ReplyDeleteI disagree about who a company will chose.
I believe that they will take the new grad because they will not be all about negotiating money. They will not be negotiating what kind of experience the will bring to the company. They will present themselves as here I am, new, fresh out of school, mold me..
imo anyways.
Glad my children want to go into medicine when they grow up.
They will for sure take the person with more experience, with so little jobs there are very few who can negotiate money at this point. I am telling you from personal standpoint I have seen it with recent friends who have graduated and have seen it first hand. Why do you think it is that more and more college grads are defaulting, it is no coincedence.
