There may be a debate about who actually said this famous line but there is no debate in its call to action, “go west!”
Recently the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) released a survey that indicates that the “Midwest Leads in Hiring Projection Increase.” The good news is: hiring plans are increasing! According to the survey,
Responses indicate that the increase in college hiring will be highest in the Midwest, where employers expect to hire 18.5 percent more college graduates in 2012 than they did in 2011. Employers in the West also anticipate a double-digit increase—11.5 percent.
Why do I share this with you? To remind you that the United States is a big place and that there are many many places to look for jobs (or internships). Maybe someday you will be able to turn down a job because of location but right now it’s good to consider great jobs in locations that you may find less than ideal. To help out we are putting together “City Guides” to help you learn about cities you may not have considered but, considering the job market and the above survey results, we think you should reconsider – (that was a test to see how many times we could use consider in a sentence).
We hope these guides will prove useful when exploring all your options.
And, for our first city, we give you Houston!
