How can you stand out from other candidates?
There is good news...
- Total hiring across all degrees will expand by 4% this year, with a strong push at the Bachelor’s degree level which will increase approximately 7% this year.
- Nearly 40% of employers will be hiring candidates from all majors, seeking the best talent regardless of field of study.
Liberal arts students are well-positioned to succeed in this environment, but you'll need to be focused, directed and connected. The best job seeking strategies still depend on connections between faculty, students, career service professionals, alumni, parents and hiring staff in organizations.

Dr. Gardner has been researching the college labor market for more than 25 years. We are fortunate to have him visit Puget Sound as part of Homecoming.
