The New Year always prompts us to both look back and look ahead.  While it's clear looking back only reminds us of so many of the pressures and challenges faced by our colleagues in career services and college recruiting, looking forward provides us with hope and positive expectations. 

We've spoken with many of our employer colleagues recently and we're excited by the cautious optimism many have expressed concerning the job market for entry level grads and the prospect of more energetic recruiting and hiring activity.  There is a general sense and expectation that there will be a burst of recruiting and hiring sometime this spring.

This will be welcome news to the Class of 2010 as well as to many beleaguered career services professionals using the holiday break to ponder their student support and service options for the remainder of the year.  The sense of hope and enthusiasm is critical - to us and to the student and alumni clients we serve - and we must find it and nurture it.   
We wish all of you a happy and productive New Year with much success in all your endeavors and with all our thanks for your support and encouragement of our efforts with TruMann Consulting!
