Last week I had the chance to sit down with a group of college students and new graduates to pick their brains on how kids these days are starting their careers. One of the most exciting things about working at Collegefeed is the access to millennials from all walks of life. Collegefeed's mission is to help every single new graduate get hired, regardless of whether they're engineering majors from Stanford or literature grads from tiny private schools.
Despite facing skyrocketing tuition fees and a pretty scary unemployment rate, what struck me most was the enthusiasm, conviction and hope they all had in taking that first step. As we spoke, they shared insight into how today's first-time jobseekers approach the job hunt.
