WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why It’s Tough for Harvard M.B.As to Find Jobs Right Now · 22 Jan 2025 podcast

They're coupling that with sending mass applications to a variety of companies that are posting job listings online.

Many people I talk to have several tailored versions of resumes.

Some are using AI to make sure that those resumes are extremely sharp.

At Duke, a bunch of recent graduates would meet up at a friend's house or a

and kind of all submit applications together.

So I think there are a lot of people in the thick of it.

And in some cases, they're banding together to go through it as a class or at least with numbers.

So there are a few things that have changed for campuses.

A lot of companies laid off many recruiters during many of the contractions that we saw starting in 2023.

And so that means that for campuses, there are fewer known points of contact inside these companies.

For example, tech companies used to have MBA specific recruiters, and if that person lost their job, you know, it might be more difficult for a campus to know who's the best point of contact.

How do I get my foot in the door here?

The other piece of this is that following the pandemic, some companies replaced

those campus visits where you shake hands with a recruiter, with virtual events that are open to all.

Building those relationships, the students and the company, that's a little bit more challenging without that direct face time.

Overall, the number of unemployed Americans who are looking for work for at least six months has increased by more than 50% since the end of 2022.

And for job seekers more broadly, one thing to know is that even with an elite credential, it's tough out there.

I'm hearing from those who have landed work in career advisors that networking is key, especially for companies that have cut back on recruiters in recent years.

Making sure that you have the skills to stand out is also important.

You know, if you can find ways to learn the skills in the job that you want through an online class, through indirect experience, that might make it an easier sell when you're putting your name out there for a position.
