In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naceweb.org\/Research\/Student\/Student_Survey.aspx?referal=research&#038;menuID=70&#038;nodetype=4\">2009 Student Survey<\/a>, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) found that fewer graduating students already had jobs than in previous years&#8211;and fewer were looking for jobs.\u00a0 The study, conducted from February through April, surveyed more than 34,000 students (about half seniors) from over 800 colleges nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out that less than 20% of the about-to-be grads who were looking for a job actually had one, compared with <em>more than half<\/em> of the 2007 set.\u00a0 But the steep drop actually took place last year, when the percentage plummeted from half to 26%.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of job-seeking:\u00a0 64% were already on the hunt in early 2007, slightly more in 2008, and down a bit to 59% this year.\u00a0 So not a terribly big change.\u00a0 Similarly, not a huge shift in the percentage of students planning to attend graduate school rather than enter the job market.\u00a0 The trend was upward, though, with 20% bound to grad school in 2007, 24% in 2008, and 26% this year.<\/p>\n<p>According to the survey, most of the 2009 seniors were <em>planning<\/em> to look for a job . . . \u00a0So it will be interesting to see&#8211;when September numbers come out for unemployment and graduate enrollment&#8211;how they fared.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a lot of companies and recruiters are receiving a lot of resumes.\u00a0 For those who either don&#8217;t have a dedicated Applicant Tracking System, don&#8217;t like the one they have, or just can&#8217;t resist a gadget, Hireability has come up with a product that will turn the Outlook Inbox into an ATS.\u00a0 Step right up, folks!\u00a0 The handy-dandy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hireability.com\">ALEX Desktop<\/a> will parse a resume, create a Contact, paste the resume content into the Contact notes, and make the whole thing searchable.\u00a0 For now it&#8217;s free, so why not take it for a spin?<\/p>\n<p>On a completely different topic&#8211;I came across the website for a company called Talent Revolution, which styles itself as &#8220;a drastic change in thinking and behaving with talent.&#8221;\u00a0 They clearly want to establish themselves as different, starting with the look of the site (a definite urban flavor, with graffiti, bricks, and black leather) and the tone of the content (lots of superlatives, challenges, and pronouncements).<\/p>\n<p>I left the TR site with two somewhat contradictory reactions.\u00a0 1.\u00a0 It&#8217;s nice to see something different.\u00a0 Now that I think about it, most corporate Career sites and most of the recruiting blogs take a middle-of-the-road, nothing-to-offend approach, both visually and verbally.\u00a0 2.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not nice to be baffled.\u00a0 The TR site was so fragmented I couldn&#8217;t figure out the navigation (seriously), and even after reading quite a bit of the content, I wasn&#8217;t sure what the company actually does or what message they are trying to deliver.<\/p>\n<p>My own takeaway:\u00a0 Edgy has appeal&#8211;but when you invite people into less-familiar territory, it&#8217;s important to give them a good map, well drawn.<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"spacer_\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(Thanks to <a
