Many SJ college grads finding work despite challenges in tough pandemic-era job market [The Record, Stockton, Calif]
Some recent college graduates from San Joaquin County have managed to find jobs and others were able to continue their education despite the coronavirus pandemic of the past year.
• Melissa Romero, 22, graduated from University of the Pacific in December with an undergraduate and master’s degrees in accounting. She said she began applying for jobs a few months before graduating and eventually landed a job as an associate for CliftonLarsonAllen, an accounting firm.
“To be able to find a job, I think that was like my biggest worry as I was looking for a job … like will I not find a job, how long will it take me, will I find a firm that I will enjoy? Or you know, it all plays a factor.”
