Salary offers may not hange, but students may not be in a position to negotiate and there are fewer sign-on bonuses. — Leigh Turner Texas A&M Career Center executive director of consulting, telecommunications and hnology companies. In Fall 2000, the center facilitated 9,100 inter- ws, compared to 8,700 this Fall. The number companies interviewing on campus is down by 100, from 600 companies last year to 500 year, Turner said. The number of interviews and active compa nyhiring is down, but not by fifty percent — it is not dismal by any rate,” Turner said.

The lifc lones captured te ' owl win at Wto Nicholas Welch, a senior finance major who will graduate in December, has been interviewing with companies since Spring 2001. “Interviewing seems to be down, many busi ness students are having a much harder time finding interviews and getting job offers com pared to the last two years," Welch said. “I feel like I’m having good interviews, but the job offers are not like they could be, especially com pared to 1999 when graduates had their pick of jobs and locations.” Welch said he is optimistic about finding a job, but in the long term, he may go back to school. Carol Terry, a senior English major also grad uating in December, is considering furthering her education because she wants to find a job in College Station, but has encountered a lack of demand for English teachers. “There is still no demand for English teachers right now, so I haven’t been offered a job for that yet,” Terry said. “I will probably go to the alter native education program to teach special educa tion. There’s a demand for teachers in that field, and I heard it is very rewarding.” The career center can provide options and opportunities for students who may be struggling with their job search,Tumer said. “Given the already weakened economy and the attacks, some businesses are staying with their regular plans, but are cautious about how many offers they extend,” Turner said. “Salary offers may not change, but students may not be in a position to negotiate and there are fewer sign- on bonuses.” Turner recommends that students begin inter viewing and creating a network at least two semesters before graduation.There are plenty of jobs available, despite the economic situation, she said. “We can help you network and research com panies,” said Turner. “There are still job opportu nities and we can assist in a number of ways.” the John Marshall Law School- ‘02 ng tions! r on campus that stter place? iem to be a /re! jalities this persos 2. ,4 Iso include the /phone number. er 26. 2001 Stop 1236 to mu. edu 845-1627 Club sports rganizations rganizations nrca/if KfMtKKH Um\ mwet\ In the Heart of Chicago T he John Marshall Law School prides itself on a rich 101-year history of diversity, innovation and opportunity.
