Graduates, <br><br>For those of you looking for positions, just a reminder: Sometimes you have to take a position that is not at the level you seek and work your way up the ladder. While there are still jobs in IT and ID, some are being offered at lower ranks due to the economy. My experience of going through the recession in the mid-80s was that when the economy turned around, everyone got raises to bring salaries back to expected levels. You may want to interview for a position and take the lower position to get your foot in the door -- so to speak! Then you have an opportunity to gain experience, have employment references to help you make the move to the next position when the recession ends.<br>
<br>Just some thoughts....<br>Dr. Franklin<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">The Chronicle of Higher Education</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Job_Alert_Do_Not_Reply@chronicle.com">Job_Alert_Do_Not_Reply@chronicle.com</a>></span><br>
