There’s positive news on the job front.  Employers project hiring 7.2% more new college graduates from the Class of 2021 than they hired from the Class of 2020. That’s a sharp increase from fall 2020, when employers expected to reduce college hiring slightly. (Source: National Association of Colleges and Employers) 

Check out the good news on Handshake where many new opportunities are added daily.  Also, utilize  your Career Community page where you will find field-specific job boards.
