Chegg is publishing a brand new data report detailing the growing skills gap and a culture of complacency – educators, employers and students acknowledge the gap exists, but they each believe other parties are responsible. The report comes from a new study of university educators, college students, and hiring managers and brings a new, important perspective to Chegg’s findings from last year’s “Bridge That Gap” study.

1. University of Denver students can come to the Career Center and set up
appointments where counselors assist them with building résumés and writing
cover letters that are tailored to specific employers or industries. According to
the Career Center, 42 percent of graduating seniors were already employed at
graduation, compared to the national average of 24 percent.
2. University of Denver students
use internships to network and
gain valuable assistance to help
them with finding a job post-
graduation.
The
Career
Center
encourages
students
to
ac0vely
seek
employment
by
checking
pos0ngs
from
flyers
and
online
databases.
Many
jobs
are
temporary
or
seasonal
posi0ons
offered
to
students
to
help
them
gain
insight
and
experience
in
their
field
of
interest.
3. According to an annual survey conducted by the University of Denver’s Career
Center, 82 percent of graduating seniors at DU who sought employment had a
job within six months of graduating. Nationally, 50 percent of graduating college
students are unemployed or underemployed.
4. DU students
understand the
importance of
networking
with other
working
professionals
to help them
find a job post-
graduation.
“One person
connects you
to another
good person…
and that helps
you,” said
Patricia
O’Keefe,
Career Center
Assistant
Director
5. University of Denver students can search
Career Center databases for employment
opportunities and be proactive by seeking out
potential employers and cold-calling them.
6. Many students said they worry about facing the daunting task of building
customized résumés, filling out job applications and preparing for interviews.
7. DU senior Cory Lamz
prepares for an
interview.
Lamz said he gets
ready for interviews by
researching
companies and
thinking about how he
would best fit in.
Lamz also said he
constantly searches
for job postings and
networks with potential
employers.
“In this day and age,
you have to seach
everywhere for jobs,”
said Lamz.
8. Career counselors offer DU students many services to assist them with finding
a job post-graduation, including practicing for interviews and offering general
tips on the best ways to get in touch with potential employers.
9. The Career
Center also offers
hour-long
sessions for
students who
know what
degree they want,
but are unsure
how to utilize it.
10. Students may have to
search posted job
listings and accept
positions that are not
what they originally
preferred to gain
experience and
position themselves
for the next step.
According to the
Census Bureau’s
Current Population
Survey, half of the 1.5
million graduates who
entered the job
market in 2012 were
underemployed.
The Career Center
advises students to
be open-minded.
11. Like many graduating students, University of Denver students may have to
work part-time in their field to gain the experience of other working
professionals while working part-time in retail to support themselves.
12. DU graduate student Laurel Mazur
said she immediately entered
graduate school after finishing her
undergrad degree rather than seeking
employment. Many students find that
careers require master’s degrees in
addition to bachelor’s degrees.
