Graduating seniors and other students can land jobs and internships even amid the pandemic if they keep an open mind, says the executive director of the Toppel Career Center.
“The worst thing students can do during this time is have a lot of criteria when looking for job,” Christian Garcia said. “When you do that, you see the positions just diminishing and diminishing,”
Garcia, also an associate dean, compares the current job market to the recession of 2009, especially for students.
“This is not the time to be picky,” he said.
But finding employment in a country coming out of a pandemic can be grueling, said Justin Arenas, a senior motion pictures production major.
