Here’s something I see a lot of Gen Y internship and job seekers doing that is very unproductive: applying to only one thing at a time.

I read an excellent blog post on Brazen Careerist called “Are Recent College Grads a Lost Generation?”

After citing the high unemployment rates for recent college grads, the author argues that little is currently being made of the excellent co-op programs that universities like Northeastern have relied on for many years. A co-op program enables students to take semesters off to work in positions related to their subject and career interests, making them excellent candidates for hire upon graduation.

Back in May, the New York Times wrote an article slamming law school and the profession in general.

Today’s New York Times features a front page article entitled “Many with New College Degree Find the Job Market Humbling”.

I read a post citing research claiming that only 27% of Millenials prefer to work full-time than to freelance. Now granted, this survey was conducted by Upwork, a freelancers’ website, but even so, that figure disturbed me.

On May 11th I attended the second annual Wall Street Women’s Forum, a great event put on by RegentAtlantic Capital’s Jane Newton. It’s a speaker series bringing together 100 senior women who work on and around Wall Street, to help them navigate their careers while networking with one another.
