A new survey reportedly finds that MBA students will have to work harder than usual when it comes to lining up jobs after graduation.
This week, the Wall Street Journal website reported on survey results that will be released next week showing that recruitment activity has slowed considerably at business schools around the country.
In the survey, conducted by the MBA Career Services Council, 56 percent of business schools reported a significant drop in recruiting over the winter, while 70 percent of schools said that job-posting activity had fallen more than ten percent.
Even internship recruiting has slowed considerably, according to the report, which went on to note that this is particularly significant because about half of MBA students receive job offers from companies they start off interning for.
Still, many economists have predicted that things will start to turn around by 2010, which indicates that this may be an ideal time to pursue your own MBA degree.
Along with riding out the recession, you may find yourself well-positioned to take advantage of new opportunities that are bound to present themselves as the economy begins to recover.
