A&Mprovides ‘superiorproducts’
Graduates score high marks
in corporate recruiter survey
By JOE FERGUSON
Of The Battalion Staff
It seems like the Aggie joke, “What do you call an Ag
gie in five years? — BOSS!,” is no joke to some compa
nies.
Texas A&M students can take heart in the results of a
survey that gives A&M graduates a thumbs up from
corporate recruiters.
Many responses from the 298 recruiters who an
swered the survey said A&M graduates are consistently
well prepared to enter the work force.
“The professionalism and educational background
of A&M students have been a plus,” Mike Whitson of
Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. said.
Mobil Oil Co. recruiter George Jenkins expressed
similar thoughts.
“A&M has consistently provided a superior product
that competes with any school from which we recruit,”
Jenkins said.
Other corporations also lauded the University’s grad
uates.
“A&M is a prime source for new employees here,”
Salley O’Malley of Arthur Andersen & Co said.
Arco Oil and Gas Co. listed A&M as number one out
of 454 universities from which it recruits, employing
210 A&M graduates among 3,400 professional employ
ees.
The survey was conducted by A&M’s Placement Cen
ter in Fall 1989.
I he survey was mailed to approximately 1,000 re
cruiting contacts nationally, Jay Wheeler, assistant di
rector of the center and survey director said.
I he center conducted the survey at the request of
A&M President William Mobley.
The survey asked corporations:
• how A&M ranks in terms of professional employ
ees;
• how A&M ranks in terms of universities presently
recruited from;
• for a quote about A&M graduates;
• for a list of presently employed graduates.
The survey did not include questions about career
advancement.
Wheeler said the answers to the survey were more
qualitative than quantitative, thus A&M’s actual rank
compared to other universities was difficult to deter
mine.
