Colleges will often flaunt the percent of their students that find job placement after graduation. This figure is generally a hollow, misleading statistic, designed to capture your enrollment (and tuition).
Colleges themselves have typically very little to do with your ability to land a job, beyond having the credential (if it’s even required). There are exceptions – obviously if you graduate from an Ivy League University at the top of your class, it’s going to be easy to find a job. For the rest of us, that fall towards the middle of the bell curve, we have to treat job seeking as a skill set unto itself.
You may have had a professor or two that was pragmatic enough to give you some high-level guidance on how to land a job. Most of the time, however, they stick to the curriculum. Merely passing the course and knowing the material is often not enough to land a job. You must also understand where to look for opportunity, and how to navigate your way to closing the deal with a job offer. Basically, and I can’t emphasize this enough…
