.
