Employer Participation Statistics

  • From September 2009 to September 2010 Business Career Services posted a total of 1,066 job postings for 464 employers. Note that the number of postings does not reflect the number of openings actually made available. Many employers use single postings to hire multiple candidates or post blanket notices of intentions to hire meaning that that number of total individual opportunities actually made available to our students was considerably higher.
