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. 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.

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.”
